[origin: WO2005106853A1] A method for converting a voice signal from a source speaker into a converted voice signal with acoustic characteristics similar to those of a target speaker includes the steps of determining (1) at least one function for transforming source speaker acoustic characteristics into acoustic characteristics similar to those of the target speaker using target and source speaker voice samples; and transforming acoustic characteristics of the source speaker voice signal to be converted by applying said transformation function(s). The method is characterised in that said transformation (2) includes the step (44) of applying only a predetermined portion of at least one transformation function to said signal to be converted.
