WHAT IS VOCALOID? #1 The History of Vocaloid

[@meidream2292]

Ok so, vocaloid is a computer that sings. songs can be programmed in it to sing, anybody can make these songs and also make them into different languages. Each computer can be programed to have a specific voice each of which has a mascot, hatsune Miku being the most popular or one of the most. These mascots can have their own concert. Since these are just computers and not actual people they appear as holograms, acting as a vessel for the voice. Vocaloid is NOT an anime or a game, it is a type of music that many enjoy. And sorry if I spelled vocaloid wrong. Correct me if I am wrong about any of these please.

[@LilWonderfulWorldSTJ]

I was confused if the vocaloid characters themself are humans, because I saw this video that said things that the vocaloid surprises us with, but like yeah, of course. How could it be surprising it’s just a computer. (Sorry is my English is bad too 😂)

Who doesn't, honestly

[@ponygirlmlpeglover4385]

Sorry. It's too late. You need to go to Japan and the city where the crypton future media studio is (Sorry for bad english, I'm filipino and idk what city) and apply as voice provider. Idk if you can apply as vocaloid voice provider.

Shut up Meg

[@bed-headreader25]

I personally think that you should talk, about why the Vocaloid, Tone Rion didn't do as well as others, and also how IA, became so popular so fast, she was her companies's first Vocaloid, too. Lastly, the missing Vocaloids Ring and Luis. I hope you take some of my suggestions, if not I understand.

[@connordoesexist1807]

IA sang anime themes, if you want to know.

[@brendonsforehead2912]

So are vocaloids robots or holograms

[@Octanielandfriends]

Holograms

[@connordoesexist1807]

Programs. They're not robots. They holograms in concert. Or augmented reality.

[@jordirapper]

Vocaloid is a PC software that lets you use vocals like any instrument. The Vocaloids are the characters. They sorta represent the voices available and since that got massive attention by also more casual people that then created music and animation and what not, SEGA and the studio behind the software have been making big money. The Vocaloids on concerts are hologram projections on a see through screen.

[@icedcoffeenoctule3131]

I love your name

[@spacehooman_4802]

After all these years finding what anime is Miku from...

[@annasady4142]

but I still don’t get one thing, who make the songs and the mvs? like is it all just made by random people who bought the program?

So I was thinking of joining the fandom.

Is vocaloid just like when Lin Minmae's hologram sang the "We Will Win" song during a huge battle in the Macross/Robotech tv show?

Do you know why for the vocaloid2 sweet ann they use a picture of Lena Horne???

[@ru3ty4cru3ty6]

I always thought it was a genre of music made by a computer

[@veronicacamp9334]

Thank you so much :3 I always see the name miku hatsune everywhere and j thought she was an anime character XD

[@pendragonqueen0956]

So does that mean Teto's voice of songs I've heard her in is fan-made? (Like when I thought she was in the Night series as the mastermind...?)

[@rosalinaakt6075]

ok im still kinda confuse , other people can use this vocaloids sound to make a song right? but how do they do it? do they buy the program?

[@Momo-qe2zk]

Yeah you have to buy the program, the program then lets you add notes and then the software will sing them.

[@Liam-qj8ti]

Oh!

[@soratakanda879]

Why dont i like this :( ???? I WANT TO LIKE THIS SO I CAN ENJOY ALL THE VOCALOID MEMBERS !!!

[@canamemiku]

Sorata Kanda just think that is good :D

[@sethkaren6842]

Sorata Kanda I can recommend you a number of songs, see if you like any. What are you looking for in a song? Heaviness? Lightness? Etc

[@sethkaren6842]

Also, if you like higher pitched or lower pitched voices, or if it doesn't matter so much

[@Userrr1089]

There is this Satan song I heard of that makes you go crazy or something like that and it really freaked me out is all vocaloid satanic???

[@totallynotaoi4662]

Sandy Flounders Depends on the producer who makes songs

[@Userrr1089]

x*Akai Tsuki*x wdym

[@totallynotaoi4662]

Sandy Flounders There’s different people who make vocaloid songs

[@zyro.577]

What is the first song?

[@dsandoval9396]

Very interesting stuff however I would suggest to work on your audio editing. The volume to the few seconds of the OP to the anime you use is super loud compared to your voice recording. I had to turn up my laptop vol to 100 listen to your voice comfortably and then any time the music parts started it was incredibly loud... or your voice vol is recorded incredibly low. Either or. Still good stuff.

[@xxmodzhaxsxx7910]

I wouldn't consider the first computer to sing the first vocaloid

[@dynogreeno]

Ameya/Ayame created Utau

[@justinjolly3144]

So is bonzi buddy... VOCALOID!?

[@belle4857]

I watched this after coming to the realization that I was an uncultured fuck. I knew Hatsune Miku's name and face but had no idea who/what she was. Now I don't really get point behind it to be completely honest. I respect that it must take a lot of work to create a Vocaloid song just as it does for any other. I don't like the music if I am honest but hey, at least I can now not feel so uncultured. Maybe one day I'll get into it, I might even try it myself but I don't know I think id prefer sticking to using my natural voice.

[@gabygarcia1678]

i am so confused my mind can keep up

[@Penfold8]

Is this a precursor to an actual Sharon Apple?
