Abstract :
This paper discusses the pitch variation in Malay and English emotional voice samples for six emotion states. LP analysis is carried out to calculate the emotion features in speech and the results are observed in terms of average pitch, pitch range and jitter. Comparison between male and female pitch is also done. Based on the pitch variation analysis, language factor does not affect the acoustic correlates of emotional speech.
