Question

What is a good software application for creating a Vocaloid voice?

Community Answer

You should try to stick with Vocaloid itself, but if you don't want to pay $100+, then you can make your own UTAU instead with the UTAU application (free).

Question

What program do I need to do a 3D design?

Community Answer

You can use any 3D modeling program, but I like to use Blender. However, Blender requires a 64 Bit environment and hardware acceleration. (In other words, make sure you run 64 Bit Windows and have a good graphics card installed.)

Question

Can we create one on an iPad?

Community Answer

Yes, and most if not all steps are free. Downloading apps like drawing apps and voice recording apps are necessary, and you can even share your Vocaloid with an iPad too.

Question

What should my Vocaloid's voice sound like?

Community Answer

It could sound however you'd like! Remember, it's your Vocaloid. Get creative! Test out you own voice, and see how that works first. If that doesn't appeal to you, try something new. It's all yours!

Question

Can I make a Vocaloid that's based on an existing character, or do I have to come up with something from scratch?

Community Answer

Its really your choice. It can be based off of another character if it will help you build your character better, but if you want a fun challenge create something completely from scratch.

Question

What program should I install for making 3d characters or songs?

Community Answer

For music there are many programs such as Reason, Ableton or FL Studio. It's easy to get started with. Plus, there are loads of tutorials on how to create sounds, melodies or mixing on YouTube.

What if I am not good at drawing?

Don't give up on yourself! Anyone can learn to draw if they put the effort into it, and if you keep practicing, you will continue to improve.

Question

Do I need to make my Vocaloid anime style?

Community Answer

No, not at all. Many Vocaloids and UTAUs have realistic styles, or no particular style at all.

Question

How can I make my own Vocaloid character?

Community Answer

Design-wise, the best thing to do is learn character design skills. Color theory, body language, outfit creating, things like that. Voice-wise, you can use UATUloid to turn your own voice into a voice bank.

Question

Can I use my persona to make a Vocaloid?

Community Answer

Sure, just try to avoid making your persona a Mary Sue or Gary Stu because those are annoying.

Question

Can I create a vocaloid on an Android device?

Community Answer

Of course! All you really need is a drawing app. I made a Fanloid on my Android tablet using a drawing app called Ibis Paint X. It's a mostly free app apart from an optional payment for more brushes but you can watch a quick ad to unlock them for 18 hours.

Question

How do I copyright my Vocaloid name?

Community Answer

As a fan-made character, you can't own the copyright for it. Even if it was your idea, Vocaloid is copyright, already claimed by its owners and your character is "inspired by" Vocaloid.

Question

Can I do this on Apple products?

Community Answer

Yes! You just need a drawing app! When making my Fanliod (Fanmade Vocaliod), I used Ibis Paint X - which is available on both Apple and Android devices. The app is mostly free apart from some optional fees for extra brushes. But you can also just watch a quick ad and get the extra brushes for free for 18 hours.

Question

Can I make a Vocaloid without UTAU?

Community Answer

Absolutely! If you don't have UTAU, you can use the actual Vocaloid program, or Audacity will work just as well. (There are plenty of YT videos on how to use Audacity for creating a Vocaloid, although you might not be able to create a voicebank as easily as you would with Vocaloid or UTAU).

Question

Does it cost money to make Vocaloid music?

G-baby Berge

Community Answer

It would cost you quite a bit to buy the Vocaloid software and voicebanks, but you can find cheaper alternatives (like SynthV or UTAU) for user-made voicebanks to save money.
