1. A processor-implemented method of using automated speech analysis to provide feedback on an evaluation speech sample comprising:

  • receiving a training speech sample in response to a first prompt;

    determining a plurality of training speech features for the training speech sample using a processor;

    generating a scoring model based on the plurality of training speech features, wherein the scoring model is effective for scoring high entropy evaluation speech responses;

    receiving the evaluation speech sample in response to a second prompt using a processor;

    determining a plurality of evaluation speech features for the evaluation speech sample using a processor; and

    providing diagnostic feedback to the speaker based upon the scoring model and the evaluation speech features using a processor.
