#vocal synthesis
need vocal synth companies to start moving back towards character voices
like all these high quality, extremely realistic vocals are cool but grow samey and somewhat boring as the releases go on, esp if they are AI voices that share training data

I feel kind of insane that it was a very strong consensus that AI voices are unethical because the original VAs never consented to their voices being used in this way, are not compensated, and their voices are being used for things they never agreed/would never agree to say and it doesn't matter if these uses are commercial in nature or not, it feels very ghoulish, but one of the biggest trends rn is AI covers of songs and they're being pumped out like crazy and people are falling over themselves to defend people who don't have big time production budgets using them instead of hiring someone on Fiverr or imitating the voices themselves or voice clip mixing and sampling pre-existing lines like the olden days. ok. alright. Good to see some of you out there have the moral fortitude of a wet paper straw

During the pregnancy I imagine that Peach of course sings to her baby to calm herself and the baby down. Just imagine her sitting in the garden while rubbing her own belly and singing nursery rhymes. And I am asking you, do you have any headcanons about this as well?
Oh-ho, don’t even get me started on the role singing plays in the whole ordeal. Too late! Ya got me started~
Mario’s a really good singer, but for one reason or another he just doesn’t feel comfortable singing around anybody except Luigi or Peach; even then, he doesn’t sing around them much at all. But Peach adores his voice and will occasionally attempt to cajole him into singing for her. He plays along and makes a big show of resisting before ultimately giving her that song she wants, dancing around with her and being generally overdramatic, and it’s a great deal of fun!
But on very rare occasions, he’ll sing for her without provocation. It’s always during moments of quiet intimacy, as though his heart’s just too full and it’ll burst unless he pours it out in song, or whenever she’s under strain and there’s no immediate way he can help her other than to comfort her. And those songs are soft, low, mellow, and nine times out of ten in Italian. When he sings for her like that, all feels right with the world.
Her first real bout of morning sickness sees her violently ill at four in the morning, and Mario leaves her just long enough to send a summon for the head nurse. Peach is curled up on the tiles of the darkened bathroom, and Mario returns with a blanket, sets her head in his lap, and sings softly to her as he strokes her hair. While Mario internally panics over her condition, Peach is wrapped in the warmth of his voice; she feels light and drowsy, like he’s cocooning her in pure comfort, and for a while all of her nausea falls to the wayside.
He does it again that night, laying in bed together after finding out that he’s going to be a father. She can’t understand the words, but the melody is simple and repetitive, and she quickly realizes he’s singing a lullaby. It’s enough to make her cry.
In the coming weeks, she asks him to teach her the same lullabies his mother sang to him and Luigi as children. So he does! He’ll introduce a new one every night until he runs out of lullabies he actually remembers (it HAS been a while since he was a kid). The English lullabies she of course picks up quickly; she’s particularly fond of the one with the diamond ring and looking glass, because, as Mario affectionately points out, showering a baby with expensive gifts it can’t even use is 100% something she would do. The Italian lullabies take more time, so he’ll start by translating them line-by-line (during which he realizes for the first time just how morbid some of them are…) and then singing it slowly so Peach can join in and mimic his intonation.
And since lullabies can get pretty repetitive, he’ll take regular breaks to sing different songs to her so she doesn’t go crazy. The truth is, she could never grow tired of his voice, no matter how many times he repeats the same handful of stanzas… but she certainly won’t object, because he’s sang for her more in the past month than he has in all the time she’s known him.
It feels a bit silly when she thinks about it, two grown adults singing children’s songs back and forth to each other all night. But those songs become part of their daily repertoire, and every time Mario starts sleepily murmuring one with his head on her chest and a hand on her stomach, or every time she approaches him in the middle of the day just to ask if she’s pronouncing a line correctly; every time she hears him humming about Fra’ Simon in the shower and then groaning about it being stuck in his head, and every time he tries to surprise her in the garden after their duties are complete for the day, only to find her singing the same song while rubbing soothing patterns over her belly; they both fall a little bit harder for one another.

Hello Vocal Synth Fans
Hi Voca-Fans! We're the Voca-Radio Project, a team of fans and enthusiasts of vocal synthesizers like Vocaloid, SynthV, CeVIO, and we're working to make a legitimate 24/7 online radio featuring the works of Vocal Synth users and Utaite from around the world and make discovering new music more accessible for all of you. Synths like Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto and KAFU have broadened our horizons and we hope to share that culture with more people. If this sounds like something you'd like to support, be sure to check out our first demonstration we'll be streaming on 11/18 at 12PM PST. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/live/6cuU9OiR908?si=huOOVbWBPPOEnbBe

The gender parameter in SynthV is formant shifting, but which formants I wonder? F1? F2’? A combination of various formants?

(Technically I have Tsurumaki Maki AI lite (the voicebank, with an anime-style character visual) but I forgot to check the exact name of the product so the first one just said it’s the lite version haha..)
Tumblr media
I was trying to draw my interpretation of Maki (on the right) but it’s been a while and I didn’t focus too much on details when I drew the one above. I still like her decoration behind her left ear though

So, for those who don't know, I have a video series on YouTube that demonstrates the Vocal Modes and Cross-Lingual Synthesis capabilities of Synthesizer V AI libraries, primarily to help people make purchasing decisions.
I just uploaded videos for the new child vocals, Lin Lai, and Yun Quan. Check them out if you're interested!

Wanted to do some headcannons for some versions of the Microsoft Speech Synths (And a few others) from a personal Universe of mine
A lot of these are heavily inspired by the various MS Sam reads funny errors series I enjoyed watching on YouTube long ago and my own verse in a way so I give credit to the various creators whom I have forgotten the names of.
I’ve also used Picrew to give you guys a visualization on what my verse version of these guys look like (I was originally going to go with stick figures with these guys early on but decided to update their designs)
NOTE: I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE PICREWS USED, THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS AND WILL BE CREDITED AND LINKED BACK TO
I’ll make a part 2 to this later on
A brief overview: All of these characters mentioned are what we would call a Synth. Synthians are a race that are almost indistinguishable from humans save for a few key features such as their voice and eyes. They function almost identically to humans and other living beings but also have their own quirks and goofiness that I won’t be going into detail on this post (And also because the personal AU they come from is a mish-mosh of different universes and frequently says screw the rules of space and time)
Synths can be divided into two distinctive categories: Regular Synths (IE: Sam, Mike, Mary) and Vocal Synths (IE: Miku, Len, Luka) based on their vocal patterns
Samuel Andrew Microsoft (MS Sam)
(Picrew by krmr, https://picrew.me/ja/image_maker/523501)
Tumblr media
The obnoxious and chaotic of one the Microsoft triplets
Can be a bit of a jerkass at times (yet unlike some of his other counterparts, this version is actually a pretty decent Synthian) but does actually care a lot for his close friends/family and will stand up for them should the need arise
Has a speech impediment which is what helped him gain fame/infamy? (It depends on who you ask)
Enjoys giving people he’s friends with a hard time. His favorite target is his brother Mike since he finds it amusing when he gets riled up.
After him and his siblings were “retired” (aka fired) from their job as computer assistances and went their own separate ways, Sam spent quite a while as a drifter looking for a purpose. He took various odd jobs here and there up until he got to where he is now and reunited with his siblings aboard the starship they are now members of the crew (Once again, more personal lore stuff but Sam is the First Officer)
Is strangely obsessed with tacos (Something else I snagged)
Rather skilled at using vehicles and weapons
Does not have a filter and will actively curse, unless it is around younger Synths/humans/other races or if it is a professional matter.
Does not like Vista (Another obvious thing I snagged). This also goes for a specific drink known as Vista Soda which is another running gag I have with him.
Micheal Oliver Microsoft (MS Mike)
(Picrew by マサキ, https://picrew.me/ja/image_maker/54346)
Tumblr media
The smart and serious one of the the Microsoft triplets
Often the butt-end of a lot of his brother’s jokes since he’s known to get snappy and have a pitch shift when he gets annoyed/scared
Currently works as a doctor aboard the Starship Whistler (one of the very few Synthian docs in the universe since most of their kind tends to work in jobs relating to either entertainment or technology) and has gained fame for his research into various diseases of the universe and helping to develop cures for them
A very minor one but he wears glasses
Has a tendency to speak very literally and sarcastically. Also fond of using big words but will often slip into tendencies that his brother has (usually cursing) when off duty or alone in his office.
Utterly terrified Hachunes and Mikudayios (Common organisms on what many Synths consider to be the Synthian home-world (aka “Earth 2”) outside of Earth. They are kinda like pigeons or something similar (even though Earth 2 does have pigeons), many Regular Synthians do consider them pests though the can be tamed/befriended and are just as intelligent as a human.) As soon as he sees or hears one of those creatures he will either bolt or lock himself in his office/room. Same goes for the song Lleven Polka which is often used as a measure to attract wild Hachunes, Sam has used this as a few times.
Can get serious when the time calls for it. This usually occurs during medical emergencies.
Has an obsession with soda.
Almost always has some sort of supplies on hand at all times. This especially goes for if the need ever arises to defend himself. Mike is very knowledgeable about most sentient races anatomy and can easily incapacitate an attacker (or if they are lucky, a simple sedative jab to the neck)
Marybell Anne “Mary” Microsoft
(Picrew by マサキ, https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/167775)
Tumblr media
The motherly and kind one of the trio
Mary is a lot calmer compared to her brothers. She’s not as easy to set off and will not pick on others
Prefers to stay away from Sam’s antics and is usually the one to scold him when Mike isn’t around.
She’s a really good cook and went to culinary school sometime after her and her sibling’s retirement.
Opened a diner back on Earth 2 sometime before she joined the Whistler, it is currently being managed by a good friends
Very protective of her recipes (She will smack you with a pan if you dare try to steal them)
It’s very rare that you will hear her curse at anyone, unless she is really upset
Fond of reading and also enjoys gardening
Grandpa SAM / Samuel Mack PlainTalk (S.A.M / Software Automatic Mouth)
Grandfather to the triplets, and the one who raised the trio
Personality-wise, he’s best described as an older version of MS Sam who has mellowed out.
A big dork and somewhat of a flirt
While he may be an older Synth who mainly likes to play poker, he’s still rather found of video games (Something that he shares with his grandkids)
Good friend with a few Vocal Synths (Namely Leon, Lola, Miriam, and Meiko whom he met before the latter hit it big in a small bar on Earth 2 (The former two who now run the place), and even introduced Sam to them)
While he usually just goes by Grandpa Sam, his full name is a nod to his other family. He’s considered the father of the Mac Family of Synths (Something that he keeps well hidden from his grandkids.)
Annabelle “Anna” Blackcomb (MS Anna)
Not related by blood to the Microsoft Trio.
Anna is described as rather reserved and a bit shy
Not a lot do her past is known other then the fact that she was the replacement for the Microsoft trio and was later quietly fired
She has a stutter (speech delay)
She’s quite skilled with a sword
The Microsoft Trio never met her up until they joined the Whistler and found her on an ice moon (This has some major lore stuff for a character I’m not ready to fully reveal)
The person she would consider that she is closest to outside of an old pin pal from years ago is Mike. He was the one who found her and the one who spent the most time trying to get her to open up and trust them
