Weighted frequency warping for voice conversion
This paper presents a new voice conversion method called Weighted Frequency Warping (WFW), which combines the well known GMM approach and the frequency warping approach. The harmonic plus stochastic model has been used to analyze, modify and synthesize the speech signal. Special phase manipulation procedures have been designed to allow the system to work in pitch-asynchronous mode. The experime...
متن کاملFrequency warping based on mapping formant parameters
We propose a novel method of generating a frequency warping function by mapping formant parameters of the source speaker and the target speaker. Alignment and selection process are performed to ensure that the mapping formants can represent speakers’ difference well. This approach requires only a very small amount of training data for generating the warping function, which can greatly facilitat...
متن کاملReducing one-to-many problem in Voice Conversion by equalizing the formant locations using dynamic frequency warping
In this study, we investigate a solution to reduce the effect of oneto-many problem in voice conversion. One-to-many problem in VC happens when two very similar speech segments in source speaker have corresponding speech segments in target speaker that are not similar to each other. As a result, the mapper function usually oversmoothes the generated features in order to be similar to both targe...
متن کاملVoice conversion algorithm based on piecewise linear conversion rules of formant frequency and spectrum tilt
This article presents a new algorithm used in order to convert the speech of one speaker so that it sounds like that of another speaker. This algorithm flexibly converts voice quality using two major technical developments. Firstly, the modification of formant frequencies and spectral intensity using piecewise linear voice conversion rules. This enables the control of spectrum parameters in det...
متن کاملHigh quality voice conversion based on Gaussian mixture model with dynamic frequency warping
In the voice conversion algorithm based on the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), quality of the converted speech is degraded because the converted spectrum is exceedingly smoothed. In this paper, we newly propose the GMM-based algorithm with the Dynamic Frequency Warping (DFW) to avoid the over-smoothing. We also propose that the converted spectrum is calculated by mixing the GMM-based converted sp...
