Abstract

For the Large Corpus based TTS the consistency of the speech corpus is very important. It is because the inconsistency of the speech quality in the corpus may result in a distortion at the concatenation point. And because of this inconsistency, large corpus must be tuned repeatedly One of the reasons for the inconsistency of the speech corpus is the different glottal characteristics of the speech sentence in the corpus. In this paper, we adjusted the glottal characteristics of the speech in the corpus to prevent this distortion. And the experimental results are showed.
