About this resource:

Emotive Narrative Storytelling (EMNS) corpus introduces a dataset consisting of a single speaker, British English speech with high-quality labelled utterances tailored to drive interactive experiences with dynamic and expressive language. Each audio-text pairs are reviewed for artefacts and quality.
