Abstract
This specification describes systems and methods for aging voice audio, in particular voice audio in computer games. According to one aspect of this specification, there is described a method for aging speech audio data. The method comprises: inputting an initial audio signal and an age embedding into a machine-learned age convertor model, wherein: the initial audio signal comprises speech audio; and the age embedding is based on an age classification of a plurality of speech audio samples of subjects in a target age category; processing, by the machine-learned age convertor model, the initial audio signal and the age embedding to generate an age-altered audio signal, wherein the age-altered audio signal corresponds to a version of the initial audio signal in the target age category; and outputting, from the machine-learned age convertor model, the age-altered audio signal.
