Adaptation of an Expressive Single Speaker Deep Neural Network Speech Synthesis System

Jonathan Parker, Yannis Stylianou, Roberto Cipolla

ICASSP 2018accepted

One of the advantages of statistical parametric speech synthesis is the ability to alter some of the characteristics of the speech e.g. change the speaker, expression etc. In this paper we present a technique to adapt an expressive single speaker deep neural network (DNN) speech synthesis model to a…

Expressive visual text to speech and expression adaptation using deep neural networks

Jonathan Parker, Ranniery Maia, Yannis Stylianou, Roberto Cipolla

ICASSP 2017accepted

In this paper, we present an expressive visual text to speech system (VTTS) based on a deep neural network (DNN). Given an input text sentence and a set of expression tags, the VTTS is able to produce not only the audio speech, but also the accompanying facial movements. The expressions can either b…
