According to an embodiment, a speech synthesis apparatus includes a selecting unit configured to select speaker's parameters one by one for respective speakers and obtain a plurality of speakers' parameters, the speaker's parameters being prepared for respective pitch waveforms corresponding to speaker's speech sounds, the speaker's parameters including formant frequencies, formant phases, formant powers, and window functions concerning respective formants that are contained in the respective pitch waveforms. The apparatus includes a mapping unit configured to make formants correspond to each other between the plurality of speakers' parameters using a cost function based on the formant frequencies and the formant powers. The apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate an interpolated speaker's parameter by interpolating, at desired interpolation ratios, the formant frequencies, formant phases, formant powers, and window functions of formants which are made to correspond to each other.
