Text-driven Emotional Style Control and Cross-speaker Style Transfer in Neural TTS. (arXiv:2207.06000v1 [cs.CL])

Expressive text-to-speech has shown improved performance in recent years.
However, the style control of synthetic speech is often restricted to discrete
emotion categories and requires training data recorded by the target speaker in
