Fun fact I record in my living room or sitting on my bed/the couch I mean this genuinely, if you are unable to record physically comfortably in a closet or under a desk DO NOT RECORD THERE. Your discomfort will come through in your voice and will result in strained, laboured sounding samples in UTAU, or in my case, I actually managed to give myself mild vocal damage and moderate damage to the muscles in my back from recording in my closet. If you are physically in pain or experiencing discomfort while recording, stop immediately and move your setup.
It's about time someone made a video about recording a voicebank in its entirety. I like it a lot.
It’s been so long since I’ve last seen a new UTAU tutorial where it’s actually straightforward, not so vague af, made like a joke, and not a bunch of filler commentary, which unnecessarily pads their videos for some reason, and I thank you for that.
I keep wanting to make a Voicebank, but keep losing steam before I can finish it. Every time, I come back to this video and relearn everything. Actually peak video
i have never used utau in my entire life and have zero intention to use it but this was so interesting!!! i love seeing the behind the scenes so ty for making this!!!

Hey y'all, this comment is gonna have some quick addendums to the tutorial, either adding things that I neglected to mention or correcting any mistakes. This comment will be updated as I find more corrections, so please read: - I neglected to mention that this tutorial is written with the assumption that your computer runs on Windows. Some of the programs I’ve mentioned may not work on other operating systems and you’ll have to look for alternatives. - As of editing this comment, the download link for OREMO has been down for a while but there's an alternate download link I've added in the description. - Not necessarily an error, but at 7:03, I expressed my dislike towards CV English and despite still standing by my preference towards VCCV English/ARPAsing, I feel that I should have worded it differently. CV English works better than I gave it credit for, but I still prefer the results of other recording types and I still recommend you use VCCV/ARPAsing. - The diagram at 24:06 - 24:18 is incorrect, the part that won't be looped should include everything between the left blank and consonant, and everything between the consonant and right blank will not be looped. - I've been told that for CV hard consonants, you're better off oto-ing based on 30 overlap (lower for shorter consonants) with the overlap being slightly before the consonant starts, then the preutterance being against the start of the vowel and the consonant area ending shortly after the vowel levels out. The technique I've shown in the video can still work, but if you're unhappy with your otos, you may want to try this out.
here i am, a brazilian, watching an 40 minutes english video about a japanese program. honestly this is the best tutorial ive ever find so far. i was really think about jumping straight to vcv but the oto-ing part looks so scary that I pretty much prefer a choppy voice for my first voicebank. thank you for the tutorial, it helped a lot!!!
Wanted to leave a big thank you here. Your tutorial was the resource which motivated and gave me a proper grasp on how to actually tackle all of this. I thought creating such a voicebank was always a very difficult endeavour but you made it really understandable and approachable for me. Therefore I finally realised my 10 years old plans of creating the Banks I wanted. Having some up-to-date resources on this was a massive help so yeah, now Iam UTAUing too :D
This is a great tutorial! I've been making UTAU for 10+ years, and this will definitely be a video I sent to friends just starting out, but who understand the basic terms. c:
this is so complicated, my respect just skyrocketed to anyone who uses vocaloid/utauloid softwares. thank you for the video!!!
Do I have any intentions to make a UTAU voicebank? No not at all. But I still feel very informed.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE WAITED FOR A TUTORIAL LIKE THIS!!!! I tried making one several years ago but gave up because I didn't undeerstand some part and straight up just got lost, so thank you so much for making this video aaa!!!!!
i haven't watched through the whole thing yet but thank you so much for making an utau tutorial in 2023 first of all and second of all THANK YOU for including proper subtitles !!! i can never follow without them
Don't spend any more than maybe $50 on a usb mic as the returns are super negligible for the increase in price. If you want something better than the blue snowball or similar you should just save up for a Scarlett Solo and an AT2020. But if you don't plan to use your mic for anything other than maybe making voice banks and some voice chat there's no reason to pay more than $50 for a mic. But, don't let only having a crappy mic stop you from making a voice bank. The important thing is that you actually do THE THING in any capacity. You can always remake your voice bank down the line with your added experience from when you had bad equipment and minimal experience.
FINALLY A FULL TUTORIAL. I have always wanted to make a voicebank, but im basically a senior citizen when it comes to technology. So hopefull i can finally creat my voicbank with this!! 🥳
thank you!! this was confusing at first, but it got me to understand a lot of the terminology and basic terms coming back to this after watching more UTAU tutorials or utau-making livestreams makes it easier to understand and intensely helpful
me watching this even though ive been in the utau community since 2016 and my vb is literally in this video
I wish there was a app i could use to make a utau on ipad
