First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for matching voice characteristics of a disc jockey, said method comprising:
- receiving, by a sound characteristic estimator, a first segment of audio signal;
determining, by said sound characteristic estimator, a first set of sound characteristics from said first segment of audio signal;
receiving, by said sound characteristic estimator, a second segment of audio signal;
determining, by said sound characteristic estimator, a second set of sound characteristics from said second segment of audio signal; and
interpolating a voice characteristic transition for said disc jockey from said first set of sound characteristics to said second set of sound characteristics between a starting time and an ending time.

Abstract
A system and method for matching voice characteristics of a synthetic disc jockey are presented. A first segment of audio signal and a second segment of audio signal are received by a sound characteristic estimator. Corresponding first and second sets of sound characteristics are determined by the sound characteristic estimator. A voice characteristic transition for the disc jockey is interpolated from the first and second set of sound characteristics between a starting and an ending time.
