Dammit, Mai, stop asking stuff that's one google search away! Do some research yourself! Here, open UTAU wiki, enter "UTAU" in search bar, click the fitting links, same for specific UTAU voicebanks, just search the UTAU's name, go to the homepage or whatever and look there. Don't ask those specific questions here, check the UTAU wikia, it exists for a reason!

It's been said before but I don't really think Teto should become a Vocaloid, either. To me it's just that simple: Her voicebank(s) exist already, to me it's preferable that completely new ones are added to Vocaloid for more variation. At this point Teto wouldn't really be anything particularly special, not design vice, not voice vice. Her voice has a nice enough "thing" that would probably sound good if one managed to just smooth it out but that won't work. Her old voicebanks should be improved, yes, but I think the robotic-ness is kind of a charm point so long as Teto doesn't sound truly "ouch, my everything" in the song.

Like here

Teto would have to be changed quite a lot. I doubt she'd just be the same but "smoother". Her design is just the first point.

And most of all, it's the company's decision. People saying she "deserves to be" a Vocaloid isn't gonna change that. Thus, saying so like "BUT IT HAS TO BE!" is pointless. It's about waiting what happens. And well, to me Teto might do a similar thing for UTAU fans and users as Miku does for Vocaloid fans and users: Bring in new ones. Those well-known figures can act as a bridge. I would think that as an actual Teto fan you'd at least support the software, you'd at least find her voice and perhaps even her computery sound somehow charming, enough that you'd understand that it's fine for her to stay that way and act as that bridge and perhaps think that better (a little lesser known) voicebanks (like Ritsu) should be Vocaloids or just that it's fine the way it is because UTAU with correct tuning is a nice, free, legal alternative to Vocaloid. Otherwise I'd have to wonder if you're actually fans of "Teto the UTAU" or of "Teto the well-known character".

By the way, I saw a person who claimed not to really like any of the Vocaloids and yet used "Vocaloid" as some kind of "awesomeness label" calling Teto one just because. It's like a lot of things that might be nice: The rabid fans ruin it for everyone.

Yes, I responded to this o-o-o-old topic just because. I have a need to say my opinion *looks sophisticated*

Also, am I really the only one who noticed that the OP skipped the 4 in their list?
