Hello ! I'm new here, and I have recently relapsed into the Utau fandom, and especially into the voicebank creation side.
I do have experience with recording and otoing cv voicebanks, but I would like to go for a cvc voicebank for my current project. I found a reclist (this one) but the more I look at it, the less I understand how I am supposed to "voice" it, if that makes any sense, and I hope some people here could help me figure things out.
I remember that I would record my cv samples to be around 2 seconds long, with the vowels being longer (ex: I would pronounce "tsu" tsuuu, and not tsssu). Should I also do the same while recording a vcv ?
There's also some confusing parts about the reclist itself :
Some of the lines go like that a_a_e_... Should I pronounce both a ? Should I prounouce the line like aae ? I think I saw someone saying something about the first sound of each lines being for the alphabetical order in Oremo but I'm not sure about it so I'd rather ask if that's the case or not.
(I also noticed some very short lines beginning with n and having only one sound afterwards (ex: n_i, n_gya n_nyo,..). Should I ignore the n at the beginning ?)
And some line have the letter n in them (ex: n_n_a) and that somewhat confuse me. In the line e_e_o_e_n_e, n is both before and after an e. Does that mean that I should pronounce e_n like en (as in energy) and n_e like ne (as in nepal), or should I pronounce each sounds separately ?
The first tsu sound is the only one in the reclist that is "all alone". I am supposed to pronounce it too or not ?
And that's about all the question I have (and that I could think of) ! I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me with all of that. Thanks in andvance ! ^^
