Speaker Identity and Recognition With contributions by Homa Asadi, Leah Bradshaw, Volker Dellwo, Alessandro De Luca, Sascha Frühholz, Alexis Hervais-Adelman, Elisa Pellegrino, Valeriia Perepeletsyia, and Claudia Roswandowitz |
Abstract: Voices are individual and voice individuality contributes to person recognition, two phenomena that are crucial in social interaction. In particular for highly familiar voices humans have extraordinary recognition skills. Given this situation, it may seem somehow counter-intuitive that voices within a speaker vary tremendously, to the degree that recognition performance can suffer strongly when a voice of a person is learned in a certain situation or style and should be recognised in another. In this one day workshop we bring together experts that work on voice communication, how voices emerge in humans, how they vary within and between speakers and we aim at finding answers to the question how individuals can communicate and be recognised despite the seemingly infinite variability in their voices.
