Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018146305A1] The present invention describes a method for modifying a sound signal, said method comprising: a step of obtaining time frames of the sound signal, in the frequency domain; for at least one time frame, applying a first transformation of the sound signal in the frequency domain, comprising: a step of extracting a spectral envelope of the sound signal for said at least one time frame; a step of calculating frequencies of formants of said spectral envelope; a step of modifying (350) the spectral envelope of the sound signal, the modification comprising application (351) of an increasing continuous transformation function of frequencies of the spectral envelope, parameterised by at least two frequencies of formants of the spectral envelope.
