Not sure if this is the right forum...

Anyway, I've started a project for voices for the voice synthesiser UTAU.

Basically, you have to choose a sample ("ka", "pi", etc) and upload it.

It would be very nice if you chose to upload a sample.

Project info here->http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/61201-crowdsourced-utaus/

You don't need a Vocaloid Otaku account.

Mods: Feel free to delete this or move to a different forum.

Eh, looks fine over here.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what you're asking of me. Pitch? Where would I go for that? What exactly do you want me to hold out for six seconds? And what about someone like me, whose voice can sort-of pass for a young boy's one?

I'm not sure if this is necroposting.

I'll try to explain

A language is made of many sounds (phonemes, or samples) that are strung together to make words.

A collection of these sounds ready for synthesis is a voicebank.

Each voicebank is made of those sounds. For example, a japanese voice one would have all the sounds in the japanese language. So 'ka' sound, 'ba' sound etc is all in there.

These sounds are recorded and placed in a folder.

When I say 'record a sample' I am asking you to record a sound from a language and upload it to the folder.

In the original post of the Vocaloid Otaku thread, I gave you a list of sounds in each language that I need.

It's in the 'reclist' or recording list for short.

'six seconds' - When you record your sample you hold it for 6 seconds.

Pitch - The note pitch, so like a note? The musical notes are C, D, E F G A B C.

If I say C3 then I mean C in the third octave. You would record your sound sample at one of the pitches I gave you back at the original thread.

Eclipse- Well, a young boy's voice is usually quite high pitched, so perhaps upload it to the male voice but in a higher octave? Does that make sense?

Nope, not necroposting at all~!

Your explanation helps a lot. . .but one last question:

Where would I go to figure out what pitch my voice is? I don't mind recording a bunch of things, but I'd like to know where to put it!
