| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | When one hears his/her recorded voices for the first time, s/he is probably surprised and not rarely disappointed at the differences of voice quality between the recorded voices and his/her own voices. In psychology, this phenomenon is called voice confrontation.Conversion from recorded voices of a speaker to his/her own voices was technically investigated in previous studies, and in the current study, we propose a novel framework for conversion. Here, four new ideas are introduced and tested technically:a) multiple pathways of in-body voice transmission from the oral cavity to the inner ear are taken into account for recording,b) body-conducted speech, not bone-conducted speech, is defined and simulated,c) a special device is prepared to avoid habituation effects in listening tests, and d) a network-based voice conversion technique is applied using a parallel corpus prepared by the above three steps. Experiments show that the proposed framework can generate one's own voices with higher quality, compared to a conventional method, even in cross-language contexts. |
