Exact Prosody Cloning in Zero-Shot Multispeaker Text-to-Speech. (arXiv:2206.12229v2 [cs.SD] UPDATED)

The cloning of a speaker's voice using an untranscribed reference sample is
one of the great advances of modern neural text-to-speech (TTS) methods.
Approaches for mimicking the prosody of a transcribed reference audio have also
been proposed recently. In this work, we bring these two tasks together for the
first time through utterance level normalization in conjunction with an
utterance level speaker embedding. We further introduce a lightweight aligner
for extracting fine-grained prosodic features, that can be finetuned on
individual …
