Towards synthesis of speaker age: A perceptual study with natural, synthesized and resynthesized stimuli.
(2003) Fonetik 2003 9. p.153-156- Abstract
- As a first step towards synthesis of speaker age the hypothesis that spectral
cues may be more important for age perception than F0 and duration was
tested in a pilot listening experiment with male speaker stimuli consisting of
natural, synthesized and resynthesized isolated words. Results indicate that
spectral information is dominant over pitch as cues for age. Slow speech rate
also seems to be an important cue for old age. The results will be used in
further research with a larger material in an attempt to model typical speaker
age using formant synthesis.
