Zusammenfassung:	A voice synthesis apparatus is provided. The voice synthesis apparatus includes: an electrode array configured to, in response to voiceless speeches of a user, detect an electromyogram (EMG) signal from skin of the user; a speech activity detection module configured to detect a voiceless speech period of the user; a feature extractor configured to extract a signal descriptor indicating a feature of the EMG signal for the voiceless speech period; and a voice synthesizer configured to synthesize speeches by using the extracted signal descriptor.
