Abstract : pThe objective of this thesis is to address the issues in the analysis, estimation and incor-poration of prosodic parameters for neutral to expressive speech conversion. The prosodicnbsp;parameters like instantaneous pitch, duration and strength of excitation are used as thenbsp;expression dependent parameters. For the expressive speech analysis, refinements in thenbsp;conventional methods are proposed to accurately estimate the prosodic parameters fromnbsp;different expressions. The variations in the prosodic parameters for different expressions/p
