English Phonetics

What you see on the page is what you'll face with using a English voclaoid. Japanese English or "native English" vocaloids.

If your seriously going into english vocals... Let me give some advice here...

English Megpoid had a extension or something added, you could ask at VO if they know if it continued. If you were going for English vocaloids in general I'd take a little time to think about the choices of vocals though. Yohioloid and Avanna are ranked the best two english vocals, YOhioloid is bilingual. Oliver is better for realism but has issues due to his vocals being soft because of being from a child and all... If you want good english results, stick with powerfx or zeroG vocaloids. The quality is better then the Japanese ones.

However, the Japanese ones have better "all round" vocals so I'd not rule them out completely. Kaito English is bundled with 3 Japanese vocals that some are finding they have no use for... So this can be a little off putting for some. Gumi english has lots of issues, many are rating Miku english as about the best of the 4 Japanese-English vocals we have.

Suppose there are going to be announcements this weekend on English vocaloid news, and there are still several english vocaloid vocals to come. Hanging back is still worth an option.

The English vocaloids are only just starting to recover since 2007 when they got forgotten, so there are bound to be some questions. But the ones you've asked so far pretty much fall under the consent of "what does a English speaker likely use?". I mean no rudeness by this, its just I've noticed at times people often don't know quite what to expect from English vocaloids and ask some very easily answerable questions or make some outragous claims...
