Voice transformation (VT) aims to change one or more aspects of a speech signal while
preserving linguistic information. A subset of VT, Voice conversion (VC) specifically aims to …

This paper is a contribution to the definition of a new kind of digital signal processing chain.
It is focused on Finite-Impulse-Response filtering (FIR) applied to irregularly sampled …

Generating expressive synthetic voices requires carefully designed databases that contain
sufficient amount of expressive speech material. This paper investigates voice conversion …

We present in this paper an exemplar-based voice conversion (VC) method using a
phoneme-categorized dictionary. Sparse representation-based VC using Non-negative …

The goal of voice conversion is to transform a sentence said by one speaker, to sound as if
another speaker had said it. The classical conversion based on a Gaussian Mixture Model …

Recent studies in our lab show that emotions in speech are manifested as, besides supra-
segmental trends, distinct variations in phoneme-level prosodic and spectral parameters. In …

Voice conversion has been traditionally focused on spectrum. Current systems lack a solid
prosody conversion method suitable for different speaking styles. Recently, the unit selection …

Dentro de las tecnologías del habla, la conversión de voz consiste en transformar la voz de
un hablante, llamado hablante origen, de tal modo que los oyentes la perciban como si …

Restriction of normal speech from Chinese whispered speech based on radial basis function
neural network (RBF NN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, capture the nonlinear map** of …

This paper proposes a simultaneous modeling of spectrum and F0 for voice conversion
based on MSD (multi-space probability distribution) models. As a conventional technique, a …
