We propose SelfVC, a training strategy to iteratively improve a voice conversion model with self-synthesized examples. Previous efforts on voice conversion focus on factorizing speech into explicitly disentangled representations that…

Disentangling speaker and content attributes of a speech signal into separate latent representations followed by decoding the content with an exchanged speaker representation is a popular approach for voice conversion, which can be trained…
