AB - This study presents results from two speech perception experiments to provide empirical evidence for improving perceptual clarity in audio descriptions (AD) for character emotions. In both experiments, 27 participants with normal vision heard AD-style utterances that varied in objectivity of appraisals (i.e., words denoting emotion vs. words describing behavior) and in prosodic saliency of the appraisals, and then self-rated the degree of perceived emotions on a 9-point scale. As an effect of objectivity, subjective descriptions induced significantly higher emotion ratings than objective ones in Experiment 1, in which prior context was given minimally. In Experiment 2 which provided more faithful contextual information, however, perceived character emotion tended to be greater for objective appraisals, possibly suggesting that objective descriptions along with abundant context help the listeners actively reconstruct mental representations for the intended psychological states. The effects of prosody were more robust across the experiments. The ratings significantly increased when provided with more salient acoustic cues for the phrase boundary and prominence, highlighting the role of prosodically-driven articulatory strengthening in speech perception, which may be provided as a guideline for trained dubbing artists.
