  • I remember trying to play Lost One's Weeping on my flute, but the notes were just too high to reach at the chorus. Now seems like the perfect time to try again.
    I'm listening to my vocaloid-only playlist after a while and I completely forgot about a lot of songs god!

    I got some thoughts listening to this playlist, I might write about it as a journal entry later
    Regarding future VOCAMERICA events

    If an online concert were to happen though, I'd be pretty excited to see! I can finally use that light stick I had since New Year's Eve at Disney World XD

    i hope they do it online!!! although i def saw this coming a mile away.

    an online concert maybe wouldn't be as good as being there in person, (i wouldn't have been able to make it to the real thing anyways) but it could still have that same connection you feel at a concert because everyone's online with you :)

    This whole thread is so true, my god. It's a little sad to admit this is the reality of vocal synths, but I don't think it has to be a bad thing, y'know?

    While you may be the outlier in this case with the rest of the community, a lot of people here have got into it because they were into anime at the time. Remember that the "golden age" of Vocaloid was when Miku was released, where many older fans were teenagers who stumbled upon her because a lot of them were into anime. What I mean is that designs target a type of audience depending on the style. Many people in the mainstream (at least in the west) would see anime styles as weird and fail to overlook that to think of the voice itself. You're an exception, but in a lot of places of business, appearances are everything. Including designs.

    With V5, although there are many factors that led to its flop, people didn't like the starter loids in particular was because they looked "boring". Usually what you see is associated with something you hear, and I feel like this put off the potential interest in them for the most part. I've seen a lot of people call them "generic Sims characters" as to why they don't like them that much.

    I just wish people can look past not only a synth's looks, but also its flaws, for there are many strengths in which I think people don't give the synth credit for.

    oh yeah i absolutely agree! what i meant by saying how i got into vocal-synths w/o being invested in anime/japan is that i was in the minority.

    looking at vocal-synths in a bussines aspect, appearances definitely play a very important role. i'm sure many of the designs took on an anime style because they were targeting the east, and because many of the vocal-synth were ment for japanese and chinese. that must be the same reason why a lot of the vocal-synths whose main focus was english are designed in a different style.

    i too wish a lot of people would look past a synth's appearance :/ but sadly we have plenty of vocaloid (and any other vocal-synth) haters over in the west. i have to wonder though, if the way yamaha would design they're vocaloids could be the same way they designed VY1 and VY2... would people feel a different way about vocaloids? it they could still get creative with the design aspect, but they wouldn't have to confine a voice to a certain character appearance. clearly VY1 and VY2 did fine, and people ended up making they're own designs for them anyways. still, i wonder how (or if!!) that could change things...?

    I guess things would be different if that was the case, but that would have to be the norm for a long time for people to get used to it. I think in the west it wouldn't be much of a problem?? It would be great, though, less people biting each other on what's canon or not.
    Using vocal synths is a lot harder than I thought; I'm struggling more with putting in the notes than actually tuning it

    That gives me lots of trouble too >_> if you wanna do the "vsq" yourself I suggest checking what key the song is in, it will narrow down the options!!

    Everytime I turn on my laptop I keep seeing SynthV on my screen then I think of all the covers I started and then left for.... 4 months now?

    I might try to finish them at some point if only I can find an off-vocal for the song and try to remember time signature slkfj
    Just when I'm stressing a lot rn, my playlist decides to play a lot of motivational 80's music lol

    thanks Spotify :)

    I don't use Twitter at all, except for advertising my projects, because all I see there is drama, people bullying others and Animal Crossing. Forums are much better places.

    Quick question: What height do y'all headcanon Daina as? I wanna see something
    Leon
    Leon
    P average, or a lil tall. Mind you I'm a 6ft female so maybe my views are skewed-- but I'd put Daina around 5'9'' and Dex maybe 5'8'' lol

    That's pretty similar to how I see it--I put Daina as 5'8 and Dex 5'9. It feels weird if I make any of them any more taller than the other to me lol
    Krin
    Krin
    honestly i always puctured dex n daina as tall too... i guess about the same height?? then again "tall" for me might be short bcos i am indeed short :yohioloid_lili:

    idk i just really like tall daina :<

    my hc height for avanna is shortish (around my height, 5'2) although i usually picture elves to be tall. just checked the wiki and apparently she's 5'6

    Oh, totally fair! I like it, actually. My hc I made up years ago was that Sonika was Tonio and Prima's daughter, but after their divorce, Prima raised her, so I've gotten to leaning towards a severe-but-reasonable-and-dedicated mother feeling from her LOL.

    Tbh I would be guessing with a lot of em too, but I think yours were good guesses then!!

    But jokes aside, I really love it. The instrumental was so fun and even addictive. The lyrics and the PV's storyline was also very intriguing, too. Someone commented that it could reflect Aido's journey and evolution throughout the years, which would make sense considering it's been 10 years since his release, so it's pretty fitting. This song will be stuck in my head for a while that's for sure!
    Amy's voice kinda reminds me of Alicia Keys. I don't know if it's just me, but they kinda sound similar
