Template:Infobox Vocaloid

Clara is the first Spanish female Vocaloid3.

History

Her demos were revealed October 21, 2011. She and Bruno (a Spanish male) are expected to be released some time in December. Their production was aided by Giuseppe.

Demo

Bruno and Clara were finally released on 23th December 2011. However, they were only able to be bought via download and buyers had to use a non-free e-mail account to purchase them. This was to prevent credit card fraud, the problem was not Voctro Labs, but rather the retail seller Share-it's rules for sale. They come without the full editor, but could be bought together or separately. Their joint package made them the cheapest of the Vocaloid 3 voicebanks, despite the user having to purchase the full Vocaloid 3 editor separately.

Currently, there is a special pack, composed of:

  • Voice library Bruno + Clara
  • VOCALOID 3 EDITOR
  • Samples (10 Bruno and 14 Clara)

It only costs 140 €. Each separate library costs 70 €.

Marketing

Clara and Bruno are aimed at Spanish music professionals and the first Vocaloids aimed at the Spanish culture. They do not incorporate the moe-esque[1] style of the Japanese Vocaloids and their designs are more aimed towards a retrospective European art style.

Competition

Clara and Bruno have a fanart competition right now.[2] The contest is being done as a response to the disappointment in the artwork from anime fans.[3] The winners were announced on the 19th of December.[4]

Reception

Template:Vocaloid Reception Clara has had a backlash based on her illustration, mainly for lacking an anime-like design or referred to as not having the appearance of a Vocaloid, with some going so far as to label her and Bruno as "ugly"; however, within the Spanish fandom there have been reports of strong defense from fans of the pair and Vocaloid, who have noted just as Japanese Vocaloids represent their culture and English Vocaloids the English culture, likewise Bruno and Clara represent the Spanish culture.

In extreme cases, Giuseppe (who is behind their creation) was reported to have received death threats aimed at their artist. The outcry mostly came from the fans who were used to anime styled Vocaloids, although have been more extreme than previously seen before with non-Japanese Vocaloids.

The voice type itself; however, has been noted to be appealing in general despite the issues some fans have had for the boxart.
