WHAT IS VOICE MORPHING ??
• Voice morphing is a technique for modifying a (source)
speaker's speech to sound as if it were spoken by a
different (target)speaker.
0<=constant<=1
• The pitch of a female speaker will be close to twice that of
the male speaker. In our example, the pitch of the male
speaker is141Hz and that of the female speaker is210Hz.
• So we need to develop some time stretching algorithm so
that we can implement pitch shifting. We obtain the
residue of the source signal and stretch it according to the
value of the const. The constant indicates what is the
position of morphed signal in between the source and
target.
• For example: if constant = 0.2, then the morphed signal will
be closer in pitch to the source signal and a value of 0.8 for
constant will result in a pitch that is closer to the target
signal.
HOW DO WE SHIFT THE PITCH ??
• Lots of normalizingproblems.
• Some applications require extensive sound libraries.
• Different languages require differentphonetics.
• It isvery seldom complete.
ADVANTAG ES
The approach we have adopted separates the sounds
intotwo forms:
1. Spectral envelope information
2. Pitch and voicinginformation.
Dynamic Time Warping
• Increased userinteraction.
