Voicevox seems to be turning into the go-to TTS engine for UTAUs and I'm all for it. Rook when??

This is really cool, I just wish he had a better name. Po-uta is a great pun in Japanese, but in English- his primary intended language!- it sounds so weird on my tongue. Also those character guidelines are pretty odd. Aside from the stuff already mentioned, it's both really broad and super...

If you're not threatening to bring Ange Wayne back, I don't wanna hear it

You know... I didn't want to say it, I thought maybe I was just biased towards the heavier stuff and saying something like "This isn't real rock!" would just make me sound like a big jerk. So I'm glad other people thought it too!

You don't even really have to wait to see this is the thing, you just have to step outside the vocal synth fandom for a bit. I'm pretty sure I've talked before in this very thread about the incredibly negative reaction social media had to Disney using AI to recreate a young Mark Hamill's voice...

And they seem to be running out of color schemes, too. Xuan Yu's logo has almost the same colors as Mo Chen's. At least VY1 and VY2 had items associated with them... Actually that just gave me an idea! Honestly, I didn't even register these new guys as being rock vocalists until I read it in the...

So it's been about a month since English-speaking vocal synth fans blew up on Mitchie M for posting a silly AI-generated image of Miku playing a saxotrumpet on Twitter, and now English-speaking vocal synth fans are going crazy over Diff-SVC, which is based on the exact same technology as NovelAI...

I guess it depends on what your barometer for "better" is. Just in terms of audio output? Yeah, NNSVS still has a long way to go before it's of comparable quality with any of the big hitters. But for some people (like me tbh...), just the fact that it's free and open source does make it better...

Just heard Meiko NT for the first time. Tragic.

What a silly thing to get upset about! I saw a Twitter reply calling this a "terrible failure" that could cause professionals to "revolt" against Dreamtonics and that the company's future was being threatened by this so-called mistake, and I just thought... That seems a bit much! Maybe chill...

Yuma kinda reminds me of some of the guys who sang opening/evolution themes for Digimon, the only anime I watch; and Natalie has a lovely mature voice that I'm always wanting more of. Two thumbs up! :agree: :agree:

Indeed, the only way to really solve the issue of web hyper-centralization (short of like, anti-trust legislation or something, but I don't see that happening any time soon) is to build our own platforms and try to divest from the corporate-owned ones as much as possible. It's an incredibly...

I hope if they make a Takahashi update (🙏🙏🙏) they'll finally tell us what his first name is.

You reminded me of how bored I am of all these virtual singers- including actual vocal synths!- who really play up their "virtual-ness" and make it a major part of their character. Like, when Vocaloid was first getting big, and somewhat convincing voice synthesis was pretty new and novel? Okay...

Now, I totally understand why these new "virtual singers" like Polar and now FN Meka keep getting compared to Vocaloid/Hatsune Miku in particular. Especially since those two even have the audacity to have blue-green hair (sorry but if you're trying to pass yourself off as a...
