Perceptual evaluations of voice scatter in unison choir sounds.
The preferences of experiences listerners for pitch and formant frequency dispersion in unison choir sounds were explored using synthesized stimuli. Two types of dispersion were investigated: (a) pitch scatter, which arises when voices in an ensemble exhibit small differences in mean fundamental frequency, and (b) spectral smear, defined as such dispersion of formants 3 to 5 as arises from diff...
متن کاملAcoustic comparison of voice use in solo and choir singing.
An experiment was carried out in which eight bass/baritone singers were recorded while singing in both choral and solo modes. Together with their own voice, they heard the sound of the rest of the choir and a piano accompaniment, respectively. The recordings were analyzed in several ways, including computation of long-time-average spectra for each passage, analysis of the sound levels in the fr...
متن کاملAdaptive Training for Voice Conversion Based on Eigenvoices
In this paper, we describe a novel model training method for one-to-many eigenvoice conversion (EVC). One-to-many EVC is a technique for converting a specific source speaker’s voice into an arbitrary target speaker’s voice. An eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model (EVGMM) is trained in advance using multiple parallel data sets consisting of utterance-pairs of the source speaker and many pre-stored ...
متن کاملDirect Expressive Voice Training Based on Semantic Selection
This work aims at creating expressive voices from audiobooks using semantic selection. First, for each utterance of the audiobook an acoustic feature vector is extracted, including iVectors built on MFCC and on F0 basis. Then, the transcription is projected into a semantic vector space. A seed utterance is projected to the semantic vector space and the N nearest neighbors are selected. The sele...
متن کاملImpact of Choir Singing in Elderly on Depression Symptoms and Voice Quality
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to verify possible changes in depression and vocal quality in older-adults who engaged in a two-year choir singing activity. Methods: This study has a longitudinal and experimental design. The study group consisted of older-adults, 8 males and 36 females, ranging from 60 to 80 years of age, with an average of 67 years. Depression symptoms and voice quality ...
