Why is it important?
The modulation of voice properties, such as pitch, volume, and speed, is crucial for delivering a successful public speech. However, it is challenging to master different voice modulation skills. Though many guidelines are available, they are often not practical enough to be applied in different public speaking situations, especially for novice speakers.
Perspectives
This is my first first-authored paper. I am very grateful for the help I have received from my co-authors. I really hope to build more intelligent systems to make human communication easier and more effective.
