Then, go to "Tools" -> "Voicebank settings". In order to do it, you'll need the Essential UTAU Toolkit ( fav.me/d78fbld ).įirst of all, start UTAU and select your voicebank (go to "Project" -> "Project properties"). To tune your UTAUloid, you need a test ust which contains all the phonemes you have recorded. Now that you have recorded the first phoneme, you have to record all the others, using always this method.Ī ust is an "UTAU Script File", a file which contains the UTAU song. Save the recording as a WAV file, inside the folder of your UTAUloid, and give it the name of the phoneme you have recorded (in my case "ka"). You can save it: click on "File", then on "Export selection". Leave some silence before and after the syllable (picture: /1e1c2p.jpg ). You should get something like this (I recorded the phoneme "ka"): /vr9h51.jpg When recording it, don't modulate the voice and don't change the note you are singing in that moment. There are no limits, but it is better if it isn't too long or too short. Then, pronounce or sing the phoneme you need. To start a recording, you have to click on the red circle button (on Audacity). When you record your voice, be sure that there isn't a background noise.

An excellent, free recording program is Audacity you can download it here: /?lang… (from this point of the tutorial, I will write the recording instructions for Audacity).Īfter you have installed and opened the program, you can start to record. To record the voicebank, you need a computer microphone and a recording program. Inside it, create a new folder and name it with the name of your UTAUloid. Open the folder in which you have installed UTAU, then the one named "voice". If you want your voicebank to be used easily by anyone, it is much better if you name the phonemes using letters and add hiragana aliases then.Īlso, don't use capital letters in the name of the phonems: it will be impossible to tune them.īefore starting to record your voicebank, you have to make the folder in which you will save it.

Using Latin letters or hiragana: if your voicebank has been named using ideograms, many computers will not read them even if it has romaji aliases, and it will usually need a manual convertion. NOTES: In UTAU, "r" is considered to be "rest", so you can not name any phoneme as "r" because the program won't read it. You can find a complete reclist here: fav.me/d7qgqde Just make a list of all the ones you want, so that you can be sure to not forget any of them (however, it will be possible to record again anything you want).

They are:Īfter these, you can record all the phonemes you want to include in your voicebank (for example, you can record syllables starting with " L "). Since the most used langauge, in UTAU, is Japanese, it is better to record at least the standard Japanese phonemes. UTAU can support almost any language, but it needs the proper phonemes to do it.

The avatar usually is the picture of the head of the character, it must be a bitmap picture of 100x100 pixels. You can make an avatar picture for your UTAUloid, which will be shown in UTAU while using its voicebank. It is often added to the UTAUloid's voicebank so that people who download it can know how the character looks like.

The concept art is a full body drawing of your UTAUloid. Some people don't appreciate the so-called "Miku formula", that is a design very similar to Miku Hatsune's. Also, don't compose names using parts of words from a language you don't know: there is the possibility that you won't get the meaning you want. Don't use a name from a language you don't know or, if you use it, check what it means before. You can choose the name and the design you prefer for your UTAUloid. Some people thinks it is not much realistic, but it is possible to obtain great results also with this kind of recording. It is the easiest way of recording a voicebank. There are different kinds of voicebanks: in this tutorial, I will only write about CV voicebanks.ĬV means "consonant-vowel" and indicates all the phonemes which start with a consonant and end with a vowel. To create a full UTAUloid, you have to record the voicebank and make the character.Ī voicebank is a set of phonemes and sounds which are used to create the words of the song. Making an empty oto.ini file and a test ustĪn UTAUloid is a character and a voicebank for the program Vocal Synthesis Tool UTAU. by tuning your own voice you will learn to tune all the other ones using your own voice will help to get confidence with the program many UTAUloids, even "official" ones, are not well tuned other people's UTAUloids don't have all the phonemes we would like to use

Why do I make a tutorial on how to make an UTAUloid before explaining the use of the program? Because:
