History
The development of Bruno and Clara (a Spanish female) started around 2009. For that was made a casting which included  ESMUC's students, professional and amateur singers. From that casting a two candidates were chosen, a male a female. The creation of the voicebanks weren't  continue, as first was needed adapt Vocaloid's engine to the Spanish and found the company.

An early version of Bruno was shown during a Yamaha Conference in 2010.

His demos were revealed October 21, 2011. He and Clara were released in 23rd of December. Their production was aided by Giuseppe.

Bruno and Clara were finally released on 23rd December 2011. However, they were only able to be bought via download and buyers had to use a non-free e-mail account to purchase them. This was to prevent credit card fraud, the problem was not Voctro Labs, but rather the retail seller Share-it's rules for sale. They come without the full editor, but could be bought together or separately. Their joint package made them the cheapest of the Vocaloid 3 voicebanks, despite the user having to purchase the full Vocaloid 3 editor separately.

Finally in January 26th a month after their release they were available to buy using PayPal, allowing the customers use a free e-mail account.

Bruno, like his counterpart Clara, has some Iberian Spanish accent which is noticed in the addition of the phoneme [T] and the realization of the [s] phoneme, which has certain "whistling" or SH-like quality. However this one isn't so heavy, which allows achieve a more neutral accent in case of be required.
