Considerations in voice transformation with physiologic scaling principles

摘要: Abstract This study begins to explore the importance of physiological domain in voice transformation. A general approach is outlined for transforming quality sentence-level speech while maintaining same phonetic content. Transformations will eventually include gender, age, quality, emotional state, disordered dialect or impersonation. In this paper, only a specific twang, described as an example. The basic question is: relative pure signal processing, can voices be transformed more effectively if biomechanical, acoustic and anatomical scaling principles are applied? At present, two approaches contrasted, Linear Predictive Coding biomechanical simulation approach.
