Contemporary speech synthesisers still provide a fairly monotonous and tedious output when used for longer Czech texts.

In the present paper we focus on the modelling of real-speech-based emotions in synthetic speech and the subsequent assessment of emotionally coloured utterances in listening tests with the aim of determining the role that individual prosodic parameters play in the identification of each emotion
