Effects of the piriform fossae, transvelar acoustic coupling, and laryngeal wall vibration on the naturalness of articulatory speech synthesis

P Birkholz, S Drechsel - Speech Communication, 2021 - Elsevier
Acoustic models of the vocal tract for articulatory speech synthesis often neglect a range of
acoustic effects that are known to exist in the human vocal tract. Here we extended a basic …
