This paragraph is completely mnessing up this page.

"While some Vocaloids are intended to sound like their vocalists such as Camui Gackpo or KAITO, others are the "character vocal" of their vocal provider. The decision to produce a voice acted Vocaloid was first demonstrated by the Character Vocal Series CV Vocaloids of Crypton Future Media, which was a result of the difficulty of finding willing professional Vocalists to provider their vocals to the software.[1] A voice actor can also lend their voice to more then one Character Voice role for the software, such as in the case of Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len and produce very different sounding results."

Let me break it down...


 * "While some Vocaloids are intended to sound like their vocalists such as Camui Gackpo or KAITO, others are the "character vocal" of their vocal provider." This is wrong because for Gackpo, and also as with Merli and galaco, a Vocaloid can be intended to have the voice of the provider while still being intended to be the voice of the character.


 *  "The decision to produce a voice acted Vocaloid was first demonstrated by the Character Vocal Series CV Vocaloids of Crypton Future Media, which was a result of the difficulty of finding willing professional Vocalists to provider their vocals to the software." If I remember correctly, Sweet Ann was the first Vocaloid intended to be the voice of the character on the box. We could put that Crypton popularized the concept, but PowerFX was first.


 * "A voice actor can also lend their voice to more then one Character Voice role for the software, such as in the case of Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len and produce very different sounding results." While this is true, it seems to perpetuate the confusion that all Vocaloids that are "Character Voice" have to be voice acted, it should be added that the voice providers natural voice can also be the voice of the character.

In short: We need to make it obvious that a voice provider's natural voice can be the voice of a character, and remove the incorrect information that Gackpo is not a character voice.
