Hmmm. I really want a powerful female voice. Like, loud and strong. Almost like a rock vocalist.
We have some nice versatile female engloids right now (Daina, Ruby, Cyva) but they just don't have the power that I'm looking for.

I'm with you there. It's good there are some voicebanks that can somewhat fill the role but they aren't quite there yet.
Would you prefer if she had more mature or childish voice?
I would love a voicetype like Caroline Polachek. Mysterious and mature, but not whispery.
I'd love a powerful female vocalist as well! Preferably one with a mature voice while being similar to Rin/Mikoto/Flower in terms of power. I'd also really love a Scottish accented Engloid, don't care if it's male or female.
Oh, and one with a similar voice to Miku's dark append! (I love the mysterious tone of dark, so if they released an Engloid with that type of voice, I'd buy it in a second!)

Hm, I think Avanna could pull that off. What do you think she's missing? And I hope this doesn't come across as if I were angry, I'm just curious ^^
Hey, no worries! You didn't come off as angry! Admittedly I haven't listened to Avanna that much, so I may have to check out some songs that use her since you say she could pull that off! ^^
I think we could use some more male vocaloids with really soft tones. I think Chris kinda fits that, but we could always use more!
A male vocal who doesn't sound super nasally/Kermit-y, isn't the voice of a child, and actually has power so he could be used for something like rock/metal/rap. By power, I mean in the way the phonemes are recorded, so they would sound aggressive to begin with.
Note: If someone tells me my idea is too niche (happens whenever I post my humble opinion in threads like these), I'm gonna puke. I'm allowed to have my dream even if it is "unrealistic". Rap is popular with young people, who are increasingly using DAWs for home made music, and rap is even crossing over to mix with metal elements. There are so many beatmakers on YouTube, but some don't have the ability to sing, so having a vocal synth who could sing for them would be awesome.
That being said, I guess the idea I have in mind is something rock/metal-y that you'd expect, like the vocalist of Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, HELLYEAH, Motionless in White-- something like that. A voice with texture.

I want a heavy metal engloid with multiple VB's recorded very differently. I want an ultra-powerful VB like the traditional 'kire' VB's in UTAU. I also want a dedicated death growl VB recorded with actual growling. Actually, to go all out, I'd like 2 different growl VB's, one recorded with false chord screaming and one recorded with vocal fry screaming. I want it to sound mature and I want the growl VB's to sound monstrous and demonic. As for the character design, I want it to look cool.
While softer tones being available is always good, there are already many engloids capable of doing that. In fact, as far as I know, all current engloids can sing softly. I've found it very easy to get Dex and Dinah to sing softly, so that area is already covered for me.

Good thing your idea seems to be pretty popular then! Everyone here wants at least pretty powerful voicebank, be it masculine or feminine. And I've seen people express inetrest in powerful engloids even outside this forum
Now that would be great.
- The ability to choose between
l0andl([l] vs [ɫ] in IPA). This is a no-brainer for Vocaloid, but voicebanks for other programs (hint hint SynthV) don't give you that control. - The ability to choose between aspirated and unaspirated consonants. Same note as above.
- Deterministic vowels.
- [r] and [x] at the minimum; ideally all of [ɬ ɮ ɣ q χ ħ ʕ ø y] as well. (One can only dream.)
- Aside from that, I'm not really a stickler for naturalism. I'm more concerned about clarity.
I honestly just want a Sweet Ann update she has my ideal voice for English vocals but she is sadly so outdated :(
Oh when I think of mysterious usages of Avanna, this more recent song always comes to mind. I think it shows off her capability to sound mysterious pretty well!
as for myself, I think I actually would want some more VBs on the softer/breathy side with contrasting tones toAvanna. It’s not completely “new” but just based off what I think I’d use since all my original music tends to have a softer kind of tone to it, so I enjoy using softer voices. Nothing too soft though, maybe like a Yukari English? Just a calming voice really
I'm gonna be the one with the unpopular opinion and say a cutesy English female comparable to a Japanese VB like Miku, Nemu or Hime. It's a really obvious niche that hasn't been filled yet (probably because Westerners don't like "cute" vocals the same way the Japanese do.)
I agree with the truly powerful English VB and different accent VB ideas though.

Macne Nana's english vb fits that voicetype, you should check her out! She's quite nice, I once tried out her trial.
I honestly think most of the people who would be interested in that would be the people who want Miku instead- I don't know if that'd be bad or not but...
My ideal vocaloid would be "Avanna, but soprano"
Not that I don't like altos, I just want a vocaloid with the same tone I can use for high notes
