ITs an undertone as a result of Vocaloid, normally it sounds "nasally". Each vocal synth engine has "signature" noises. I can remember someone at the late Vocaloid Otaku forums stating falsely that Vocaloid adds nothing to the voice but this sadly can't be true as no synth can yet not do that.

It was confirmed with Ruby that the voicebank can have a new tone to that which was recorded, either during the construction og the voicebank or by the engine itself, regardless it gets added. Ruby was not nasally in her raw samples but is as a Vocaloid.

Also, there is a chance that the way the provider sings or speaks during recording can get the wrong tone recorded. Wat is noted for saying that how you record English vocals makes the provider sound "angry" or tense, this is since English puts more stress and emphasis on words. Kaito Straight is also not a natural tone but rather a recreation of the V1 vocal which favoured Jazz and other expressive styles, Jazz being his provider's main vocal performance.

I think his voice is good at points because it was originally a professional singer's vocal performance in V1 compared to Miku's voice acted. Its based on a mature vocalists vocal as has aged well and is developed whereas most post V2 vocals seem to be based on teenagers and young adult male providers. He, Gackpo and Kiyoteru are all there is for Japan mature vocalists ad there is a lack of males anyway.
