Disentangling Pitch and Creak for Speaker Identity Preservation in Speech Synthesis
Frederik Rautenberg, Jana Wiechmann, Petra Wagner +1
We introduce a system capable of faithfully modifying the perceptual voice quality of creak while preserving the speaker's perceived identity. While it is well known that high crea…
Synthesizing speech with selected perceptual voice qualities - A case study with creaky voice
Frederik Rautenberg, Fritz Seebauer, Jana Wiechmann +3
The control of perceptual voice qualities in a text-to-speech (TTS) system is of interest for applications where unmanipu- lated and manipulated speech probes can serve to illustra…
Towards Frame-level Quality Predictions of Synthetic Speech
Michael Kuhlmann, Fritz Seebauer, Petra Wagner +1
While automatic subjective speech quality assessment has witnessed much progress, an open question is whether an automatic quality assessment at frame resolution is possible. This…
Speech Synthesis along Perceptual Voice Quality Dimensions
Frederik Rautenberg, Michael Kuhlmann, Fritz Seebauer +3
While expressive speech synthesis or voice conversion systems mainly focus on controlling or manipulating abstract prosodic characteristics of speech, such as emotion or accent, we…
On Feature Importance and Interpretability of Speaker Representations
Frederik Rautenberg, Michael Kuhlmann, Jana Wiechmann +3
Unsupervised speech disentanglement aims at separating fast varying from slowly varying components of a speech signal. In this contribution, we take a closer look at the embedding…
