EW-AV-DB (emotional Audio/Video Data Base)   
EW-AV-DB is a new collected Audio Visual DB which is used to model the articulatory movements associated with emotional AV speech in Italian and to train the statistical models forn modeling the dynamics of emotional facial expressions. It’s divided in:

• MIC-ART Emotion 1
  Italian 3 emotional isolated words (aba, ava, mamma) + 1 sentence (la mamma mangia), 6+1 emotions , 1 male actor, 5 repetitions, microphonic signal, 16 bit PCM, 16 kHz, 28 ELITE markers 16-bit PCM coded at 100 Hz (10 ms), segmented and labelled (ASCII)

• MIC-ART Emotion 2
  Italian 7 emotional isolated nonsense words (aba, ada, aLA, adZa, ala, ana, ava) + 1 sentence (“Il fabbro lavora con forza usando il martello e la tenaglia” – lit. “the smith works with strength using the hammer and the pincer”), Such utterances provide a good phonetic coverage and they also cover the seven basic viseme classes for Italian. Each utterance was acted with seven emotional states, corresponding to the Eckman’s set – Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness, Surprise - [Ekman, 1992], with the additional state ‘Neutral’. Each emotional state, except ‘Neutral’, was acted with different intensities: Low, Medium and High. Technical Details: 6+1 emotions (3 levels: low, medium high), 1 male actor, 5 repetitions, microphonic signal, 16 bit PCM, 16 kHz, 28 ELITE markers 16-bit PCM coded at 100 Hz (10 ms), segmented and labelled (ASCII: PHN, "narrow" phonetic labelling - WRD: orthographic transcription)

• MIC-ART Emotion 3
  Provides data pertaining to the dynamics of emotional behaviour: the actor was asked to play concatenated words (short words in pairs) each with three different emotional states – anger, happiness, and neutral) at a medium intensity. In order to assess cross-language/cross-cultural effects, a set of non-sense words (abba, adda, alla, anna, avva), common to Italian and Swedish, acted with three different emotional states (Anger, Happiness, and Neutral), was also collected.

The recording procedure was the following:
short words and sentences to be played by the actor, followed by the corresponding emotional state and intensity, were announced by a speaker, according to the following scheme: <utterance/short word><emotional state><intensity> For example: Abba, happy, low. The sequences of “utterance/short word, emotional state, intensity”, covering all possible combinations for several repetitions, to be played, were generated randomly. To ensure a easier detection of the starting and ending point of the emotional behaviour, before and after the utterance/short word played emotionally, the actor delivered an additional word, respectively “chiudo” (lit. I close) and “punto” (point). For example: “CHIUDO” [abba]Hap, Low “PUNTO”
