using Microsoft.SpeechServer.Synthesis;
        . . .
        PromptStyle DefaultPromptStyle;
        PromptStyle WarningPromptStyle;
        . . .
        private void codeActivity1_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DefaultPromptStyle = new PromptStyle();

            WarningPromptStyle = new PromptStyle();
            WarningPromptStyle.Emphasis = PromptEmphasis.Strong;
            WarningPromptStyle.Rate = PromptRate.Slow;
            WarningPromptStyle.Volume = PromptVolume.Loud;
        }

        private void statementActivity1_TurnStarting(object sender, TurnStartingEventArgs e)
