Child-Centric Voice Anonymization in Single and Multi-Speaker Speech via Domain-Adapted SSL Models

arXiv:2606.29897v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Voice anonymization aims to protect speaker identity while preserving linguistic content and speech usability. However, most anonymization systems are developed on adult speech, leading to degraded performance when applied to child speech. This paper investigates child-centric anonymization by adapting a self-supervised learning (SSL) based anonymization pipeline to the child speech domain. The system is adapted using child speech from the MyST corpus and evaluated under both single-speaker and two-speaker mixture conditions. Experimental resul
