Abstract

Our paper is aimed at statistical analysis and comparison of spectral features which complement vocal tract characteristics (spectral centroid, spectral flatness measure, Shannon entropy, Rényi entropy, etc.) in emotional and neutral speech of male and female voice. This experiment was realized using the German speech database EmoDB and the Czech and Slovak speech material extracted from the stories performed by professional actors. Analysis of complementary spectral features (basic and extended statistical parameters and histograms of spectral features distribution) for all three languages confirms that this approach can be used for classification of emotional speech types.
