  - getUnitSelector
```
protected UtteranceProcessor getUnitSelector()
                                      throws java.io.IOException
```
    Returns the unit selector to be used by this voice. Derived voices typically override this to customize behaviors.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getUnitSelector in class CMUVoice
    
    Returns:
    
    the unit selector
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an IO error occurs while getting processor
  - getMbrolaCommand
```
protected java.lang.String[] getMbrolaCommand()
```
    Returns the command line that invokes the MBROLA executable. The command will be in the form of:
```
 {mbrolaExecutable} -e -R {mbrolaRenameList} {mbrolaVoiceDB} 
 - -.raw 
```

```
    Returns the unit concatenator to be used by this voice. This method constructs the command line with which the MBROLA binary will be called, and initialises the MbrolaCaller accordingly.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getUnitConcatenator in class CMUVoice
    
    Returns:
    
    the unit conatenator
