Comparison of time and frequency domain measures of the voice source
(2019)Voice source modulation is of fundamental importance in speech communication. Many parameters have been proposed to capture the characteristics of the voice, but it is not always clear how the different kinds of parameters ... -
Cross-speaker variation in voice source correlates of focus and deaccentuation
(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 ... -
GlóRí - the Glottal Research Instrument
(2014)This papers presents GlóRí - the glottal research instrument. GlóRí is a speech analysis interface which offers a flexibility and multiplicity of approaches to voice analysis. The system allows for fully automatic ... -
GlóRí - the glottal research instrument
(2014)This papers presents GlóRí - the glottal research instrument. GlóRí is a speech analysis interface which offers a flexibility and multiplicity of approaches to voice analysis. The system allows for fully automatic processing, ... -
The interaction of long-term voice quality with the realisation of focus
(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 ... -
The LF Model in the Frequency Domain for Glottal Airflow Modelling without Aliasing Distortion
(2021)Many of the commonly used voice source models are based on piecewise elementary functions defined in the time domain. The discrete-time implementation of such models generally causes aliasing distortion, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Using phonetic feature extraction to determine optimal speech regions for maximising the effectiveness of glottal source analysis
(2013)Parameterisation of the glottal source has become increasingly useful for speech technology. For many applications it may be desirable to restrict the glottal source feature data to only speech regions where it can be ... -
Voice parameter dynamics in portrayed emotions
(Firenze University Press, 2009)This paper is concerned with voice source variation associated with different emotional portrayals of an utterance: bored, sad, happy, surprised, angry and neutral. The source analyses involved pulse-by-pulse inverse ... -
The voice prominence hypothesis: the interplay of F0 and voice source features in accentuation
(2013)This paper explores the interplay of source correlates of accentuation, examining a hypothesis (the Voice Prominence Hypothesis) that different source parameters are involved and may serve as equivalent. It predicts that ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
(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 ...
