How to produce emotional speech using ssml prosody element?

I have tried this piece of code to produce sad emotion in the speech, but there are no changes in the voice emotion.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer();
    PromptBuilder pb1 = new PromptBuilder();

    string sad = "<prosody  pitch=\"-20%\" range=\"low\" rate =\"50%\" volume =\"30\"><emphasis level=\"none\">... She  was  sad.  Ellen  cried.  Calvin  said, I  feel  guilty.  Calvin told  Daddy Sam that he broke the lamp.</emphasis></prosody>";

    pb1.AppendSsmlMarkup(sad);
    synth.Speak(pb1);        
}

  • Sorry if my question was not clear. It works well ,there is no any error; but It doesn't produce the sad emotion in the speech. I need one that used these prosody properties (pitch, rate...etc.) in ssml for producing emotional speech. Thanks in advance – Yasmeen Hesham Jun 26 '18 at 23:09
