Abstract

Voice conversion is to generate a new speech with the source content and a target voice style. In this paper, we focus on one general setting, i.e., non-parallel many-to-many voice conversion, which is close to the real-world scenario. As the name implies, non-parallel many-to-many voice conversion does not require the paired source and reference speeches and can be applied to arbitrary voice transfer. In recent years, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and other techniques such as Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAEs) have made considerable progress in this field. However, due to the sophistication of voice conversion, the style similarity of the converted speech is still unsatisfactory. Inspired by the inherent structure of mel-spectrogram, we propose a new voice conversion framework, i.e., Subband-based Generative Adversarial Network for Voice Conversion (SGAN-VC). SGAN-VC converts each subband content of the source speech separately by explicitly utilizing the spatial ch
