Reshaping the transformed LF model: generating the glottal source from the waveshape parameter Rd
(2017)
Precise specification of the voice source would facilitate better modelling of expressive nuances in human spoken interaction. This paper focuses on the transformed version of the widely used LF voice source model, and ...
Rd as a control parameter to explore affective correlates of the tense-lax continuum
(2017)
This study uses the Rd glottal waveshape parameter to simulate the phonatory tense-lax continuum and to explore its affective correlates in terms of activation and valence. Based on a natural utterance which was inverse ...
A system for generating voice source signals that implements the transformed LF-model parameter control
(2023)
This paper describes a system which fully implements the
transformed LF glottal flow model, incorporating also the
often-overlooked k-factors. A problem with the original
proposal is that the global waveshape parameter ...
Time- and amplitude-based voice source correlates of emotional portrayals
(Springer, 2007)
A detailed analysis of glottal source parameters is presented for emotional portrayals which included both low and high activation states: neutral, bored, sad, and happy, surprised, angry. Time- and amplitude-based glottal ...
The role of voice quality in the perception of prominence in synthetic speech
(2019)
This paper explores how prominence can be modelled in speech synthesis through voice quality variation. Synthetic
utterances varying in voice quality (breathy, modal, tense) were generated using a glottal source model ...
Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)
paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ...
Global waveshape parameter Rd in signaling focal prominence: Perceptual salience in the absence of f0 variation
(2022)
This paper explores perceptual salience of voice source parameter manipulation in signaling prominence in the absence of f0 variation. Synthetic stimuli were generated based on an inverse filtered all-voiced utterance “We ...
Integrating a voice analysis-synthesis system with a TTS framework for controlling affect and speaker identity
(2021)
This paper reports an experiment exploring how a voice analysis-synthesis system, GlórCáil, can be used to add expressiveness to the synthetic voice in text-to-speech (TTS) systems. This implementation focuses on the Irish ...
Prosody of voice: declination, sentence mode and interaction with prominence
(2015)
This paper looks at voice source correlates of decli-
nation. This follows a line of research that proposes
that prosody is primarily signalled by the temporal
modulation of the voice source, and not just F0. In-
verse ...
Universal and language-specific perception of affect from voice
(2011)
This paper outlines the general results of a cross-language study of perception of affect from voice. The study aims to clarify how variations in voice quality (in synthesized stimuli) can evoke different affective coloring ...
