Abstract
A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for converting a singing voice of a first person associated with a first speaker to a singing voice of a second person using a speaking voice of the second person associated with a second speaker. A context associated with one or more phonemes corresponding to the singing voice of a first person is encoded, and the one or more phonemes are aligned to one or more target acoustic frames based on the encoded context. One or more mel-spectrogram features are recursively generated from the aligned phonemes, the target acoustic frames, and a sample of the speaking voice of the second person. A sample corresponding to the singing voice of a first person is converted to a sample corresponding to the second singing voice using the generated mel-spectrogram features.
