UTAU

What is UTAU?

UTAU is a freeware alternative to Vocaliod, a program where you can use virtual singers to create songs. Unlike Vocaliod, which hase pre-made voicebanks that users can purchase from the company, users instead create their own voicebanks to use within the program. This usually involves recording youself or a friend singing Japanese phonetics with a seperate program called Oremo. Others create voicebanks for fictional characters using existing voice clips, these are called Jinriki and are not (usually) shared publically due to copyright concerns. Users can also download voicebanks made by others if the creator allows it.

Where can I get UTAU and find Voicebanks?

The best place to find anything related to UTAU is The Official UTAU Wiki. This is where you can find tutorials, voicebanks, and even albums released by UTAU creators.

You can also use this google document to find repositories for pre-made lyrics for popular UTAU and Vocaloid songs.

UTAU also has a feature to import MIDI files. If you have a MIDI of a song you want to make, you can import it into the program to have the melody to the song. I would suggest BitMidi for MIDI files and OpenMPT to seperate the vocal melody from the rest of the music.

My Voicebanks

Here you can download voicebanks I have made. Please credit Orionnn334 (and link back here if you can) if you use them

Paruko (Harmony)

Made using my own voice, with bitcrushing and chorus effects added with Audacity. I wanted to make a Paruko voice bank without using existing voice clips. My voice sounds pretty similar to hers, so bing-bang-boom. I'm assuming it's okay to share publically since I made it with my own voice.

All I ask is that you don't use this to make anything bigoted or harmful. Have fun.
