Examples of re-synthesized speech using unchanged formants (Resynthesis). For each combination of voice sound source, i.e., LPC error, Phonation, Pulse Train, and De-emphasized Pulse Train, and formant algorithm, i.e., Burg, Robust, and Split-Levinson (SL). Single utterances of a female, mjd, and male, apr, speaker are used.

All audio files have been converted to MP3 format for storage efficiency.
