This makes separating sounds for the English VOCALOIDs much harder to do. However, for English VOCALOIDs, the phonetic data has to be separated by cutting sections out of the recorded samples, because some sounds simply cannot be gathered unless they were spoken as part of a word. The libraries consist of various sounds recorded and separated for use with the software.įor Japanese the script is much simpler with each phonetic sample successfully divided across the notes with little trouble. The recording is then transferred to into a library which the VOCALOIDs will pull their results from. The samples are gathered via the provider reading out a script in various keys while being recorded. Note: The following applies to the VOCALOID2 system onwards, while both programs work in a similar fashion, some things may not apply to VOCALOID or work differently than VOCALOID2. 2.2.2 Coarticulation, Assimilation and Phoneme Combinations.This technique needs some practicing time, but when mastered it is a very powerful tool. Through the original connectivity of vowels with consonants, there might sometimes occur the case that pronunciations are distorted when you change them. The VOCALOID phonetic symbol (on the left-hand side) is equivalent to the parts in bold of the sample words (middle), and to the phonetic symbols that are often used in dictionaries (right-hand side). The list on the next page contains the VOCALOID phonetic symbols, with which you can modify each pronunciation by just replacing the original phonetic symbol. It will change then to a red color, indicating that you made a change. When you wish to change a pronunciation of a word, you click into the phonetic symbol field and change the according phonetic symbol. The lower part is the equivalent to your lyrics in phonetic VOCALOID symbols. The upper one is where you can just type in the lyrics you want Miku to sing.
There are two fields when inputting lyrics in Piapro Studio (see image below). This short column will show you how you can tune Miku’s voice and pronunciation into the style you desire or prefer.
It is yet impossible for VOCALOID technology to distinguish between these words, since they are inputted just the same way and therefore this decision can only be done through human intelligence. These are only a few examples, but you will encounter more words like these. Homographs are words that are written the same, but have a different pronunciation. At other times, you will encounter so called homographs. At times, you will want to be able to modify the pronunciation of words sung, into a tuning you desire or prefer.
