Tuning fundamental frequency and mode of phonation in a vowel synthesis model


An existing computational model for production of glottal pulses corresponding to human speech sounds has been adapted for use with magnetic resonance imaging data of various vocal tract configurations. In this talk, particular attention is given to methods for tuning this model to produce output pulses that match a target fundamental frequency and mode of phonation.
