The software is intended for professional musicians as well as light computer music users and has so far sold on the idea that the only limits are the users' own skills. The software is available in English and Japanese, although a Chinese version was produced for Sonika. Each Vocaloid is sold as "a singer in a box" designed to act as a replacement for an actual singer. The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice. A piano roll type interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each note. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. It uses synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. I've been lucky just to make it this far, so thank you.Vocaloid ( ボーカロイド Bōkaroido ?) is a singing synthesizer application, with its signal processing part developed through a joint research project between the Pompeu Fabra Universityin Spain and Yamaha Corporation, who backed the development financially-and later developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid". I'm constantly discouraged and feel like what I make isn't good enough, but so many people have given me the strength to keep going. I would have given up on this years ago if it wasn't for your support. If you've donated a dollar or even thought seriously about it, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
They'll be recorded in my spare time so they won't be perfect, but I'll try my best. Right now, I can offer are Patreon exclusive covers of songs that aren't Vocaloid.Īnime openings, pop songs, Disney songs, things like that. It honestly scares me just to post on here because accepting money feels wrong and I'll never be able to repay any of you. I'm not a social person, I don't value anything I make, and I do this alone.
I'll be honest, I've struggled with rewards on Patreon. But if you support, I can keep singing and doing this without worry. I have people I care about and, as much as I love it, YouTube will always take backseat to that. It's really just that.ĭuring the time I grew from a dumb teenager to a dumb college kid still doing YouTube stuff, I slowly took on more responsibilities in my life. If you donate, you'll be keeping my YouTube alive. I'm essentially gambling on every video and the hard reality is that the return is often 0$. Youtube is painfully unreliable and virtually impossible to guarantee an income from as I've learned over the years. In voice voice acting, I'm a non-union VA and only get roles once in awhile.Īs for YouTube, the reality is much less glamorous. But because of the amount of time I dedicate to covers and voice acting, it's taken me much longer than expected. I live at home with my parents still to help save money as well, helping out when I can because family is family.ĭon't you make enough from YouTube? Or voice acting? On a personal level, I'm a college student part time working on my degree. I've been lucky enough able to pay for my college so far, supporting myself on these passions alone. I love anime (obviously) and love acting so I try and make time for auditions, recording, and conventions when life allows. It's non-union work but the pay isn't why I do it. I also have been working as a professional voice actress in anime dubs at Sentai Filmworks for about 6 years now. So far, I've been covering these songs on YouTube for 7 years now and would like to keep going for as long as I can. Each new year is a blessing honestly. I was also lucky enough to find something that I was passionate about that makes so many other people happy. I'm literally just some weeb who likes Vocaloid and doing stuff like this. Sometimes I sing other things like anime or jpop, but usually just Vocaloid.Īs for what Vocaloid is, this wiki is your friend. I take Vocaloid songs and sing them in English.
