Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project explored physical basis of diversity of voice quality using observation methods and computational acoustics that the project members have developed. This project achieved the followings; (1) The three-dimensional (3D) shape and movements of the speech organs were measured by an MRI scanner using a synchronized sampling method during continuous speaking and a database for 11 adults was constructed. (2) A tongue model was developed based on the database. (3) The acoustic characteristics of the nasal and paranasal cavities, which contribute largely to the voice quality, were investigated by an acoustic measurement method and a numerical acoustic analysis method. (4) The vocal tract of a professional voice impersonator and three voice actors were measured and analyzed. (5) The five-degrees-of-freedom sensors of an electromagnetic articulography system was improved to reduce interference in articulation. The proposed sensors have been made available commercially.
