MBROLA based American English male voice for the festival speech
synthesis system. This voice provides a American English male voice using the MBROLA synthesis method. It uses a modified CMU lexicon for pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks. Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech. The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree. This voice can be activated via (voice_us2_mbrola) -Julian Assange <proff@iq.org>
