Voice Conversion Technology and its Application with Emotional Speech (Voice Conversion Technology and its Application with Emotional Speech)
Speech is the most used and natural way for people to communicate. The goal of a VC system is to determine a transformation that makes the speech of the source speaker sounds as it were uttered by the target speaker. The purpose of this project is to present a rule-based voice conversion system for emotion which is capable of converting neutral speech to emotional speech (i.e., angry, fear, happy, sad, surprise, etc.).
