So he is better then you think. Though I'm not going to say, "change your mind" because we all have our personnel tastes. Just correcting the minor incorrectness there. ;-)

In fact... Len is the one who is very unrealistic and unnatural, being a CV vocaloid and voiced by a woman.

And... Talking about Len never gets any easier.... ^_^' What's a CV Vocaloid? Do you mean a Crypton-made one?

Len being voiced by a female voice actress is no different to hundreds of animated boy characters voiced by females. Most male voices break long before they're actor material (there are exceptions, Aaron Dismuke comes to mind).

But I'm afraid even high squeaky Len to me at least sounds more human-like than most of what I've heard from poor Gakupo... I don't know if I've specifically heard Gakupo V3, but I'll keep an eye out and see if I like it more. Hey if you have any examples with good tuning please let me know. Normally CV refers to a voiceactor in the role of a certain voice, in this case, CV means Character Vocal Series. Which doesn't matter as all the series is CVs.

Also, though a vocaloid can be voice acted, this doesn't mean they are acting at all. The idea is the vocaloid is a character and your giving it a voice. So Gackpo, despite being "CV" is meant to sound like his provider.
