Multi-interaction TTS toward professional recording reproduction
Hiroki Kanagawa, Kenichi Fujita, Aya Watanabe +1
Voice directors often iteratively refine voice actors' performances by providing feedback to achieve the desired outcome. While this iterative feedback-based refinement process is…
Building speech corpus with diverse voice characteristics for its prompt-based representation
Aya Watanabe, Shinnosuke Takamichi, Yuki Saito +3
In text-to-speech synthesis, the ability to control voice characteristics is vital for various applications. By leveraging thriving text prompt-based generation techniques, it shou…
Coco-Nut: Corpus of Japanese Utterance and Voice Characteristics Description for Prompt-based Control
Aya Watanabe, Shinnosuke Takamichi, Yuki Saito +3
In text-to-speech, controlling voice characteristics is important in achieving various-purpose speech synthesis. Considering the success of text-conditioned generation, such as tex…
Mid-attribute speaker generation using optimal-transport-based interpolation of Gaussian mixture models
Aya Watanabe, Shinnosuke Takamichi, Yuki Saito +2
In this paper, we propose a method for intermediating multiple speakers' attributes and diversifying their voice characteristics in ``speaker generation,'' an emerging task that ai…
