Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel voice conversion strategy to resolve the mismatch between the training and conversion scenarios when parallel speech corpus is unavailable for training. Based on auto-encoder and disentanglement frameworks, we design the proposed model to extract identity and content representations while reconstructing the input speech signal itself. Since we use other speaker's identity information in the training process, the training philosophy is naturally matched with the objective of voice conversion process. In addition, we effectively design the disentanglement framework to reliably preserve linguistic information and to enhance the quality of converted speech signals. The superiority of the proposed method is shown in subjective listening tests as well as objective measures.
