voiceR test Audio List

Description

An audio list containing recordings for ten English-speaking participants. Interested users can download an extended version of this data set <a href="https://osf.io/zt5h2/?view_only=348d1d172435449391e8d64547716477">here</a> Participants were seated with an experimenter in a sound-isolated room. All voice recordings were collected using a Blue Yeti Microphone. We used Audacity version 2.4.2 to record the audio files and saved all files using a 32-bit WAV format. Participants were instructed to read the phrase "I go to the bar" in either a happy or a sad voice. The experimenter requested each emotion one at a time and in random sequence to counter order effects.

Format

'testAudioList' A list containing 20 Wave objects. Each Wave object has as name its file name. This file name contains three components separated by an underscore:

First component

combination of numbers and letters refers to the participant identifier, i.e., the ID component

Second component

refers to the intention or emotional aspect that the speaker is conveying: Happy, or Sad. This component makes reference to the main point that we want to compare in our data; in the voiceR package the main comparison component is called Condition, because it usually refers to experimental conditions.

Third component

provides additional information in the voiceR package.
