From the first moment of our life we express emotions with voice. Not only that - adults understand them. I can express my own emotions without words. And I can change my mood by singing. So the question is - what's there? Is it formants? Is it universal? Can we map them like syllables? And music, it touches same emotions. Does it use same mechanism? Edit: found "Emotional speech synthesis: Applications, history and possible future" [1], looks like melody is part of emotion processing. If mapping is possible I'd love to see application in dubbing. Both as translate and TTS with mapped emotions and dubbing actors evaluation/autotune.
