@Scintillarescenza, nope, the avatar will be ept but the voicer changed. nana aside none of their provider's know English enough to do it, so they said they'd find British and American natives of a similar type.

Most of the releases this gen are updated of existing vocals... But yes, on top of the vocals being more in V3 there were an awful lot of vocals that didn't stand out or overlapped. In early V3 people began to really get snappy about people saying one vocal sounded similar to another, but honestly... I point out this is crap, as if its possible in real life its possible in Vocaloid. You only have X amount of vocal variants within the human vocal before tone and range become similar and some professionals are trained to imitate a style (example, opera singers). Sure the samples are different between Vocaloids that that impacts how a vocal sounds, preventing them being identical, but they can sound alike.

...And yes, lets not get into the female vocaloids domination of the Japanese market thing. Because it kinda got remarks on non-Japanese vocals like Maika, who shouldn't have been receiving comment since she was the 3rd of a new language... The fans did a lot ore whining in V3 then in V2.
