ABSTRACT:
A karaoke apparatus produces a karaoke accompaniment which accompanies a singing voice of a player. A memory device stores primary characteristics of a model vowel contained in a model voice. An input device collects an input singing voice of the player containing a pair of a lead consonant component and a subsequent vowel component. A separating device separates the lead consonant component and the subsequent vowel component from each other. An extracting device extracts secondary characteristics of the subsequent vowel component separated from the lead consonant component. A creating device creates a substitutive vowel component according to the primary characteristics and the secondary characteristics so that the separated subsequent vowel component is converted into the substitutive vowel component while modified by the model vowel. A synthesizing device combines the separated lead consonant component with the substitutive vowel component in place of the separated subsequent vowel component to synthesize an output singing voice of the player. An output device produces the output singing voice together with the karaoke accompaniment.
