Yeah, I've been beginning to notice that UTAU actually kind of sucks. Especially for English. I've heard somewhat realistic vocals in Japanese, but I've noticed that no matter how well-tuned and how many flags are used, the vocals come out scratchy. Even Teto's sounds kind of weird sometimes. And trying to get the thing to sing in English is a nightmare...

With CeVIO, I tried the free trial, which had Satou Sasara in it. It sounded a bit like someone singing through a telephone. It's pretty hard to purchase, too. I was considering it at one point. There was the option to buy it on Amazon or on Vector shop, but it said the Amazon was only available for the Japanese region, despite it being a download. So then I went to Vector shop, which was actually all in Japanese so that made it difficult. Luckily I can read Japanese, but I couldn't read all the words.

I tried Synthesizer V's free trial and downloaded Eleanor Forte and GENBU, and I can honestly say that I didn't really like it. Eleanor Forte's voice sounds like it's talking unless you lower the tension, but then it can't sing powerfully. And GENBU's syllables don't... how should I say this... go together very well. I guess he still is in beta, though. I also didn't like how there was no option for timing easily like there was in CeVIO.
