Perceptual Continuity and Naturalness of Expressive Strength in Singing Voice based on Speech Morphing
This paper experimentally shows the importance of perceptual continuity of the expressive strength in vocal timbre for natural change in vocal expression. In order to synthesize various and continuous expressive strengths with vocal timbre, we investigated gradually changing expressions by applying the STRAIGHT speech-morphing algorithm to singing voices. Here, a singing voice without expressio...
متن کاملHMM-based Mandarin Singing Voice Synthesis Using Tailored Synthesis Units and Question Sets
Fluency and continuity properties are essential in synthesizing a high quality singing voice. In order to synthesize a smooth and continuous singing voice, the Hidden Markov Model-based synthesis approach is employed in this study to construct a Mandarin singing voice synthesis system. The system is designed to generate Mandarin songs with arbitrary lyrics and melody in a certain pitch range. I...
متن کاملReal-time pitch modification system for speech and singing voice
A real-time pitch modification system has been developed. The implemented processing scheme is based on hybrid deterministic/stochastic decomposition of the signal and includes extraction of instantaneous pitch, pitch-synchronous time-frequency analysis, parametrical morphing and synthesis. The scheme provides high quality output with considerably high naturalness. The aim of the presentation i...
متن کاملGradually changing expression of singing voice based on morphing
We have developed a method for synthesizing a singing voice by gradually changing the musical expression based on speech morphing. This paper shows the advantages of this method in comparison with the approach of binary discrete transformation between two expressions, confirmed by statistical analyses of perception tests. In order to synthesize different expressional strengths of a singing voic...
متن کاملHandySinger: Expressive Singing Voice Morphing using Personified Hand-puppet Interface
The HandySinger system is a personified tool developed to naturally express a singing voice controlled by the gestures of a hand puppet. Assuming that a singing voice is a kind of musical expression, natural expressions of the singing voice are important for personification. We adopt a singing voice morphing algorithm that effectively smoothes out the strength of expressions delivered with a si...
