With this sudden flood of new voices, companies, and whatnot, I'd like to get some opinions on some of the current 'characters' out there. That is, ones that have Vocaloid-related ties, but aren't actually Vocaloids themselves. Yet.

Some examples would be the remainder of ICE MOUNTAIN, The four members of Luo Tiyani's group, VocaloRevolution's REV, and Sanrio's Kitty'lers. Also, any speculated ((but unconfirmed)) Vocaloids would fit here, too.

Personally, I'd love to see REV, Luna, and a Mukkupoid join the InternetCo. crew, and I'd like to see the rest of Luo Tiyani's group get voicebanks. I know that there are no plans for it, but Mosh would be a great addition as well.

How about you guys?

I wouldn't mind seeing James get a voice. Sure it was only an April Fools day joke, but I really want more Engloids

[The Vocaloid Mistress]

None. If it's not a VOCALOID, it shouldn't be a VOCALOID. That's what annoys me about CUL.

[Hasami]

Besides what everyone else has aid, I want Meaw.

[Dessert>desert]

I want Luna for sure.
And what about the artist edition of vocaloid? Miki was sold with that slogan, so is that a possible hint for future projects by AHS?

i want to see cafein work out some sort of deal to get a digitally mastered VB based on his/her official settings for Haku Yowane. but really i kind of like the lower version and i think Caffein's are a bit higher than i like. what they could do is rework Mikus existing banks for the lower frequency and they would not even have to recontract/ rerecord the seiyu.

i like when haku sounds like this:







or even these:

Ice Mountain and Luo Tianyi's friends.

I would LOVE James to have a voice! Currently, my friend and I pretend we have James by making Oliver's voice manly (it's like the opposite of genderbending, don't know the technical term).

[Valkyrja]

I'd like Meaw to have a voicebank (if they don't already? It's been kinda nebulous).

Minus the cul comment I agree with this.

I'd rather be surprised by a new and sparkling Vocaloid then a familair design I already know.

^ agreeing with above

no thanks, too close to/that is Mikuo's voice.

If they were to give Haku a voice (ugh) I'd rather they hire the lady who did "Haku" saying SEGA for Project Diva.

Anyway, I want REV to join CUL and both Ice Mountain and the rest of Vocaloid China to become vocaloids.

[Fragments]

I would like to see the rest of the Vocaloid China characters have voicebanks, since they were intended for Vocaloid use in the first place.

The other Vocaloid-related characters previously mentioned would be nice to have, but I'm not counting on them.

(However, I don't like the idea of Haku becoming a Vocaloid at all. I don't think it would be a smart business move to sell a voicebank for a character whose main claim to fame is singing terribly.)

[Somebodyrandom]

Haku and Neru are the ones I'd like not to have a voice the most.

If you give the CFM derivatives voices you pretty much are taking the mick out of the whole idea of making Vocaloids. What made Cul different was she was a unqieu character who earnt the right to become a Vocaloid via support from fans and was rewarded for her effort. Cul also was mascot of VocaloRevolution and already a Vocaloid resprentative.




Haku and Neru are ideas of a variation on Miku's design, they are not even original. If you give them an actual vocal, it will defeat the points they were created for. They present producer creativity to take 1 idea and expand on it. To make Neru and Haku more different to Miku and still maintain that the characters are indeed Neru or Haku, would require more effort then making a new vocal completely from scratch. If they alter the appearance or point of the two greatly then they loose the purpose of these characters. Its nice to be able to use them in reference, but not in presence. And even if they try and pull it off, I would argue on how well they did pull it off.

I'm not saying its impossible to give these two a vocal or any other character like them, but its going to be hard to do and would remove a lot of the things about them that make people see the charm in the characters.
