Here's what i suggest. One anon should take care of the CV->CVVC conversion of the audio files and leave the OTOing to another anon assuming they won't do it themeselves.

I'm assuming they also had their own subculture that had an interest in overseas vbs, maybe, and the scene in general was just much smaller back then.

Kaine is a tomboy that's constantly getting ragebaited by her partner and I see Hitori as more feminine (and maybe a little creepy?) like Shinobu Kouchou or alnst Sua though so I suppose it's more of an evolution! They're very different now, even though one was the branch that spawned into the other.
>>32366It is! <3 Happy that came through. She looked very young initially because I was copying the way KEI illustrates (when I was also.. quite young) but her 2.0 was meant to age her up a bit even back then and I think now she'd be a young adult... at least in my head.

re: doodle, I was thinking about some bright tights like edelgard and I did some weird vinyl thing to keep her general shape but still show the midriff cut (important to me, personally). It doesn't show up well but she has arm gloves that go up to her palm under the armwarmers. I had a few design options but this was closest to her og age range.

I included a few extra breaths and the voice side terms of the TOU, thanks to whoever picks up her editing! The TOU can be edited as she comes together more for proper attribution, but I wanted to make sure I covered my bases. Let me know if there are any issues with anything :)

>>32543I like the idea of a flower! Maybe something like periwinkles? If we don't go white like drakengard :think: One big flower is also nice.
Admittedly my thought with the stockings was a bit more like this [img] thinking about trying to maintain some of her... edge? from v.1... It's more of a tiny creature concept like vivi than an idol image now that I think about it though, haha. Edelgard has her white hair to drag the eye back up, but the stockings are pretty loud on Hitori without anything else on her head. Just black and purple is pretty restrictive.
I'm not against adding an accent tone like blue or some white if it'll help \o/
No.32607
>>32601I'm actually shocked by how close it sounds to the original. I can tell the pitch of your voice has gotten slightly lower, of course, but it still sounds a lot like her to the point where i don't think we need to edit it at all.

all we need now is someone to oto her
No.32612
>>32592Hm, if Sora is willing to provide the voice clips we could try making a DiffSinger.
The problem is that A) DiffSinger is AI, like SynthV, the current Hitori voicebank has rules against that, and B) Recording for DiffSinger takes hours, even days, depending on what you're aiming for. Because you gotta record yourself singing at least 8 full songs in Japanese and 8 more in English. That's without counting the training which takes even longer.

Only thing to note is that some of the vowel/vowel changes have glottal stops between them, which I've kept in the F#4 oto. It sounds very nice in longer notes but a bit awkward in shorter ones where the phonemes would typically blend. We could use the oto to blend vowels by default by using overlap for a crossfade, then having a prefix/suffix for glottal stops ex. a い2. Would defer to other opinions though, I don't have a ton of experience.

>>32607 >>32629Haha, yay! I was thinking earlier in the thread that I could probably get pretty close and I remember the exact tone I used when recording her (I feel like it's almost become a stim at this point, lol), but I figured it'd be kind of silly to say I thought I sounded similar <15 years later. Happy it sounds close to you guys too!
>>32657I wasn't sure when recording if I should prioritize smoothness or enunciation or not- if there are any issues, I can record more takes, just lmk :) The n-n string was particularly mushy so I took that as a cue to redo all the vowels and make them clearer haha
I feel like my t's are a bit strong too?? In any case, I'm not opposed to recording more if there's feedback.
>>32668What a treat to wake up to!
Thank you so much! Haha I was listening to the old kenkawakare included in her og vb while recording and got emotional, how nice to have an update

>>32678I think this is so cute but there's no way to shorten it a bit, huh :<. Flowers..!
My two cents on the differentiators is that I am a bit biased towards :re as her original unit was r2 (yes.. like the geass season...) so two letters with r looks pretty natural to me and like an evolution of that!

No.32719
>>32717I heard making english UTAUs is a pain so most people go the DiffSinger route. But since DiffSinger is a type of AI voicebank I'm not entirely sure if the voice provider would be fine with it.
But either way, like you said, the current focus is EVO so let's work on that first then if Sora's down to record more Hitori voicebanks we can try something.
No.32720
>>32719 >>32717I'd have to look into the reclist- I was worried about how long it would take me (because I remember 1.0 being an odious, long affair...) so I just did the standard cvvc but it's painless enough now that I was able to do two pitches relatively quickly and I'm kicking myself a little bit for not just committing to the expanded list from the beginning, haha.
I've seen diffsinger brought up a few times so I'll do some research into it before I commit to an answer.
My general stance for the UTAU vb though is that I'm open to recording more if there are specific requests for things!

No.32721
>>32720DiffSinger in few words is basically the lovechild of SynthV and UTAU. If you can imagine SynthV but with the ability to create your own voicebank it's essentially that. Most voicebanks are ethical because they're created with the voice provider's consent, and since the AI is trained and used locally you're not using millions of liters of water to power some random datacenter in Memphis.
https://vocadb.net/T/9389/diffsingerHere's a sample of what Toriko Diffsinger sounds. She was made on this site:

>>32729Honestly, even back then every instance of her being used felt like a gift and not much has changed in that aspect. I’m mostly just thrilled to be getting content for her even after so many years!
I’ve always engaged with UTAUs because I love vocal synths and the collaborative creativity that comes with their music (songs, storylines, MVs, etc), so I’ve never had any goals or metrics in mind for how much she gets used or how popular she is. It’s a happy surprise each time. If I think back to 2009 I was almost using her as an avatar in a group space, so I don’t think I ever had any expectations for people to pick her up or for her to trend (aside from thinking in my heart like wouldn’t that be cool, haha)
Hitori’s gift to me has always been community, now and in the past.
