| Abstract(in English) | A computer software to learn English pronunciation aimed at effective presentations in English has been proposed. One of the primal objectives of this software is to transform the quality of the model voice signal of the native English speaker to the student’s voice signal in order that the students can learn how to make an effective English speech in natural English pronunciations. In this paper, we report the results of the experiments on the method to realize the natural voice quality transformations for the effective English speeches by employing the previously proposed voice transformation techniques. |
