Call for
participation to the evaluation of speaking style adaptation for
expressive speech synthesis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This study aims at
evaluating speaking style adaptation in speech synthesis.
Abstract: Each speaker has his own speaking style which constitutes his voice signature, and a part of his identity. Nevertheless, a speaker continuously adapt his speaking style according to specific communication situations. Or, each situational context determines a specific mode of production associated with it - a genre - which is defined by a set of conventions of form and content that is shared among all of its productions. In particular, a specific discourse genre relate to a specific speaking style. The experiment is open to anyone and will be closed on 2011, February 1st. To process the experiment, please follow the link: http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/analyse-synthese/obin/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpeakingStyleAdaptation Thank you for your participation !! ----------------------------------------------
