Effect of unsteady glottal flow on the speech production process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the present study is to clarify the effects of unsteady glottal flow on the phonation. We numerically simulate the speech production process within the larynx and the vocal tract based on our proposed glottal sound source model. The simulation shows amplitude and waveform fluctuations in pressure within the larynx caused by unsteady fluid motion. In order to investigate the unsteady motion effects on the phonation, the coefficient of variation (CV) of amplitude and harmonicto-noise ratio (HNR) in terms of measures of fluctuations are estimated. The CV and the HNR indicate the greatest fluctuation near the glottis, although the CV and the HNR do not show the fluctuation faraway from the glottis.

A Numerical Experiment on Waveform Fluctuation within the Larynx
An analysis of fluctuations of speech wave, i.e., pitch, amplitude, and waveform, is a subject of growing interest for improvement in the quality of synthesized voice. However, little information with respect to the sound source itself in speech production is available, since it is difficult to measure fluid and acoustic motions within the larynx. The purpose of the present study is to clarify ...

Inverse filtering of oral airflow using closed-phase linear prediction is expected to preserve the effects of source-filter interactions in the glottal airflow pulse. Under incomplete glottal closure, the glottal airflow estimation is more challenging due to a lowered glottal impedance, increased subglottal coupling, and violated all-pole assumption. To account for these effects, a model-based ...
