contents Attribute control in generative tasks aims to modify personal attributes, such as age and gender while preserving the identity information in the source sample. Although significant progress has been made in controlling facial attributes in image generation, similar approaches for speech generation remain largely unexplored. This letter proposes a novel method for controlling speaker attributes in speech without parallel data. Our approach consists of two main components: a GAN-based speaker representation variational autoencoder that extracts speaker identity and attributes from speaker vector, and a two-stage voice conversion model that captures the natural expression of speaker attributes in speech. Experimental results show that our proposed method not only achieves attribute control at the speaker representation level but also enables manipulation of the speaker age and gender at the speech level while preserving speech quality and speaker identity.
