This paper describes a source modeling method for hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis for improved naturalness. A speech corpus is rst decomposed into the glottal sou...

In voice analysis, the parameters estimation of a glottal model, an analytic description of the deterministic component of the glottal source, is a challenging question to assess ...
This paper introduces a HMM-based speech synthesis system which uses a new method for the Separation of Vocal-tract and LiljencrantsFant model plus Noise (SVLN). The glottal sourc...
A new method is proposed to jointly estimate the shape parameter of a glottal model and its time position in a voiced segment. We show that, the idea of phase flatness (or phase ...
