  Splice out the voiced plosive “b” in theword “be” and synthesize aword with an increase in the voice onset time of the “b.” What is the perceptual effect? Is it possible to transform the voiced plosive “b” to the unvoiced plosive “p” with this change in the voiced onset time? Consider attributes such as vocal cord vibration and aspiration. (In splicing, display the waveform and spectrogram of the word “be” and use the MATLAB function ginput.m.) Optional: If your transformed sound does not sound like a “p” then, again considering vocal cord vibration and aspiration, make a more accurate transformation.
