Abstract
In this paper we present an affect editor for speech. The affect editor is a tool that encompasses various editing techniques for expressions in speech. It can be used for both natural and synthesized speech. We present a technique that uses a natural expression in one utterance by a particular speaker to other utterances by the same speaker or by other speakers. Natural new expressions are created without affecting the voice quality.
