Two-mass models for speech synthesis

R. N. J. Veldhuis, I. J. M. Bogaert, N. J. C. Lous

It is shown how two-mass models for the vocal cords can be implemented efficiently with digital signal-processing techniques. This facilitates their use in speech-synthesis hardware. An example of such an implementation and the glottal pulses obtained with it are presented.
