A very high quality speech analysis, modification and synthesis system—STRAIGHT—has
now been implemented in C language and operated in realtime. This article first provides a …

In this paper we introduce a morph-based approach for generating voice source
aperiodicities frequently associated with strong vocal expressions, especially in singing. In …

The aim of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the expressive strengths of
gestures and voice for embodied and personified interfaces. We conduct perceptual tests …

In this paper, acoustic cues and human capability for discriminating singing and speaking
voices are discussed to develop an automatic discrimination system for singing and …

This paper experimentally shows the importance of perceptual continuity of the expressive
strength in vocal timbre for natural change in vocal expression. In order to synthesize …

論文抄録 音声, 特に強め表現を伴う歌声においてはしばしば声帯振動に基本周期外の不規則な
挙動が見られる. 本稿ではこのような声質を持つ音声を再現するためのスペクトルモーフィングに …

The automatic assignment of anchoring points is proposed to define the correspondence
between the timefrequency representations of speech samples for speech morphing …

In this paper we introduce a morph-based approach for generating voice source
aperiodicities frequently associated with strong vocal expressions, especially in singing. In …

In this paper an approach to improve the quality of synthetic speech in formant and
concatenative synthesis techniques is described. To deal with this problem we focused on …

The purpose of this dissertation is to propose and investigate multimodal expression of
personified media, with multiple modalities, focusing on the expressive strength of voice and …
