A vocalidade poética do ator em seu processo de criação a partir de uma experimentação cômica

Assmann, André January 2015 (has links)
Esta pesquisa busca o estabelecimento de um processo de criação para o ator e a relação do artista com as possibilidades emanadas no instante do ato criador a partir de experiências notórias na sua prática cênica. O estudo oportuniza o entendimento de certos elementos necessários para a criação de uma vocalidade poética para o ator e sua interrelação com os princípios da comicidade oriundos do jogo cênico na concretização de um espetáculo solo. Esta vocalidade poética, motivadora da ação do ator, provoca um trabalho complexo de problematização entre o estudo das possibilidades do ator em cena e a maneira como ele se relaciona com as ações físicas e vocais geradas no processo de criação. / This research seeks to establish a creation process for the actor and the artist's relationship with the possibilities emanating from the moment of the creative act from notorious experiments in his stagecraft. The study provides an opportunity to understand certain elements needed to create a poetic voicing for the actor and its interrelation with the principles of humor coming from the scenic play in delivering a solo show. This poetic voicing, motivating actor's action, causes a complex job of questioning between the study of the actor on the scene and how it relates to the physical and vocal actions generated in the creation process.

An Ultrasonographic Observation of Saxophonists’ Tongue Positions While Producing Front F Pitch Bends

January 2016 (has links)
abstract: Voicing, as it pertains to saxophone pedagogy, presents certain obstacles to both teachers and students simply because we cannot visually assess the internal mechanics of the vocal tract. The teacher is then left to instruct based on subjective “feel” which can lead to conflicting instruction, and in some cases, misinformation. In an effort to expand the understanding and pedagogical resources available, ten subjects—comprised of graduate-level and professional-level saxophonists—performed varied pitch bend tasks while their tongue motion was imaged ultrasonographically and recorded. Tongue range of motion was measured from midsagittal tongue contours extracted from the ultrasound data using a superimposed polar grid. The results indicate variations in how saxophonists shape their tongues in order to produce pitch bends from F6. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2016

Aquisição da regra de assimilação de vozeamento em Português Brasileiro / The acquisition of the phonological process of voicing in Brazilian Portuguese

Cristiane Conceição Silva 26 March 2008 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a aquisição do processo fonológico de vozeamento em português brasileiro. Para isso, foram analisados tanto dados naturalísticos de uma criança acompanhada longitudinalmente de 1;4 anos até 4;0 anos, quanto dados experimentais/latitudinais de 46 crianças de 2;0 anos até 4;1 anos. Foi investigada a aquisição de /s,z/ na posição de onset (estudo naturalístico) e também a aquisição de [s,z] nas posições de coda medial e final em ambos os estudos. Verificamos que o período de aquisição dos segmentos na coda foram tardios, se comparados com os períodos encontrados na literatura (Mezzomo, 2003). Por isso, analisamos, também, a aquisição desses segmentos de acordo com o contexto seguinte: pausa, surdo e sonoro. Observamos que o contexto sonoro foi o mais difícil para as crianças, já que a aquisição ocorreu por volta de 4;0 anos. Além disso, analisamos as estratégias utilizadas pelas crianças durante o processo de aquisição e encontramos um padrão relacionado à produção inicial do segmento [s] mesmo em contextos em que a produção deveria ser sonora. Foi feita uma comparação dos resultados obtidos no contexto sonoro dos dois estudos (naturalístico e experimental) com o trabalho de Newton & Wells (2002) que analisa os processos de assimilação, elisão e liaision e constatamos, a partir da análise das ocorrências de vozeamento correto, pausa e outras realizações que o processo de vozeamento não surge assim que a criança começa a produzir sentenças com duas palavras e não está adquirido até os 4;0 anos (última faixa etária analisada). A partir desses resultados, concluímos que o processo de vozeamento é uma regra fonológica a ser adquirida e não um fenômeno apenas fonético (como mostraram os autores). Dado que o processo de vozeamento é uma regra fonológica, concluímos que a análise lingüística, feita a respeito do processo de vozeamento na fala do adulto, está correta ao assumir que a forma subjacente para a regra de vozeamento é o [s], pois também nos dados infantis percebemos uma tendência das crianças em produzir fricativas surdas e evitar a produção de fricativas sonoras. / This research aimed at analyzing the acquisition of the phonological process of voicing in Brazilian Portuguese. To do so, naturalistic data, longitudinally collected from a child since she was 1;4 until she became 4;0, as well as experimental data, latitudinally collected from 46 children from the age 2;0 to the age 4;1, were analyzed. In addition, the acquisition of /s z/ in onset position and in medial and final coda position were investigated in both studies. We observed that the period of segment acquisition was later in comparison to the ones mentioned in the literature ( Mezzomo, 2003). Therefore we also analyzed the acquisition of /s z/, taking into account the following context, that is to say, what there is after them: a pause, a voiceless or a voiced segment. We noticed that the most difficult context for children was the one that contained a voiced segment, since the acquisition of /z/ in coda position occurred only at the age of 4;0. Besides, we analyzed the strategies used by children during the acquisition period of the voicing process and, as a result, we found a pattern in relation to the initial productions: children start producing [s] even when [z] is expected to be produced. We also compared the results that we obtained through the investigation of voiced contexts in both the naturalistic and the experimental studies to Newton and Wells (2002)\'s work, in which the processes of assimilation, elision and liaision are analyzed. Differently from their results, our research showed that the voicing process does not occur as soon as children start producing sentences with two words, since it is not still acquired until the age of 4;0 (the last period analyzed). Based on these results, we concluded that the voicing process is a phonological rule that must be learnt by children and, consequently, it is not a mere phonetic phenomenon, as pointed by the authors. Also based on our results, we concluded that the linguistic analysis done for the adult speech is right when it assumes that [s] the underlying form to which the voicing rule is applied, since we noticed a tendency for children to produce the voiceless fricative [s] and avoid its voiced counterpart [z].

Taltolkning av hörande teckenspråksanvändare : En fokusgruppstudie med tolkar och hörande teckenspråkiga som tecknar i tolkade sammanhang / Voiceover of hearing signers : experiences from interpreters

Tesfazion, Malin January 2016 (has links)
Studien behandlar och beskriver dels hur tolkar upplever att taltolka hörande personer som använder teckenspråk, dels hur hörande personer som använder teckenspråk upplever att bli taltolkade. Två fokusgrupper fick berätta om sina erfarenheter av denna företeelse; teckenspråkstolkar i en grupp och hörande teckenspråkiga i en annan grupp. Genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys identifierades fem teman med de viktigaste aspekterna i frågan. Dessa teman var: 1. Hörandes val av språk i tolkade sammanhang 2. Strategier för att hantera att bli taltolkad 3. Tolkens språkliga utmaningar 4. Ett gott samarbete är avgörande 5. CEFR – självbedömning är svårt. Genom dessa teman framkom att taltolkning av hörande är ett komplext fenomen som kräver särskild hantering. Ett väl utarbetat samarbete är en stor fördel och underlättar tolkens arbete. Det krävs också god kännedom om anledningen till att hörande ibland väljer att teckna i tolkade sammanhang. Det gör att tolken kan slappna av och koncentrera sig på tolkuppdraget. God insikt hos hörande gällande sin teckenspråkskompetens är också eftersträvansvärt. Vanan av att bli taltolkad underlättar situationen eftersom hörande då utarbetar strategier för att tåla att parallellt med den egna produktionen höra taltolkningen. / This study examines interpreters’ experiences of interpreting hearing signers into spoken language and describes the phenomenon of being the hearing person who signs in these interpreted contexts. Two focus groups were given the chance to share their stories about the situation - one group of sign language interpreters and one group of hearing signers. Through content analysis five themes were identified concerning the most important aspects. 1. Hearing persons’ choice of language in an interpreted situation 2. Strategies to manage being interpreted into spoken language 3. The interpreters’ linguistic challenges 4. Good cooperation is vital 5. CEFR- self-evaluation is hard. These themes revealed that giving voice to hearing signers is a complex phenomenon requiring special management. Well developed cooperation is an advantage and facilitates the interpreters work. Good knowledge about the reasons why hearing signers choose to sign makes it easier for the interpreters to relax and concentrate on the task. Hearing people need to have good understanding of their language proficiency as well as being accustomed to and develop strategies for managing to hear the interpreters voice over.

Automatické jazzové aranžmá / Automatic jazz arrangement

Chadim, Petr January 2011 (has links)
This Thesis is focused on the arranging of the melody, which is accompanied by jazz chords. It deals with creating a more harmonious voices using Block Voicing method. Distribution to target notes and passing notes is made using techniques of constraint programming (CSP). Passing notes are reharmonized by dominant seventh chord or by parallel chord. Using CSP a bass part is also created. To solve CSP is used Gecode library. The harmonious voices are arranged by Four Part Close Voicing. The application result is a tool for the music arranger.

Masquage de pertes de paquets en voix sur IP / Packet loss concealment on voice over IP

Koenig, Lionel 28 January 2011 (has links)
Les communications téléphoniques en voix sur IP souffrent de la perte de paquets causée par les problèmes d'acheminement dus aux nœuds du réseau. La perte d'un paquet de voix induit la perte d'un segment de signal de parole (généralement 10ms par paquet perdu). Face à la grande diversité des codeurs de parole, nous nous sommes intéressés dans le cadre de cette thèse à proposer une méthode de masquage de pertes de paquets générique, indépendante du codeur de parole utilisé. Ainsi, le masquage de pertes de paquets est appliqué au niveau du signal de parole reconstruit, après décodage, s'affranchissant ainsi du codeur de parole. Le système proposé repose sur une modélisation classique de type « modèles de Markov cachés » afin de suivre l'évolution acoustique de la parole. À notre connaissance, une seule étude a proposé l'utilisation des modèles de Markov cachés dans ce cadre [4]. Toutefois, Rødbro a utilisé l'utilisation de deux modèles, l'un pour la parole voisée, l'autre pour les parties non voisées, posant ainsi le problème de la distinction voisée/non voisée. Dans notre approche, un seul modèle de Markov caché est mis en œuvre. Aux paramètres classiques (10 coefficients de prédiction linéaire dans le domaine cepstral (LPCC) et dérivées premières) nous avons adjoint un nouvel indicateur continu de voisement [1, 2]. La recherche du meilleur chemin avec observations manquantes conduit à une version modifiée de l'algorithme de Viterbi pour l'estimation de ces observations. Les différentes contributions (indice de voisement, décodage acoutico-phonétique et restitution du signal) de cette thèse sont évaluées [3] en terme de taux de sur et sous segmentation, taux de reconnaissance et distances entre l'observation attendue et l'observation estimée. Nous donnons une indication de la qualité de la parole au travers d'une mesure perceptuelle : le PESQ. / Packet loss due to misrouted or delayed packets in voice over IP leads to huge voice quality degradation. Packet loss concealment algorithms try to enhance the perceptive quality of the speech. The huge variety of vocoders leads us to propose a generic framework working directly on the speech signal available after decoding. The proposed system relies on one single "hidden Markov model" to model time evolution of acoustic features. An original indicator of continuous voicing is added to conventional parameters (Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients) in order to handle voiced/unvoiced sound. Finding the best path with missing observations leads to one major contribution: a modified version of the Viterbi algorithm tailored for estimating missing observations. All contributions are assessed using both perceptual criteria and objective metrics.
