Modeling Consonant-Vowel Coarticulation for Articulatory Speech Synthesis
TL;DR: A method to simulate the context-sensitive articulation of consonants in consonant-vowel syllables using a weighted average of three measured and acoustically-optimized reference vocal tract shapes for that consonant in the context of the corner vowels.

TL;DR: A novel 3D vocal tract model and a method to control the articulatory movements of the model, an integral part of a complete articulatory speech synthesizer for high quality synthesis.
Human vocal attractiveness as signaled by body size projection.
TL;DR: Human listeners are presented with acoustically altered natural sentences and fully synthetic sentences with systematically manipulated pitch, formants and voice quality based on a principle of body size projection reported for animal calls and emotional human vocal expressions to indicate that humans still employ a vocal interaction strategy used in animal calls despite the development of complex language.

Simulation of Losses Due to Turbulence in the Time-Varying Vocal System
TL;DR: This paper highlights discontinuity problems of this simplified loss treatment when the constriction location changes during dynamic articulation and presents a solution based on a more realistic distributed consideration of fluid dynamic pressure changes.

TL;DR: The results indicate a gender specific processing for male and female voices on a behavioral and neuronal level and suggest that the results reflect higher sensitivity probably due to the evolutionary relevance of voice perception in mate selection.
