Question

Is there a way I can change the pitch from a sentence to a question?

I generated an audio file from Synthesia, an AI audio platform. I noticed that their AI system is not able to create questions. The AI model just pronounces the words as a sentence. Is there a way I can change the pitch from a sentence to a question? I've checked some tutorials about Manual Pitch Correction and Pitch Bender but either it doesn't sound like a question or it changes the voice altogether. 

 

Please see the file attached. when she says"about it" it sounds like an end of a sentence, not a question.

The reason that you can't do this is that it's a matter of rather more than just pitch that alters, and the things that alter are mainly within a word, and quite subtle. Somehow you'd have to change the inner inflexion of the last two words (at least) before you would even get close. I think that would take rather more than Audition's pitch change algorithm. I tried your sample, and whatever you do, it doesn't transform it at all apart from to make it sound rather silly!

Just for the heck of it, I tried this in Voicemaker. If you type 'can I ask you a question' it comes out as a flat statement - but if you include a ? at the end, it does indeed make it sound like a question - and it alters quite a bit. Did you actually include a question mark when you tried this in Synthesia? If you did and it ignores it, I suspect you might want some slightly more advanced software...

Hi Steve, yes, I did. I even talked to their support and gave feedback because this is a very important feature to have. it might sound silly but I've seen quite a few videos of people making songs with statements, changing the pitch and the tone of voice just like the video below. I wish Audition could have a similar feature.
