Abstract: An electronic device and a controlling method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device acquires text to respond on a received user's speech, acquires a plurality of pieces of parameter information for determining a style of an output speech corresponding to the text based on information on a type of a plurality of text-to-speech (TTS) databases and the received user's speech, identifies a TTS database corresponding to the plurality of pieces of parameter information among the plurality of TTS databases, identifies a weight set corresponding to the plurality of pieces of parameter information among a plurality of weight sets acquired through a trained artificial intelligence model, adjusts information on the output speech stored in the TTS database based on the weight set, synthesizes the output speech based on the adjusted information on the output speech, and outputs the output speech corresponding to the text.
