Forensic Voice Comparison using Long term Fundamental Frequency in Male Australian English Speakers

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

This paper investigates the efficacy of fundamental frequency (F0) to discriminate between speakers for the purposes of likelihood ratio-based forensic voice comparison (FVC) in Australian English. The experimental results indicate that the usefulness of F0 as an FVC feature in English is comparable with that of other languages. The results also indicate that registers (e.g. formal and casual) may differently contribute to the performance of the FVC system.
