Well, Japanese and Korean Vocaloids have done... So why not?

And English Vocaloids have been around longer then the Japaense ones, plus there is a demand for it amongst some of us.

Engloid? uh, I think just english
Luka failed a little bit in english so that might happen to an engloing too.

[P-chan]

idk
English/Korean would be interesting XD but i dont think that will ever happen OnO


but it would be cool....i mean yeah Luka have kinda failed english but as we know english vocaloids are better in singing in different language

[sleepysheep7]

Well technically they can already do Japanese even if it heavily accented. They are already being advertised for Chinese/Taiwanese use by ecapsules. Spanish is pretty close to English already and most have the rolling R so they can pretty much do that. I guess Korean would be the obvious choice for a second bank on the list. However I think a German voice bank or Swedish voice bank might be interesting.

Yamaha controls the languages so I'm not sure if a language we've not seen yet or know about is possible...

[baggagelizard]

I'm sure I speak for no one when I say: why not vocaloids in esperanto, sindarin, and klingon? Simlish or d'ni? Conlags for all, I say.

All joking aside, I would assume many people would like to see japanese in engloids, if only to cover the songs in japanese. (Not enough english vocaloid songs to cover ...yet)

I personally am going to only use english with the engloids (I don't know much from any of those other languages); I might like to see some latin, however that can probably already be done...

If you think about Vocaloid as strictly a professional product, then I'd say English/Spanish would be a good combo. But if I selfishly think about what I'd like, and probably what other people who only make covers would like, then English/Japanese would be great.

EDIT: Saw below post, changed my mind. I was really thinking English/French on the professional product side. Mmm...

I would adore an English/French vocaloid. With a soft female voice. >French Bossa Nova
ftw

A Korean/English vocaloid would be pretty successful I think btw. The korean and english music industries get along the most as far as east/west goes. (Kpop getting more and more englishified by the day.)

A cool voicebank though would be one that's not made for any target language. Just choose some key vowels and consonants and record them. A true "Sonika." None of this "record english sounds and claim they can be used to sing any language" shit.

Hey, SONiKA is a very good Vocaloid that sounds pretty bad because no one can use her well. When she's used correctly she sounds great. I think you're missing the point of SONiKA's voicebank. SONiKA's voicebank isn't restricted to set sounds like in Japanese were it's a consonant-vowel. English doesn't have combos like Russian were there's a shka like in бабушка (babushka).

[Prince Syo]

Sonika was marketed to be able to sing any language, however in reality she's only able to pronounce any combinations of phonemes that exist in English. So if there's a sound in a language that doesn't have an equivalent in english, she can't pronounce it. A true multilingual voicebank would have sets of all the phonemes required to pronounce the target languages.

[Kibbles]

i agree with syo... there is many prounounciations missing for her to do almost any germanic languages! she misses a gutteral "r" sounds... and to even be able to sing danish.... she needs a shit load more vowels to even sound semi understandable...

but yes... a bank that pretty much got all around phonemes... unlike sonika....

french/english or german/english... would make danish a shitload closer... the vocaloids i've seen speak good danish.... is SeeU and to times leon and oliver... len is really clear in danish... due to his prounounciation vowels
same goes for teto... in danish.. you have to speak like you got something hot in your mouth...

A English/Spanish would be good because it would benefit both langauges the most out of the 4 that we have right now. :-/

What if we got a bilingual male? That'd be interesting.
