| Abstract(in English) | The ARX speech production model was used to extract voice source and vocal tract parameters from a Japanese speech, /aoiueoie/("say blue top" in English). The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) method was applied to separate formant trajectories of the speech signal into static and dynamic features. The perceptual contributions of static and dynamic vocal tract features to speaker individuality was quantitatively studied by systematically replacing the corresponding acoustic parameters extracted from three Japanese male utterances. Results of the experiments show that the static (average) characteristic of the vocal tract is a primary cue to speaker individuality. |
