Abstract
This specification describes a computer-implemented method of generating expressive speech audio for use in a video game. The method comprises receiving user-input text data and receiving prosody data obtained from user-input speech style data. The user-input text data is processed by a text encoder to generate a text feature embedding. A speech feature embedding is generated by an embedding converter based upon the text feature embedding. The prosody data is processing by a prosody encoder to generate a prosody feature embedding. A speech signal is generated by a speech decoder based upon the speech feature embedding and the prosody feature embedding.
