The paper introduces an expressive mandarin speech corpus, which is supported by National Hi-tech program (863) and National Science Funding of China (NSFC), for research into expressive speech information processing. The corpus contains emotional speech, dialogue speech, etc. In order to get the subtle acoustic information, the paper also presents the annotation methods with multiple perception results for emotional speech. Furthermore, some acoustic analysis results are also discussed. The corpus has been proved very useful used in our research, on both emotional speech processing and spoken language synthesis/understanding.
