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
