Abstract: In recent years, natural and highly accurate outputs in domain transfer tasks have been achieved by deep learning techniques. Especially, the advent of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has enabled the transfer of objects between unspecified domains. Voice conversion is a popular example of speech domain transfer, which can be paraphrased as domain transfer of speakers. However, most of the voice conversion studies have focused only on transforming the identities of speakers. Understanding other nuances in the voice is necessary for natural speech synthesis. To resolve this issue, we transform the emotions in speech by the most promising GAN model, CycleGAN. In particular, we investigate the usefulness of speech with low emotional intensity as training data. Such speeches are found to be useful when the training data contained multiple speakers.
