To add even more to this. The other thing to note is that you shouldn't expect instant success as you get to grips with this. A lot of folks doing this end up just doing VSQ/VSQX file slaps ins and tossing out a awful cover song, so getting it right is essential. At the same tie, don't expect much of a reaction, most Vocaloid overseas music doesn't get anywhere.

In addition, think and plan carefully any Vocaloid you buy. Your first Vocaloid is as important to really think about as any other aspect software.

Don't fall into the typical trap that is the reason many result to file slaps ins and buy a Vocaloid of a language you can't use. If you know Spanish and English (for example), stick to Spanish and English Vocaloids. I.e. don't buy a female Vocaloid when you really wanted a male, I know you can change the gender factor on the voices, but the HQ "true" result is always best from an actual male Vocaloid (in this case).

No matter what your thoughts on a Vocaloid, you can always ask advice from others on which vocal to go with, the best vocaloid for you might be the one you hate the most, so try not to be too bias or you'll find the potential no. of vocals goes down. But, take note, that the majority of the fandom wouldn't even be able to tell you VY1 and VY2 are HQ vocaloids and its only because its what their sold on that has resulted in this being known to be a factor. So when asking for thoughts on a Vocaloid from others, take everything with this in mind, that half of what people say isn't true or is what they think is true. This tends to be one of the issues surrounding some Vocaloids like the English ones... The fandom is very bias.... It tends to over hype Japanese Vocaloids above all other languages too.
