User blog comment:Vocaloids4life/Miyako: my own original vocaloid/@comment-53539-20150517204657

There are so many people who want the same thing, and their dreamers without much hope. If Ring and Alys are lessons to be learnt... Keep dreaming.

The others have given answers that sum up the nice approach to this... Its somewhat a good thing you didn't create this on VO forums or elsewhere. Sometimes veteran fans take it as a sign of you being a "noob" and lay into you, others mock you as a clueless dweeb. Either way, its not pretty so unless you're serious about this, I'd work on a OC or UTAU.

Unlike the MLP fandom, also, OC's in general get laughed at because they often are't too creative. I remember in 2010, when people were laying into pitchloids very harsh, that part of the reason was everyone was just fed up with this. The point was that anyone can take Kaito's design, alter the colours and call it another "-aito Shion" character. And this is the problem. And out of all the derivatives, fewer and fewer are getting noticed even on the CFM side, who exploit their popularity.

A lot of it because, as new vocaloids joined the cast, not all studios took time to acknowledge OC's (the only recent one is Flower V4's "Shota" design being made official).

And even then going back to the production of a vocaloid itself... Yohioloid and SeeU are proof that you can't even be certain that a providing a Japanese voicebank will ness. sell to the Japanese fandom, due to basically how many vocaloids there are now. So you can't rely on Japan's producers to make your product successful should you make a vocaloid. And the more voicebanks you add to a vocaloid, the higher the price of making it becomes... Which is why Ruby will lack a Japanese vocal because PowerFX won't fund it unless she sells well. They risked it with yohoiloid, but yohio had an establish reputation in Japan and was fairly well known.

But this is, either way, why most vocaloids stick only to 1 language and there aren't too many bilinguals. Aside from Yohiloid, Luka (who was part of a well known series and was released onto early hype), SeeU (who was in a nutshell was reported to have been a disappointment sales-wise) and Macne Nana, all bilinguals are established characters - for a reason.

Maybe I'm being a bit cruel here with my response??? Sometimes you have to be cruel tobe kind. Either way, I'm not sure you know what you're getting yourself into kid. there is a reason why UTAU has become very popular, and you should look into it yourself for this reason. CeVIO has begun to spark interest to, as it seems the software is a lot cheaper to get licensed and being so new,easier to hope on board right now as competition is lower.
