Cross-speaker variation in voice source correlates of focus and deaccentuation
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2017)This paper describes cross-speaker variation in the voice source correlates of focal accentuation and deaccentuation. A set of utterances with varied narrow focus placement as well as broad focus and deaccented renditions ... -
The interaction of long-term voice quality with the realisation of focus
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2016)Voice quality shifts have been shown to be associated with the realisation of accent, focus and deaccentuation. Mostly, accented and focally accented syllables are reported to exhibit a tenser mode of phonation than the ... -
Mapping Voice to Affect: Japanese listeners
GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (ISCA, 2006)This paper reports the results of perception tests administered to speakers of Japanese as part of a cross-language investigation of how voice quality and f0 combine in the signalling of affect. Three types of synthesised ... -
Phonetic feature extraction for context-sensitive glottal source processing
GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2014)The effectiveness of glottal source analysis is known to be dependent on the phonetic properties of its concomitant supraglottal features. Phonetic classes like nasals and fricatives are particularly problematic. Their ... -
The relationship between voice source parameters and the Maxima Dispersion Quotient (MDQ)
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2015) -
Transformation of LF parameters for speech synthesis of emotion: regression trees
GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (ISCA, 2008)This paper outlines an approach to modelling the dynamics of voice source parameters as observed in the analysis of emotional portrayals, by a male speaker of Hiberno-English. The emotions portrayed were happy, angry, ... -
Voice quality and f0 cues for affect expression: implications for synthesis
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2005)Synthesised stimuli were used to investigate how two notionally separable dimensions of tone-of-voice ? voice quality and fundamental frequency ? are involved in the expression of affect. Listeners were presented with ... -
Voice quality and loudness in affect perception
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2008)Different voice qualities tend to vary in terms of their intrinsic loudness. Perceptual experiments have shown that voice quality variation can be strongly associated with the affective colouring of an utterance. The ... -
Voice quality in affect cueing: does loudness matter?
GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2013)In emotional speech research, it has been suggested that loudness, along with other prosodic features, may be an important cue in communicating high activation affects. In earlier studies, we found different voice quality ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ...
