Open Source JL-corpus was used as the primary dataset for this study. The corpus includes 300 short audio files, 150 of which were recorded by two different females and 150 of which were recorded by two different males in New Zealand English. Each audio file is labeled with one of five emotions: angry, happy, neutral, excited, and sad. The transcription, sex, F0, maximum pitch, minimum pitch, F1, F2, F3, intensity, maximum intensity, minimum intensity, duration, and emotion label were extracted for each audio file using Praat. This data was used as training data for the machine learning model.
