Factors Influencing Vocal Pitch in Articulatory Speech Synthesis: A Study Using PRAAT
نویسندگان
چکیده
An extensive study on the parameters influencing the pitch of a standard speaker in articulatory speech synthesis is presented. The speech synthesiser used is the articulatory synthesiser in PRAAT. Categorically, the repercussion of two parameters: Lungs and Cricothyroid on the average pitch of the synthesised sounds is studied. Statistical analysis of synthesis data proclaim the extent to which each of the variables transform the tonality of the

Towards an Evolutionary Computational Approach to Articulatory Vocal Synthesis with PRAAT
This paper presents our current work into developing an evolutionary computing approach to articulatory speech synthesis. Specifically, we implement genetic algorithms to find optimised parameter combinations for the re-synthesis of a vowel using the articulatory synthesiser PRAAT. Our framework analyses the target sound using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain formant information, which is...
متن کاملManipulation 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...

Introduction: habitual pitch perception associated with the mean fundamental frequency of speech. In the clinical evaluation referred to this issue is dealt with in the normal range for a person whether he is a habitual pitch. A common feature in many of the abnormal pitch of voice disorders, the assessment of habitual pitch and factors affecting it, may help scientists to determine the exist...
متن کاملA Web-based Articulatory Spee Distance Educ
We have developed a speech synthesis system based on the speech production process. In the system, control parameters for the vocal tract shape and vocal cords are interactively set in order to produce speech output. Such an intuitive system is useful not only for speech research but also for teaching materials in speech science. In this paper, a network-based articulatory speech synthesis syst...
متن کاملVocal pitch discrimination in the motor system.
Speech production can be broadly separated into two distinct components: Phonation and Articulation. These two aspects require the efficient control of several phono-articulatory effectors. Speech is indeed generated by the vibration of the vocal-folds in the larynx (F0) followed by ''filtering" by articulators, to select certain resonant frequencies out of that wave (F1, F2, F3, etc.). Recentl...
