| contents | This paper focuses on adapting the functionalities of the FastPitch model to the Romanian language; extending the set of speakers from one to eighteen; synthesising speech using an anonymous identity; and replicating the identities of new, unseen speakers. During this work, the effects of various configurations and training strategies were tested and discussed, along with their advantages and weaknesses. Finally, we settled on a new configuration, built on top of the FastPitch architecture, capable of producing natural speech synthesis, for both known (identities from the training dataset) and unknown (identities learnt through short reference samples) speakers. The anonymous speaker can be used for text-to-speech synthesis, if one wants to cancel out the identity information while keeping the semantic content whole and clear. At last, we discussed possible limitations of our work, which will form the basis for future investigations and advancements. |
