Real singers are not always soft though. But only a few Vocaloids I know manage to be both realistic and powerful. Unfortunatly for me I like realistic powerful voices. c[:

It requires some delicate programming, as the human voice wavers and fades off in complex ways. Most Vocaloids when singing powerfully sing in monotone. People don't do this in reality, hence roboticness. They often have the robotic rumble too, rather than vibrato.

Softness is a comparitavely easy method to achieve realism. Its not foolproof though, one of my critisisms with Luka is she sounds a little stilted and snaps out of notes too fast, despite an otherwise semi-realistic voice. It hard as well to smooth through notes with technology like human's do.

(This isn't counting how realistic pronounciation is)
