1. A system comprising:
a sound output device; and
processing circuitry configured to:
determine, based on environmental audio obtained from a microphone, at least one of an amplitude of a user's voice, an arrival direction of environmental sound, and a cadence of the user's voice;
adjust, based on at least one of the amplitude of the user's voice, the arrival direction of the environmental sound, or the cadence of the user's voice, (i) a virtual spatial position of a spatial audio simulation by simulating a sound at the virtual spatial position relative to the sound output device, and (ii) one or more sound presentation parameters to decrease a cadence of speech output with increased values of the cadence of the user's voice; and
operate the sound output device to output audio according to the one or more sound presentation parameters at the virtual spatial position and provide an animation to the user that the virtual spatial position is adjusted.
