| Abstract(in English) | This study is a comparative survey of voice produced by a professional impersonator imitating a target speaker in order to explore possible perceptual factors of similarity of speaker characteristics. The results show that the mean pitch frequency (F0) of the impersonator is approximately 20Hz higher than the target speaker and the dynamics of the F0 contour of the two speakers is closely resemble. The DFT spectra of the speakers are quite similar in its shape and the first, third, and fourth formant frequencies. Moreover, the difference between the amplitude levels of the first harmonic (H1) and the second harmonic (H2), a measure of the glottal source characteristics, are close between the speakers. In contrast, the second formant frequency and syllable duration of the imitated voice differ from the target voice. |
