Listener Judgments of Vocal Loudness and Effort in Continuous Speech

Cries and Whispers - Classification of Vocal Effort in Expressive Speech

The expansion of the video games industry raises innovative and challenging issues for speech technologies, e.g. the development of automatic content-based speech processing and speech recognition systems in the context of video games postproduction and voice casting. This paper presents a large-scale study on the classification of vocal effort in expressive speech for video games. Changes in v...

the analysis of the role of the speech acts theory in translating and dubbing hollywood films

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...

Individual Monitoring of Vocal Effort With Relative Fundamental Frequency: Relationships With Aerodynamics and Listener Perception.

PURPOSE The acoustic measure relative fundamental frequency (RFF) was investigated as a potential objective measure to track variations in vocal effort within and across individuals. METHOD Twelve speakers with healthy voices created purposeful modulations in their vocal effort during speech tasks. RFF and an aerodynamic measure of vocal effort, the ratio of sound pressure level to subglottal...

Automatic Detection of High Vocal Effort in Telephone Speech

A system is proposed for the automatic detection of high vocal effort in speech. The system is evaluated using both PCMcoded speech and AMR-coded telephone speech. In addition, the effect of far-end noise in the telephone conditions is studied using both matched-condition training and cases with additive noise mismatch. The proposed system is based on Bayesian classification of mel-frequency ce...
