| Abstract(in English) | For a spoken agent such as interactive robots, it is important to use a voice that fits the image of the agent in terms of familiarity and intelligibility. In this research, we prepared processed speech stimuli by an audio effect that increases the artificiality of voice with different degrees of processing, and images of agents with varying degree of human likeness were generated using Stable Diffusion. We conducted a subjective experiment in which subjects evaluated the degree of compatibility between the impressions of voice and agents images. As a result, it was found that there is a certain relationship between the human likeness of the image and the degree of processing the voice. |
