Voice Conversion (VC) is a technique that aims to transform the non-linguistic information of a source utterance to change the perceived identity of the speaker. While there is a rich literature on VC, most proposed methods are trained and…

Zero-shot voice conversion is becoming an increasingly popular research topic, as it promises the ability to transform speech to sound like any speaker. However, relatively little work has been done on end-to-end methods for this task,…
