SID Open Seminar
- 9.00 - 11.00 - SID Open Seminar - ISon2010 Satellite Event - Voice and Voice Functions
Invited talk by Sten Ternström and Christine Ericsdotter
Abstract The voice as a sound generator The human voice is an extremely versatile machine for making sounds. As lifetime listeners and speakers, we are highly attuned to its possibilities and constraints. Everyday sounds are often imitated in conversation, and many sounds have found their way into words of spoken language. We will first review the basic anatomy of the voice organ, the ways in which the vocal mechanism is used to produce sound, and how these are categorised by phoneticians. Then, we will discuss and demonstrate different ways in which vocal sounds can be simulated by machines, as well as some standard techniques for machine recognition of voice sounds. Imitation is fun, and we are inherently skilled at deducing how other people produce most vocal sounds. But could a machine without a body learn to do the same? We look finally at the classic problem of acoustic-to-articulatory inversion: is it possible to deduce how a voice sound was produced, from the acoustic signal alone?
