| Abstract(in English) | Emotional voice is essential for non-verbal communication between human and machine. Also emotional voice synthesizer can generate a new communication system to help man-man communication easier. To append emotional information to natural voice, it is very important to keep original voice quality, utterance contents and speaker information when modifying articulation information. In this paper, pitch control to vowel sequence is introduced and intonation is changed in a sillable unit. And also utterance speed and power are also controlled to append emotion information by using GUI tool. By this tool, emotional voice synthesis can be realized from neutral natural voice by keeping original voice quality. |
