Abstract

Singing voice synthesis (SVS) is the computer production of a human-like singing voice from given musical scores. To accomplish end-to-end SVS effectively and efficiently, this work adopts the acoustic model-neural vocoder architecture established for high-quality speech and singing voice synthesis. Specifically, this work aims to pursue a higher level of expressiveness in synthesized voices by combining the diffusion denoising probabilistic model (DDPM) and *Wasserstein* generative adversarial network (WGAN) to construct the backbone of the acoustic model. On top of the proposed acoustic model, a HiFi-GAN neural vocoder is adopted with integrated fine-tuning to ensure optimal synthesis quality for the resulting end-to-end SVS system. This end-to-end system was evaluated with the multi-singer Mpop600 Mandarin singing voice dataset. In the experiments, the proposed system exhibits improvements over previous landmark counterparts in terms of musical expressiveness and high-frequency acou
