The physical production of speech level dynamic range is directly affected by the physiological features speaker such as vocal tract size and lung capacity; however, regulation these systems perception communication environment auditory feedback. current study examined effects room acoustics in an artificial setting on voice terms sound pressure relationship with perceived comfort control.

Effective pitch-range normalization is important to uncover intended linguistic pitch targets in continuous speech. Our previous study demonstrated that voice quality plays a role in pitch-range perception: “tense voice”, implemented as stimuli with spectral balance tilted towards higher frequency, was perceived as higher in pitch. This psychoacoustic effect is consistent with the co-variation ...

This article discusses the differences between children's voices and adult voices. We give an overview of the anatomy in the head and neck and specifically the anatomy of the respiratory system and the larynx. We also describe the development of children's voices including different physiological measures and voice quality. The development and consequences for voice production and voice quality...

A Real-time Voice Transformation Technology and its applications are presented in this article. The technology allows the transformation of the human voice, such as changing gender from male to female, or transforming a teenager to an old woman. More exotic transformations are also possible, for instance robotizing the voice or giving the voice an alien character as if it was taken from a scien...

Voice inverse filtering is a process in which the effects of the vocal tract are cancelled from the speech signal to estimate the airflow through the glottis. Although inverse filtering has many applications in both research and clinical examination of voice production, few voice inverse filtering software packages exist. In the present paper, we propose a flexible software package, HUT Voice S...
