| Abstract(in English) | A series of perceptual experiments of morphed emotional speech sounds were conducted based on a high-quality speech modification procedure STRAIGHT extended to enable auditory morphing. The test results indicated that naturalness of morphed speech samples were comparable to natural speech samples and resynthesized samples without any modifications when interpolated. It also indicated that the proposed morphing procedure enables to provide stimulus continuum between different emotional expressions. Partial morphing tests were also conducted to evaluate relative contributions and interdependence between spectral, temporal and source parameters. |
