Abstract
This paper explores a unit selection based concatenative approach towards emotional speech synthesis in Hindi. The emotions explored are sad and neutral. The Festival framework is used as the underlying Text-To-Speech (TTS) system. The various steps which are followed to create a new voice in Festival are described here. The developed TTS systems are evaluated by subjective evaluation tests. These tests indicate a significant improvement in the quality of synthesis after necessary prosody modifications. Finally, possible improvements which can be made on the systems are put forward. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
