Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) in speech signals are believed to reflect various non-linear phenomena during the speech production process. In this paper, the amplitude and frequency modulation patterns are analyzed for the first three speech resonances in relation to the fundamental frequency (F0). The formant tracks are estimated, and the resonant signals are extracte...
This paper presents a new approach for formant tracking using a parameter-free non-linear predictor that maps formant frequencies and bandwidths into the acoustic feature space. The approach relies on decomposing the speech signal into two components: the first component captures the mapping between formants and acoustic observations, while the second component is intended to capture the residu...
Neurophysiological changes in the brain associated with major depression disorder can disrupt articulatory precision in speech production. Motivated by this observation, we address the hypothesis that articulatory features, as manifested through formant frequency tracks, can help in automatically classifying depression state. Specifically, we investigate the relative importance of vocal tract f...
This paper examines a method for formant parameter extraction from a labeled single speaker database for use in a formantparameter diphone-concatenation speech synthesis system. This procedure commences with an initial formant analysis of the labelled database, which is then used to obtain formant (F1-F5) probability spaces for each phoneme. These probability spaces guide a more careful speaker...
This paper studies various aspects of child vocalization as captured in a newly established parallel corpus of sixteen 18–31 months old US and Shanghainese toddlers. The recordings were acquired in 16-hour sessions during an ‘ordinary’ day in the child’s natural environment and manually labeled. The vocalization characteristics are studied by means of phonotactic and prosodic analysis with emph...
This research examines parameters of drinking judgment by comparing sound characteristics before and after drinking using voice analysis. Until now, characteristics of drinkers are studied from perspectives of pitch, formant, and changes in size of sound, however, as these factors are very sensitive to environmental changes to be used as a measurer for judging drinking, it is important to find ...
This work examines the utility of formant frequencies and their energies in acoustic-to-articulatory inversion. For this purpose, formant frequencies and formant spectral amplitudes are automatically estimated from audio, and are treated as observations for the purpose of estimating electromagnetic articulography (EMA) coil positions. A mixture Gaussian regression model with mel-frequency cepst...
The objective of this study was to assess the difference in voice quality as defined by acoustical analysis using sustained vowel in laryngectomized patients in comparison with normal volunteers. This was designed as a retrospective single center cohort study. An adult tertiary referral unit formed the setting of this study. Fifty patients (40 males) who underwent total laryngectomy and 31 norm...
A technique for modifying vocal tract area functions is developed by using sum and difference combinations of acoustic sensitivity functions to perturb an initial vocal tract configuration. First, sensitivity functions [e.g., Fant and Pauli, Proc. Speech Comm. Sem. 74, 1975] are calculated for a given area function, at its specific formant frequencies. The sensitivity functions are then multipl...
This article is a response to Hermann Künzel’s article ‘Beware of the “telephone effect”: the influence of telephone transmission on the measurement of formant frequencies’ (Forensic Linguistics 8(1), 80–99). There, he shows convincingly that the evaluation of formant frequencies, notably F1, is affected by the band-pass filter effect of telephone transmission. This response does not question h...
