无论是在表演艺术还是情感研究中，专业演员都被认为能够传达与自发情感表达相当的情感。本研究探讨了表演训练对声音情感描述和识别的影响。我们预测专业演员比非专业演员会以更真实的方式表达情感。然而，专业的表演训练可能会导致特定的言语模式；这可能是因为演员的声音表达与真实样本的可比性低于非专业演员的声音表达。我们将电台采访中的 80 个情感言语标记与专业演员和缺乏经验的演员分别表演的 80 个场景进行了比较。我们分析了情感和真实性评级的识别准确性，并比较了语音标记的声学结构。两种表演条件都产生了相似的识别精度，并且比自发录音具有更多可变的音高轮廓。然而，与未经训练的演讲者相比，专业演员表现出不同的发音模式。我们的结果表明，对于情感研究，专业演员的情感表达并不比非演员更适合。
Both in the performative arts and in emotion research, professional actors are assumed to be capable of delivering emotions comparable to spontaneous emotional expressions. This study examines the effects of acting training on vocal emotion depiction and recognition. We predicted that professional actors express emotions in a more realistic fashion than non-professional actors. However, professional acting training may lead to a particular speech pattern; this might account for vocal expressions by actors that are less comparable to authentic samples than the ones by non-professional actors. We compared 80 emotional speech tokens from radio interviews with 80 re-enactments by professional and inexperienced actors, respectively. We analyzed recognition accuracies for emotion and authenticity ratings and compared the acoustic structure of the speech tokens. Both play-acted conditions yielded similar recognition accuracies and possessed more variable pitch contours than the spontaneous recordings. However, professional actors exhibited signs of different articulation patterns compared to non-trained speakers. Our results indicate that for emotion research, emotional expressions by professional actors are not better suited than those from non-actors.
