Voice source parameters are generally derived from time-domain inverse filtering. An effective system of parameterization is the LF model, which has been adopted for the authors' studies of voice source variations in connected speech. The effects of variations of the different LF parameters on the voice source spectrum are demonstrated. Dynamic variations within a linguistic frame and with respect to different speaker types are exemplified. The LF-model has been implemented in a text-to-speech system, and work on development of rules is progressing.>
