UCLA High-Speed Laryngeal Video and Audio

<h3>Introduction</h3><br> <p>UCLA High-Speed Laryngeal Video and Audio was developed by <a href="http://www.seas.ucla.edu/spapl/index.html">UCLA Speech Processing and Auditory Perception Laboratory</a> and is comprised of high-speed laryngeal video recordings of the vocal folds and synchronized audio recordings from nine subjects collected between April 2012 and April 2013. Speakers were asked to sustain the vowel /i/ for approximately ten seconds while holding voice quality, fundamental frequency, and loudness as steady as possible.</p><br> <p>In the field of speech production theory, data such as contained in this release may be used to study the relationship between vocal folds vibration and resulting voice quality.</p><br> <h3>Data</h3><br> <p>None of the subjects had a history of a voice disorder. There was no native language requirement for recruiting subjects; participants were native speakers of various languages, including English, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese Mandarin, Cantonese and German.</p><br> <p>Audio data is presented as 16kHz 16-bit flac and video is in avi format at 5 fps (frames per second).</p><br> <h3>Samples</h3><br> <p>Please view this <a href="desc/addenda/LDC2017V01.avi">video sample</a>&nbsp;and this <a href="desc/addenda/LDC2017V01.flac">audio sample</a>.</p><br> <h3>Updates</h3><br> <p>None at this time.</p></br> Portions © 2017 Abeer Alwan, © 2017 Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
