I only say neutral accent because when people sing, people usually sing a certain way (ex. Adele). The same reason why people question why some Vocaloids have such a noticeable accent (ex. Miriam), because usually people don't sing like they talk.

With Cyva, people are actually trying to guess where she's from based on her accent. You can't do that with Big Al.

Like I know what Big Al is supposed to be, but that still doesn't change the fact that Cyva actually has an accent from an identifiable region in America, which is what I think they were referring to by "true" American accent, and I agree, she's the first successful attempt at getting an American accent in Vocaloid.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone forgot Big Al, but the Americans I know, including myself never considered his accent natural. Not going to argue over accents, but its still "American" regardless and has traits that American vocalists have.

Either way.. I'm currently feeling wonderful...I was reading the old 2010 Miku English topic at VO forums and after page 24 remembered what A-holes some guys there are at times. they do not let issues go and just bite at you for ages. I found posts longer then 2 paragraphs get criticism for being too long and you couldn't go into a long discussion without being accused of being "totally off topic".

I tend to find people here on thewikai more considerate, but whenever you look back on older VO topics...You tend to notice their behaviour more and more. For newbies, their aggression at times was frightening I'm sure.

It kinda reminds me of Arlong Park forums in the One Piece fandom, beleive me those guys in that forum are real jerks at times. Especially if your theories don't agree with theirs. Thank goodness we don't have storylines and arcs to deal with with vocaloid... Dicussing theories on plots of a story gets crazy stupid at times. ^_^'
