Hi, I tried to change the stressed word in the sentence using all the examples available. The voice is Emma, and Emma is multilingual (EN-US). When adding prosody in SSML or just pitch or intonation, nothing happens. Now I try to add just weird punctuation to change the stressed word, but it doesn't work 100% of the time. By the way, when I open Edit intonation, the sample works. But not in the whole sentence: Thanks for any advice!

Intonation does not work correctly

Hi Piklyaev, Anton,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Q&A forum.

I understand you're having trouble changing the stressed words in a sentence with the Emma and Emma is multilingual (EN-US).

We can emphasize the specific words you want in the sentence.

In the model tuning section, you can adjust the pitch and rate to highlight the words you want. By making these changes, you can get the results you want. Using pitch and rate along with prosody will give you more options for emphasizing specific words or phrases.

Here the screenshot for your reference:
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you.

Thank you, this makes sense - to separate the line and apply the pitch and prosody to the entire line. I will try so!
