1. A method of identifying a sequence of vocal tract resonance (VTR) distributions for a sequence of phonetic units, the method comprising:
identifying a sequence of target distributions for a VTR; and
applying the sequence of target distributions to a finite impulse response filter to produce a sequence of VTR distributions,
utilizing the sequence of VTR distributions in a speech recognition process.
