This page is intended to be a page for notes on how to use or write the Voicebank sections.
 * Template:Voicebank Libraries
 * Category:Voicebank templates

About
Voicebank library sections are intended to help readers understand things about the vocaloids even if they have had little or no experience with the actual voice. They are notes and information spoken about by fans, producers and studios on the strengths and weaknesses of the vocals.

The information within is held in the following template;

Usage

 * "Genre" "Tempo" "Range", are intended for the official optimum settings for a voice bank. Please do not add ' fanmade ', settings.
 * "Details", are the intentions of the vocal and its aim or goal is to be.
 * "Traits", are the common things known about the vocal such as what its best for or worst at, its and vocal annoyances.
 * "Phonetic", is a section about issues, oddities and general notes producers may have to highlight while editing songs.
 * "Issues", are problems and notes about the software or general bugs cause by the vocal.

Result
The overall layout will occasionally look like this.

What not to add

 * General phonetic issues related to language that are not voicebank specific belong on the appropriate language phoneme list; English Phonetics, Japanese Phonetics, Korean Phonetics, Chinese Phonetics or Spanish Phonetics.
 * Personnel opinions about the vocal; whether or not you like the vocal, we don't want to know you think the vocal is "cute", this does not belong unless the vocal was set up to purposely sound cute. Example; Hatsune Miku and Tone Rion, both had vocals designed with the purpose of sounding "cute".
 * Difficulty; There are vocals like VY1, VY2 and ZOLA PROJECT who were created to be "easy to use" and therefore this is within their given design intentions. Vocals like Kagamine Rin\Len and Sonika are vocals that have been reported to be difficult to work with while others like Hatsune Miku are reported as "Easy" to work with.  Otherwise, without a large amount of evidence, this is mostly a opinion-based concept as different producers work different with the Vocaloids and can have different experiences.  So unless a design specific note is released about the vocaloid or a majority consensus is shared by producers, this is something that should off these sections.  This is more true for newer vocals, as time is needed for producers to study the vocal and learn how it works.
