Most of those vocals were in the "test" stage, from what I gather don't they have about 4 voices? None of these voices were test official or at the time officially being worked upon to become Vocaloids.

Given that English vocaloids can take a year to make at least and that the theory of V5 being with us either at the end of this year or at some point next year... Well if V5 has already been announced any new vocaloid will come out for V5 if its an Engloid at this stage rather then V4. They also would not be a allowed to state too much because of V5 having yet not been announced. It is also dangerous and unprofessional to say too much about unreleased projects.

Personnality Augris did not impress me and I was disappointed that Crossfrowne was part of the project given Crossy's history and my encounters with them. We're talking about someone whose artwork is not particularly great though has greatly improved over the last 8 years (which is to be expected) yet has something odd still about the faces... I'd rather they use a different artist. There is also the issue of Crossy being within the old VO "click", the one group half responsible to fueling VO forums myths about English vocaloids that I have spent almost 8 years debunking. In fact, some of VocaTone are from this click entirely. Lastly, this is the same person who had to be pointed that Leon and Lola were soul singers. The concern here is Crossy is part responsible for the blond Leon and the Lola image we're used to being popularised and had not done their research which lead to these images becoming popular. While they did say they would use alternative desings I did not see this happening. Then their is the issue of them snapping at the idea at the idea of two Vocaloids being related because the idea of two instruments being related was ridiculous... Which I tried to point out is actually a concept that is real, some wood instruments are indeed related to each other, just not in the same sense as brother, sister, cousin, etc. Not to mention, when I once corrected Crossy I was threatened with a kick to the shins for something. I forget what it was, it might have even been the Soul singer stuff. They were also guilty of being one of those who believe that "Luka Japanese can do better English then Luka English" and other such nonsense.

I could think of a few other people, who despite their opinions, I'd rather be working with VocaTone and a number of better artists.

Then again, bare in mind Crossy has issues with me, but this is because I defended English Vocaloid to the death early on because I was fighting a battle to prove a lot of myths were nonsense. The kinda, as I said, that were coming from their own mouth.
