This archive contains expressive examples for 
Stone et al. - "Prospects of Articulatory Text-to-Speech Synthesis" (2019).

The samples were generated using VocalTractLab, a manually created 
gestural score and global, automatic manipulations at the articulatory level. 

File name							Articulatory/phonetic manipulation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
00_modal.wav						Baseline synthesis with default settings
01_pressed_voice.wav				Pressed phonation, elevated lung pressure
02_breathy_voice.wav				Breathy phonation
03_hyponasal.wav					Permanently closed velum
04_less_precise.wav					Higher f0 range, increased effort
05_high_pitch_offset_range.wav		Increased f0 offset, higher f0 range, 
									breathy phonation
