There is provided a speech synthesis system and method with an adjustable utterance length. The speech synthesis method according to an embodiment predicts a duration of each phoneme corresponding to a speech mask from the speech mask and a text to be synthesized with the speech mask, encodes the text to be synthesized and extracts a text sequence which is expressed by feature information of the text, generates a speech frame sequence by regulating a length of each phoneme of the text sequence according to the predicted duration of each phoneme corresponding to the speech mask, and synthesizes a speech from the generated speech frame sequence.
