In this paper we consider the automatic emotions recognition problem, especially the case of digital audio signal processing. We consider and verify an approach in which the classification of a sound fragment can be solved using long short-term memory neural network. The computational experiment was done based on Ravdess open dataset including 8 different emotions: "neutral", "calm", "happy," "sad," "angry," "scared", "disgust", "surprised". The best accuracy result was 99%, which was produced by using LSTM network and MFCC.
