>>32770a few things to add on to this that i've learned while making one
1. hating your voice is such a normal phenomenon that wikipedia has an entire article about it: it's called voice confrontation
2. after oto-ing for a while you just get used to it via exposure. if your voice makes you cringe then remember that cringing, while uncomfortable and might make you feel like you're drowning or suffocating, won't actually kill you, so chillax
3. the engine will probably change how it sounds enough that you won't hate hearing the final product at all. my voice makes me cringe, but i can listen to it in the UTAU engine while testing it over and over no problem
4. if you don't like your voice because it belongs to YOU and your self-esteem is just that terrible
like me you don't need to worry about it since people aren't gonna pass judgement on your person based purely on your voice. they might even have very nice things to say about your voice instead.
5. learning new things is fun
