User blog comment:Space-churro/How do I become vocaloid/@comment-53539-20140529100820

We see this question come up a lot.

Vocaloid Development was our primary first attempt to explain the process, but others have also tried.

The issues are;
 * first cost... A typical vocaloid cost several thousand to make. It includes licensing and all that stuff.  Depending on vocal depends on cost versus profit.
 * Secondly... Production team. Without a team you won't get anywhere.
 * Thirdly, you... You need to be able to sing, when recording the notes you'll be required to spend hours saying things in different scales, all while maintaining the same tone.

Even then, the different studios have different ideas. Oliver was in planning back in 2004 because he was released many years later. The chances of the option opening up is slim because of this, to top it off... When they do open up, you are competing with many other singers all with the same reasons and ideas to become a vocaloid. :-/

Also, I'm not doubting your language skills, but realistically I'm going to go out on a limb and say you should consider this isn't going to be as big as an advantage as you think. Can you form sentences without reference? Can you maintain the same tone in Chinese/Japanese/English? Does each sound sound correct enough? All this on top of being able to sing. This is why any bilingual who currently has been made has only used speakers who either had lessons or were already experienced at languages. Unless you are at a certain level of capabilities, those langauges you think you can do you really can't do.

Basically, I doubt this is an option so don't get high hopes of ever becoming a vocaloid.

We've had to break this to many folks who've asked the same question here at the wikia. The fandom can be quite cruel in reacting, I saw someone at VO get laughed at for asking this question. Fans are used to random fans asking this question and its usually met with "are you for real" type of response.

they can hire professional singers, they can get hold of singers that are decent multilingual... But the ultimate thing amounts to this; what can YOU offer any studio, that they can't get elsewhere better? If you can answer this one question, and be realistic about it, then maybe you have a chance.


 * Yohioloid got made because Yohio was Swedish and a multlingual singer, and PowerFX was swedish so it was easy to make him and cheaper then normal.
 * Miku got made after a year or so of English lessons for her provider, and because there was possible a market for her.
 * Macne Nana got made because her provider knows Japanese and English and her provider wanted to do both langauges, plus as the one behind the project had the inlfuence to make her vocaloid happen.
 * Luka's provider knew Japanese and English already, and Wat had already planned a bilingual vocal.

You see where I'm getting at?
