[mary-users] Create emotional speeches.

[Baveendran Nagendran]

Dear Community,
I am an undergraduate and doing a research on automatic emotional story
telling. I found that MaryTTS is used to develop emotional speeches in some
literature. I don't have any experience in doing researches or
implementations in TTS. I don't know from where to start. I am asking a
help that someone able to voluntarily guide me to do this research. I am
using MaryTTS. How can I create some emotional speech for some text inputs
like a story?.
for example:
"Once upon a time , a dog invited a pelican over for a treat at his house.
The dog had prepared a variety of dishes for the pelican. When the pelican
arrived at the house of the dog , the dog served the food on a flat plate.
The pelican struggled very hard to eat from the plate and gave up trying.
He felt insulted and left the house.

Then the pelican thought to teach the dog a lesson. The next day, the
pelican invited the dog to his house. The dog was served food in a bottle.
The dog tried its best to eat from the bottle but failed in doing so. The
dog felt insulted and said , “Is this how you would treat your guest?” the
pelican replied, “ Was the way correct how you treated me when i came for
the dinner at your house?” The dog felt ashamed and apologized from the
pelican. Then they both had dinner in their respected plates and enjoyed
the dinner".

Please help me to do this research successfully.

Thanks in advance.


Br,
