Acoustic and Egg Analysis of Pressed Phonation

چکیده
Pressed phonation ("rikimi" in Japanese) is a voice quality that carries important paralinguistic information of expressivity in the emotional or attitudinal states of the speaker. Analysis of pressed voice samples extracted from natural conversational speech firstly shows that irregularity in periodicity (such as in vocal fry and harsh voices) is a common but not a strictly determinant feature of pressed voices. Spectral analysis shows that parameters related with spectral slope are effective to identify part of the pressed voice samples, but fail when vowels are nasalized or double-beating occurs within a glottal cycle. Temporal analyses of speech and EGG waveforms indicate that information about the completely closed period can potentially be used for pressed voice identification.

Relationship of Various Open Quotients With Acoustic Property, Phonation Types, Fundamental Frequency, and Intensity.
INTRODUCTION In the present study, we examined the relationship between various open quotients (Oqs) and phonation types, fundamental frequency (F0), and intensity by multivariate linear regression analysis (MVA) to determine which Oq best reflects vocal fold vibratory characteristics. METHODS Using high-speed digital imaging (HSDI), a sustained vowel /e/ at different phonation types, F0s, an...
متن کاملAnalysis of breathy, modal and pressed phonation based on low frequency spectral density
Breathy phonation has a high open quotient compared to modal phonation which results in greater influence of the subglottal cavity on the estimated short-time spectrum. This is reflected as an increase in spectral density at frequencies below the first resonance of the vocal tract around the glottal formant. On the contrary, pressed phonation has lesser influence of the subglottal cavity, and h...
متن کاملAn acoustic and electroglottographic study of White Hmong tone and phonation
This study examines tone and phonation in White Hmong, a language with seven tones (traditionally described as: high, mid, low, high-falling, mid-rising, low-falling, and mid-low) and three phonations (low-falling tone is creaky, mid-low tone is breathy and the remaining tones are modal). Thirty-two speakers were recorded producing words with all seven tones; audio and electroglottographic reco...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Voice Source in Different Phonation Types: Simultaneous High-Speed Imaging of the Vocal Fold Vibration and Glottal Inverse Filtering
Glottal flow waveforms estimated by inverse filtering acoustic speech pressure signals were compared to glottal area functions obtained by digital high-speed imaging of the vocal fold vibration. Speech data consisted of breathy, normal and pressed phonations produced by two male and one female subjects. The results yield both qualitative and quantitative information about the relationship betwe...
متن کاملCorrelation between Acoustic Parameters and Disease Severity and Duration in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Since in multiple sclerosis (MS), changes in speech and voice quality often precede other signs and symptoms; early diagnosis of these changes is necessary. In this study, an acoustic examination of phonation subsystem was performed. Due to the progressive nature of multiple sclerosis, the aim of this study was to examine the correlation between acoustic parameters ...
