Abstract The goal of this project is to design and implement a software based singing synthesizer that sings like a soprano. It will only know about the 8 catalan vowels.

We have recorded and analyzed with SMS a soprano singing isolated vowel sounds at different pitches, pairs of notes and short melodies. From the analysis of isolated sounds, we have extracted the spectral characteristics of the 8 vowels. From the articulated phrases and pairs of notes we have studied the characteristics of the different types of articulations.

The input to the synthesizer will be a description of the melody to be sung and an SMS file that includes the spectral characteristics of the vocal sounds. The output will be a sound file.
