title: Exploring synthetic data for cross-speaker style transfer in style representation based TTS
summary: Incorporating cross-speaker style transfer in text-to-speech (TTS) models is
challenging due to the need to disentangle speaker and style information in
audio. In low-resource expressive data scenarios, voice conversion (VC) can
generate expressive speech for target speakers, which can then be used to train
the TTS model. However, the quality and style transfer ability of the VC model
are crucial for the overall TTS model quality. In this work, we explore the use
of synthetic data generated by a VC model to assist the TTS model in
cross-speaker style transfer tasks. Additionally, we employ pre-training of the
style encoder using timbre perturbation and prototypical angular loss to
mitigate speaker leakage. Our results show that using VC synthetic data can
improve the naturalness and speaker similarity of TTS in cross-speaker
scenarios. Furthermore, we extend this approach to a cross-language scenario,
enhancing accent transfer.
