Articulatory Speech Synthesis from the Fluid Dynamics of the Vocal Apparatus - Synthesis Lectures on Speech and Audio Processing Stephen Levinson

Addresses the problem of articulatory speech synthesis based on computed vocal tract geometries and the basic physics of sound production in it. Unlike conventional methods based on analysis/synthesis using the well-known source filter model, this volume treats the entire vocal apparatus as one mechanical system that produces sound by means of fluid dynamics.
