What is UTAU, UTAUloid?
UTAU, (meaning Jinriki Bōkaroido or Manual Vocaloid) is a simpler and similar software to Vocaloid.
So, what are these characters actually called? The proper name for them, are UTAUloids. UTAUloids, (with the similar name as Vocaloid) are names for the many different voicebanks used for UTAU. There are many UTAUloids, as more are created every week by YouTube and Niconico users. This program is worldly known, but people who are getting into anything vocal-synth related, still haven’t heard of UTAU.
This software actually comes with a preset voice bank already installed, Uta Utane, the mascot for UTAU. The way UTAU works is slightly different, It was said that this program was developed as an “answer” and “competitor” to the very-expensive VOCALOID software. Instead of paying for voice banks, in this program allows you to create your own voice bank, and search for other custom voice banks other people have created. One of the most popular voice banks people have heard and can use, goes by the name of Kasane Teto, She was originally made to be an April Fools joke, a competitor with Hatsune Miku, but people loved her voice bank so much, that her creators decided to make her an actual UTAU and gave her various phases and tones to tune her in, (she later got a Synth-V voice bank)
