Real-Time Voice Timbre Style Transform

Abstract:

Transforming a voice of a speaker to a reference timbre includes converting a first portion of a source signal of the voice of the speaker into a time-frequency domain to obtain a time-frequency signal; obtaining frequency bin means of magnitudes over time of the time-frequency signal; converting the frequency bin magnitude means into a Bark domain to obtain a source frequency response curve (SR), where SR(i) corresponds to magnitude mean of the i.sup.th frequency bin; obtaining respective gains of frequency bins of the Bark domain with respect to a reference frequency response curve (Rf); obtaining equalizer parameters using the respective gains of the frequency bins of the Bark domain; and transforming the first portion to the reference timbre using the equalizer parameters.
