Like, it's the issue with this as it is with producing other Youtaite/Utaite VOCALOIDs. Get someone popularity and it starts a big fuss and leaves a potential bias. If we say... grab someone that has VOCALOID/UTAU experience, a good voice or desired vocal range, not very popular despite being very experienced, and can produce clear results, it would be great. Might cost more to hire them/give them a contract, but I'm sure there are great spanish singers on YT that do it professionally/part of a partnership program that don't identify as youtaite (which not everyone calls themselves it, it's kinda a recent term even though there were ppl who did vocaloid covers before hand) I can probably link to some good females and a couple of males in the 'community' (I think one person was in a band and even did some local news stuff so they might be used to doing more pro projects. Good luck though)

And then find a really good artist to commission and get into contact with some experienced users of the programs themselves to do demos (although unless they're bilingual I don't really know many composers who do fluent spanish songs [then again it's not a thing i really seek out since most of the new songs i hear are from what the translators upload.])
