Voice Conversion With CycleRNN-Based Spectral Mapping and Finely Tuned WaveNet Vocoder

In this paper, we present a novel framework for a voice conversion (VC) system based on a cyclic recurrent neural network (CycleRNN) and a finely tuned WaveNet vocoder. Even though WaveNet is capable of producing natural speech waveforms when fed with natural speech features, it still suffers from s...
