History[]
During the VOCALOID3 announcements, Zero-G were revealed to be working on a male and female Celtic-themed pair to add to the VOCALOID series. AVANNA was expected in the summer of 2012,[1] however, she was delayed originally because of a quality-related issue.[2] She was confirmed in the month of August 2012, during which her status was "almost complete."
EmpathP had been asked on August 13 if she was prepared to do the artwork. The art was done during August and September, and adjustments were made throughout. The eventual design, however, was rejected by Yamaha themselves for not being an "anime"-based style. The decision was made to start from scratch and redo the design in a style Yamaha preferred.[3][4] One of the theories put forward by the artist, EmpathP, was that the reason why YAMAHA rejected the non-anime like style of artwork they initially put forward, was due to the reaction towards Bruno and Clara's original designs.
In November 2012, at the VocaNoIro panel at Nekocon 15, it was revealed that AVANNA's voicebank was finished, and that EmpathP would be the artist of AVANNA's boxart. A demo of her voice was also revealed at the panel and uploaded onto YouTube.
On November 8, 2012, EmpathP revealed her design on her DeviantArt account.
AVANNA was set for a release on the December 20th, but was held back for two days.[5][6]
Zero-G has since confirmed that her counterpart male vocal was on hiatus as they had not found a voice that was suitable enough for the role.
