Annotation
Spectral and prosodic modifications for emotional speech synthesis using harmonic modelling are described. Autoregressive parameterization of inverse Fourier transformed log spectral envelope is used. Spectral flatness determines the voicing transition frequency dividing spectrum of synthesized speech into minimum phases and random phases of the harmonic model. Female emotional voice conversion is evaluated by a listening test.
