show abstract
In this paper we report preliminary findings from two user studies
that on the one hand investigate how prosodic parameters of
synthetic speech can influence the perceived impression of the
speakers personality and on the other hand explores if and how
people attribute personality to objects such as typical products of
daily shopping. The results show that a) prosodic parameters have a
strong influence on the perceived personality and can be partially
used to achieve a desired impression and b) that subjects clearly
attribute personalities to products. Both findings encourage us to
continue our work on a dialogue shell for talking products.
