During this presentation, voice transformation will be discussed as well as
various existing point of view of this research subject. First, some results
of my Ph.D. will be presented. The SVLN method, a signal model inspired from
voice production, will be described (Separation of the Vocal-tract with the
Liljencrants-Fant model + Noise). Examples of voice transformation and a
very
short contemporary composition using this voice model will be also
presented.
Then, I will shortly compare voice transformation technics in order to
discuss
the main issues of voice modeling for voice transformation and speech
synthesis.
Given this context, I will finally desribe the theme of my post-doc
research at UOC.

Abstract:
Bio:
Gilles Degottex received the Diploma degree in computer science in 2003 from
University of Neuchatel, Switzerland. After a one-year specialization in
signal
processing at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland, he
obtained
the Ph.D. degree (summa cum laude) at the Institut de Recherche et
Coordination
Acoustique/Musique (Ircam), Paris VI, in the Analysis/Synthesis Team.
His research
interests include fundamental frequency tracking for musical
instruments, parameter
estimation of glottal model and voice modeling for voice transformation
and speech synthesis.
