We know it's roughly $10,000 to $15,000 to produce an English voicebank through PowerFX, I can't begin to imagine how expensive it is to have a Spanish voicebank. *curls up in a ball and cries* Two ways:

1. Investors

2. Building up money and resources over many years of selling products. Most Vocaloid companies do not only sell Vocaloids, so will fund their Vocaloid through the profits made by their other enterprises.

A couple of grand isn't a crazy amoung of money for a business to raise, really. c':
