Advantages of Vocaloid
This is a list of... well, the title pretty much says it all for this one. I was lazy and just pasted this in from Drive, because I saw this little, useful button called Remove Formatting, with which I also fixed my earlier post. Let's get started then:
#1: Vocaloid voices do not change. This one is pretty obvious, but it has a number of advantages not initially seen. For example, take Oliver. His voice donor was 12-13 years old during recording, and his voice had not changed yet, however he is now 20 years old. Even though the voice donor’s voice has changed, Oliver’s remains exactly the same.
#2: Vocaloid presents an introduction to music making for amateurs, as well as an encouraging community. Hmm.. Yeah, that about says it all. *gives self pat on back for conciseness*
#3: Everything in the Vocaloid community is fan-created, except for the Vocaloids themselves. This gives fans many opportunities to contribute to the community. The most obvious one is making a Vocaloid song, or maybe a talkloid, but if you don’t have a Vocaloid yourself, you can make fanart, song art, videos- either PVs or MMDs, write fanfiction, contribute to one or more of the wikis, make Vocaloid memes (I promised to list everything I thought of, okay?), toy around with UTAU (since it’s free), make your own UTAU, make your own derivative/fanloid, and so much more.
#4: Vocaloid has a number of famous voices, such as Satoshi Fukase, YOHIO, Piko, Gackt, and Miu. This allows fans of those people to make their own songs with the voices they already like.
#5: Vocaloids can sing things that human singers physically can’t. For example, have you ever tried to sing Circus Monster or Let’s Say the P Names? In the former, you were probably gasping for breath in every little pause, and in the latter.. I’ma guess you gave up after five seconds. For one, you don’t have to factor in breath, because Vocaloids don’t breathe. And for the other, neither do you have to factor in the physical limitations of the human mouth. It’s rarely as intense as, say, The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, but still.
#6: Vocaloid doesn’t have to be realistic in the first place, anyway. Some of my favorite Vocaloid songs don’t sound like a human is singing it at all. Kaisei, or basically anything with Gachapoid, for example. But is it a rule that music has to “sound real” to be music? Absolutely not. Yes, But anyway, with Vocaloid, people can explore new sounds now more easily than ever. Heh, I guess Miku’s name was accurate. She really is the “first sound of the future..”
Anyway, everyone can have a different opinion on this, but I personally am excited with what people will do with it. And of course, if you don’t like it, you never have to listen.
#7: The Legend of Vocaloid project. What is that? Well.. Here are the wiki pages for some of the most curious Loids in existence..

You can decide how to interpret this advance in technology. Not deciding anything is okay as well, I am not sure what to think of this either. It really is interesting to think about, however..
