Voice Conversion for Whispered Speech Synthesis
Marius Cotescu, Thomas Drugman, Goeric Huybrechts +2
We present an approach to synthesize whisper by applying a handcrafted signal processing recipe and Voice Conversion (VC) techniques to convert normally phonated speech to whispere…
Using a Pitch-Synchronous Residual Codebook for Hybrid HMM/Frame Selection Speech Synthesis
Thomas Drugman, Alexis Moinet, Thierry Dutoit +1
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so as…
Traditional Machine Learning for Pitch Detection
Thomas Drugman, Goeric Huybrechts, Viacheslav Klimkov +1
Pitch detection is a fundamental problem in speech processing as F0 is used in a large number of applications. Recent articles have proposed deep learning for robust pitch tracking…
