Part of a three-volume series, this book assembles 15 essays based on papers presented at the 15th Annual Pacific Voice Conference held in Emeryville, California, in March 2005. As the
overlying topic was emotions in the human voice, essays examine a range of subjects such as erotic vocalization, vocal pleasantness, cross-cultural expressions, vocal emotional processing in
men and women, and modifications based on vocal tract structure. Contributors from around the world work in linguistics, psychology, acoustics and audio signal processing, neurology, speech
communication, electrical and information engineering, and other fields. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
