Manipulation of the prosodic features of vocal tract length, nasality and articulatory precision using articulatory synthesis
Vocal emotions, as well as different speaking styles and speaker traits are characterized by a complex interplay of multiple prosodic features. Natural sounding speech synthesis with the ability to control such paralinguistic aspects requires the manipulation of the corresponding prosodic features. With traditional concatenative speech synthesis it is easy to manipulate the “primary” prosodic f...
متن کاملArticulatory synthesis using a vocal-tract model of variable length
A method of articulatory synthesis using a vocal-tract model with variable length is proposed. The vocal-tract length is derived prior to the unique determination of vocal-tract area parameters incorporated with a codebook that maps formants to vocal-tract length is used. A two-dimensional interpolation function for irregularly spaced data is conducted to confine vocal-tract length in the first...
متن کاملArticulatory Vocal Tract Synthesis in Supercollider
The APEX system [1] enables vocal tract articulation using a reduced set of user controllable parameters by means of Principal Component Analysis of X-ray tract data. From these articulatory profiles it is then possible to calculate cross-sectional area function data that can be used as input to a number of articulatory based speech synthesis algorithms. In this paper the Kelly-Lochbaum 1-D dig...
متن کاملSimulation of Vocal Tract Growth for Articulatory Speech Synthesis
We present a three-dimensional articulatory model of the vocal tract with the capability to simulate growth from infancy to adulthood. This model is intended to be applied for the articulatory synthesis of children’s speech and the study of speech acquisition. To generate the vocal tract shape for a given age (1–20 years) and sex, we rescale the anatomic structures of an adult reference vocal t...
متن کاملMapping from articulatory movements to vocal tract spectrum with Gaussian mixture model for articulatory speech synthesis
This paper describes a method for determining the vocal tract spectrum from articulatory movements using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to synthesize speech with articulatory information. The GMM on joint probability density of articulatory parameters and acoustic spectral parameters is trained using a parallel acousticarticulatory speech database. We evaluate the performance of the GMM-based m...
