Are you using BOW for sentiment analysis? Also, have you tried tinkering with Watson's sentiment analyzer?

I'm working on a project that analyzes sentiment from speech, and I've been meaning to start on text sentiment analysis, but I'm not sure where to start.

I'm using VADER - https://github.com/cjhutto/vaderSentiment - because it's trained on NYT data which makes it suitable for news sentiment parsing.

The code is pretty readable but relies heavily on a ruleset which might need to be tweaked for one's need.
