Patent attributes
There is provided a singing synthesis parameter data estimation system that automatically estimates singing synthesis parameter data for automatically synthesizing a human-like singing voice from an audio signal of input singing voice. A pitch parameter estimating section 9 estimates a pitch parameter, by which the pitch feature of an audio signal of synthesized singing voice is got closer to the pitch feature of the audio signal of input singing voice based on at least both of the pitch feature and lyric data with specified syllable boundaries of the audio signal of input singing voice. A dynamics parameter estimating section 11 converts the dynamics feature of the audio signal of input singing voice to a relative value with respect to the dynamics feature of the audio signal of synthesized singing voice, and estimates a dynamics parameter, by which the dynamics feature of the audio signal of synthesized singing voice is got close to the dynamics feature of the audio signal of input singing voice that has been converted to the relative value.
