UTAUloid - Looking for an unique voice. (Doesn't have to sing)

**PaintedCz** · 01-16-2010, 01:49 AM

( Ehh... this doesn't really fit the normal format. But I am looking for a voice actor/actress so I'm pretty sure this belongs here! )

Project information - I'm looking for a unique voice to create a voice bank with for UTAU. If you have no idea what an UTAUloid or a Vocaloid is, that's ok! I'll introduce you.

This is Teto, she is an UTAUloid.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvzp_urfeeQ"]YouTube- "New Kasane Teto" subspecies[/ame]
The program running behind her is UTAU.

Basically, it's a freeware midi program that imitates how people sing. It's based off a real voice, but is computer generated.

YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SING OR SPEAK JAPANESE.
But it would be useful if you weren't that bad at singing or pronouncing Japanese vowels and R's and such.

What I will need from you in the end is 90 triphonic samples, and probably a good 50 or so diphonic samples. (I haven't counted the left over sounds that I need yet.) Depending on how we decide to save the files.. it could be less or more or less individual files.

Stuff like this:
These will all be held for a couple seconds or less on a C note.

Triphonics:
"a e i o u"
"a ke ki ko ku"
"a sa ta te na"
"i shi chi ji ni"

Diphonics:
"Di"
"Wi"
"Gwe"

I'm not going to write the whole list here because it would take up a crap ton of space and hurt both our heads. But if you do want to see the list before auditioning tell me here or PM me and I will send it to you.

Audition deadline - February 1st. Will extend though if I don't have what I'm looking for yet.

Recording and Contact information - If you can post it here or PM it to me, that would be great. If for some reason you don't want to do that you can email me at: Paintedpale@gmail.com

- You will need to be able to save in .WAV format, but I don't exactly have a preference for the format your audition is in.

- For auditions I just want to hear what your voice sounds like.

You can send me previous auditions for other things, or... send me a line saying Hi to me.. and a couple of sentences about your self. That's fine.

I would prefer though, if you are a good singer, if you would send me a song or a portion of a song with what you sound like singing as well.

But if you honestly can't sing to save your life, just a sample of your voice will do.

I'm also looking for good quality recording. No fuzzyness or background noises.
The better you mic quality the more I'm going to want your voice!!

Voice type:
I am looking for either a MALE voice. Just a general good sounding unique male voice.

Or a deeper sounding, strong FEMALE voice.

I also don't care what gender you are, but tell me which of these your trying to do.

If you've got something else that you think I'll like though that doesn't fit these, tell me what it is and send it anyways! I just might like it!

Uhhh... I'm sorry if it's kind of confusing... It's defiantly not the usual request for a voice actor...
If you've got any questions just ask and I'll try and answer them and update the info up here. ^__^

This looks awesome! I'd like to audition, but before I do, do you want us to just record our voice and send it to you, or are you asking us to get the program UTAU and record our voice on there and fine tune it then send it to you?
