摘要
A novel approach for voice conversion is proposed which uses STRAIGHT analysis/synthesis arithmetic to analyze and synthesize speech. UBM-GMM is adopted and the speaker characters are described by the parameters of GMM. Consequently the amount of the target speaker training dataset is reduced. The transformation function based on GMM is also modified and the parallel corpus is successfully avoided then, along with an improvement in the flexibility of the function to the character parameters.
