ACOUSTIC AND BREATHING STUDY OF NATURE DOCUMENTARY NARRATION DUBBING

Abstract

This paper provides a further understanding of the acoustic characteristics and respiratory rhythmic patterns of speech articulation through a progressive comparison of the acoustic and respiratory characteristics of three speech genres: dubbing, dubbers reading, and ordinary people reading. At the acoustic level, the length and interval of rhyming phrases are flexible and variable when dubbing; the type of voice at the end of the rhyming phrase tends to migrate from the modal voice range to a creaky voice. At the respiratory level, they show more obvious differences in five dimensions: the number of resets of thoracic and abdominal breathing, the correlation between the length and amplitude of breathing resets and the slope of the inspiratory segment, the relationship between breathing resets and speech pauses, the overall stability of the thoracic breathing signal curve, and the characteristics of the thoracic and abdominal breathing signal trend.
