The Making of Sophia: Sophia's Singing Voice
Remember Sophia's duet with Jimmy Fallon? To create Sophia's singing voice Hanson Robotics joined up with CereProc, a text to speech (TTS) technology company that creates synthetic voices with character and personality.
The first step was for the woman who made the original recordings for Sophia’s voice to record a number of musical passages at a recording studio. CereProc then built a new database for singing synthesis and trained a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to reproduce the expression, contours, and timbre of the recorded passages.
The resulting model was then able to produce a sequence of musical notes combined with vocal phonemes, which form the sounds necessary to create human speech. To add an extra layer of richness, they used frequency and amplitude modulation to control the pitch and volume of Sophia’s voice, creating a natural-sounding vibrato that brings her performance to life.
