A method and apparatus for modulating pitch and identifying gender of a
voice signal is provided. The voice modulation apparatus includes an LPC
analyzer for obtaining vocal track filter coefficients reflecting
characteristics of an input voice signal, a pitch detector for detecting
the pitch and the gender of the voice signal, a pitch modulator for
modulating the voice signal by applying a predetermined value to a
detected value from the pitch detector, and a coder for coding the input
signal from to LPC analyzer and to pitch modulator, and for outputting a
coded signal.
