MBROLA based American English male voice for the festival speech
synthesis system.
This voice provides a American English male voice using the MBROLA
synthesis method. It uses a modified CMU lexicon for pronunciations.
Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically trained model using
part of speech and local distribution of breaks. Intonation is
provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour
generated from a model trained from natural speech. The duration
model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
