3.1.2. SAVEE

SAVEE is a speech emotion database that consists of recordings from four male actors in seven different emotion classes. The database comprises of a total of 480 British English utterances, which is quite different from the North American accent used in the RAVDESS database. These vocal utterances were processed and labeled in a standard media laboratory with high quality audio-visual equipment. The recorded vocal utterances were classified into seven classes of angry, disgust, fear, happy, neutral, sad and surprise emotional expressions. The neutral emotion constituted 120 audio files, while all the other remaining emotions comprised of 60 audio files each as illustrated in Figure 2.
