| Abstract(in English) | We have already reported that introduceing a nonlinear term into formant energy dumping of formant type synthesizer improves speech quality. This nonlinear term is expected to be effective for improving naturalness and idiosyncrasy of speech quality. In this paper, we have tried to classify the nonlinear functions into several patterns based on the analysis of five vowels spoken by 10 speakers. The results show that this model is plausible. |
