Resonator-based creaky voice detection
Creaky voice is used by speakers for a variety of interactive, expressive and stylistic reasons. As a result the accurate detection of creaky regions in speech can yield important information not captured within the propositional content of spoken utterances. Hence, we describe a new method for automatically detecting creaky regions following the observation that secondary peaks occur in the li...
متن کاملHMM-based synthesis of creaky voice
Creaky voice, also referred to as vocal fry, is a voice quality frequently produced in many languages, in both read and conversational speech. To enhance the naturalness of speech synthesis, these latter should be able to generate speech in all its expressive diversity, including creaky voice. The present study looks to exploit our recent developments, including creaky voice detection, predicti...
متن کاملCreaky voice and the classification of affect
Creaky voice, a phonation type involving a low frequency and often highly irregular vocal fold vibration, has the potential both to indicate emotion and to confuse automatic processing algorithms, making it both friend and enemy to emotion recognition systems. This paper explores the effect of creak on affect classification performance using hidden Markov models (HMMs) trained on a variety of v...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of creaky voice using epoch parameters
This paper proposes a method based on epoch parameters for detection of creaky voice in speech signal. The epoch parameters characterizing the source of excitation considered in this work are number of epochs in a frame, strength of excitation of epochs and epoch intervals. Analysis of epoch parameters estimated from zero-frequency filtering method with different window sizes is carried out. Di...
متن کاملThe Role of Creaky Voice in Cantonese Tonal Perception
There are few studies on the role of phonation cues in the perception of lexical tones in tonal languages where pitch is the primary dimension of contrast. This study shows that listeners are sensitive to creaky phonation in native tonal perception in Cantonese, a language in which the low falling tone, Tone 4, has anecdotally been reported to be sometimes creaky. First, in a multi-speaker corp...
