Acoustic Correlates of Perceived Anger in Clear Speech

Clear speech has been found to be perceived as sounding angry more often than conversational speech in several studies (Morgan and Ferguson, 2017; Young et al., 2024). The current study examines potential acoustic correlates of perceived anger in clear speech for a database of 41 talkers producing clear and conversational speech. Citations: Morgan, S.
