Excitation-based Voice Quality Analysis and Modification [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper investigates the differences occuring in the excitation for different voice qualities. Its goal is two-fold. First a large corpus containing three voice qualities (modal, soft and loud) uttered by the same speaker is analyzed and significant differences in characteristics extracted from the excitation are observed.

Towards Improving the Expressiveness of Singing Voice Synthesis with BERT Derived Semantic Information [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper presents an end-to-end high-quality singing voice synthesis (SVS) system that uses bidirectional encoder representation from Transformers (BERT) derived semantic embeddings to improve the expressiveness of the synthesized singing voice. Based on the main architecture of recently proposed VISinger, we put forward several specific designs for ...

The perceptual structure of pathologic voice quality [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996 Although perceptual assessment is included in most protocols for evaluating pathologic voices, a standard set of valid scales for measuring voice quality has never been established. Standardization is important for theory and for clinical acceptance, and also because validation of objective measures of voice depends on valid perceptual measures.

Data-driven Detection and Analysis of the Patterns of Creaky Voice [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper investigates the temporal excitation patterns of creaky voice. Creaky voice is a voice quality frequently used as a phrase-boundary marker, but also as a means of portraying attitude, affective states and even social status. Consequently, the automatic detection and modelling of creaky voice may have implications for speech technology ...

HiFi-VC: High Quality ASR-Based Voice Conversion [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The goal of voice conversion (VC) is to convert input voice to match the target speaker's voice while keeping text and prosody intact. VC is usually used in entertainment and speaking-aid systems, as well as applied for speech data generation and augmentation.
