Thread-topic: Emotions vocalisations database

Hello all,

I am in need of a set of freely available emotions vocalisations for a study I am doing on detecting emotions in the human voice.

I am aware of the Montreal Affective Voices. I am also aware of the International Affective Digitized Sounds (IADS-E) database.

Is there any reason to choose one over the other or anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Maria
