I mean, your point is valid. But there is such thing as editing it, why not get Saki to learn English? Just have the voice boxes repeat words, That would help DRASTICALLY. Because you can turn it to the vocaloid’s voice.

If only it was that simple... Japanese is a limited phonetic language and speaker struggle to separate sounds when speaking it. Anyone learning a new language, especially an adult has to go through paces. The V3 version of Miku English has issues with inconstancy of sounds (putting emphysis on the wrong sounds, other hitting too hard, or too soft).

In the other direction, English speakers have trouble being exact in sounds and often over pronounce things, which is why a lot of people saying "Kawaii" nd up saying "Kowaii", wrong vowel sound... Force of habit, its to do with the "k" to vowel movement, get the consant to vowel sound wrong and you going from saying "cute" to "Scary".

To be honest... Most anime/manga nuts think you can copy a handful of sounds randomly and you get perfect language... You can't. Especially note that you have to break down sounds to make a voicebank, which means you take an entire word (if its even a word, a lot of the time its gibberish), and cut it up. Cut it in the wrong place, you never get it right... Some sounds can't be sounded out naturally ergo need to be created digitally and there is a whole other heap of issues.

And every voicebank no matter what has the same thing eve if its done for a native language.
