You might have luck calling around to universities: There are likely dozens, probably even hundreds of projects like these. The audiology type departments might be a good place to start and there would probably be professors and assistants happy to nerd out about this kind of stuff.
Good luck and be sure to share your progress, sounds fun!
No need to call, I'm sure there are plenty of papers published if you use Google scholar or similar.
There are, but there's no harm in calling or e-mailing: It could be the start of a collaboration.
I am planning to build a simple human voice synth, but I couldn’t find much on the internet.
Wikipedia has a pretty good overview:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_synthesis#Synthesizer_technologies
Basically there are unit synthesis approaches (adding together lots of little sound files) and signal-based approaches. I think you want the signal-based approaches, so read that page, find the right terms, then go to scholar.google.com and search for the right terms plus "overview" or plus "toolkit".
