This study explores how age and language shape the deliberate vocal expression of emotion, addressing underexplored user groups, Teenagers (N = 12) and Adults 55+ (N = 12), within speech emotion recognition (SER). While most SER systems are trained on spontaneous, monolingual English data, our research evaluates how such models interpret intentionally performed emotional speech across age groups and languages (Danish and English). To support this, we developed a novel experimental paradigm comb…
