Expressive speech analysis for story telling application

In recent years, the work on expressive styles of speech has increased rather than focusing on basic emotions. The present paper shows the comparison of expressive speech and neutral speech on the basis of pitch and intensity where neutral speech can be further modify to produce expressive style with emotion which is suitable for story telling application. Our approach is to perform an analysis of human storytelling speech and design set of rules that modifies prosodic parameters such as pitch, intensity, tempo etc. This paper basically aims at children as it deals with storytelling applications.
