Voice quality modelling for expressive speech synthesis

This paper presents the perceptual experiments that were carried out in order to validate the methodology of transforming expressive speech styles using voice quality (VoQ) parameters modelling, along with the well-known prosody (, duration, and energy), from a neutral style into a number of express...
