 By default, the text-to-speech service synthesizes text using a neutral speaking style for both standard and neural voices. With neural voices, you can adjust the speaking style to express cheerfulness, empathy, or sentiment with the `<mstts:express-as>` element. This is an optional element unique to the Speech service.
 
 Currently, speaking style adjustments are supported for these neural voices:
