Abstract
A speech model includes a sub-model corresponding to a vocal attribute. The speech model generates an output waveform using a sample model, which receives text data, and a conditioning model, which receives text metadata and produces a prosody output for use by the sample model. If, during training or runtime, a different vocal attribute is desired or needed, the sub-model is re-trained or switched to a different sub-model corresponding to the different vocal attribute.
