Abstract

The paper presents an original method of synchronous recording the glottal wave and an output speech signal. The method was employed to obtain the experimental material. The recordings of 3 male and 3 female subjects were performed. The recording of each subject was 15 minutes long and included isolated vowels and words. The auditory analysis, perceptual experiments and acoustic analysis were carried out. The transfer functions of the articulation for the Russian vowels were obtained. The transfer functions and voice source signals of different vowels were used to generate new signals. The obtained signals were analyzed. The constructed model of the filter part of the vocal tract completely corresponds to the basic phonetic laws. It adds the accuracy to the existing models of the speech production and can be used for solving specific problems of speech technologies.
