[align=center][b]~What is ボーカロイド? ~
[align=center]ボーカロイド (Pronounced as Bōkaroido, Translated to Vocaloid) is a singing voice synthesizer. Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in 2000 (the same team that later founded Voctro Labs.) and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project. Backed by the Yamaha Corporation, it developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid."The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. It uses synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. A piano roll type interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each note. The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice. Each Vocaloid is sold as "a singer in a box" designed to act as a replacement for an actual singer. The software was originally only available in English starting with the first Vocaloids Leon, Lola and Miriam and Japanese with Meiko and Kaito, but Vocaloid 3 has added support for Spanish for the Vocaloids Bruno, Clara and Maika; Chinese for Luo Tianyi and Yan He; Korean for SeeU, Catalan for Ona, and French for ALYS.
[align=center][color=black][b]How Does ボーカロイド Work?!~
[align=center]The Vocaloid singing synthesizer technology is categorized as concatenative synthesis, which splices and processes vocal fragments extracted from human singing voices in the frequency domain. In singing synthesis, the system produces realistic voices by adding information of vocal expressions like vibrato to score information. The Vocaloid synthesis technology was initially called "Frequency-domain Singing Articulation Splicing and Shaping" (周波数ドメイン歌唱アーティキュレーション接続法 Shūhasū-domain Kashō Articulation Setsuzoku-hō?), although Yamaha no longer uses this name on its websites. "Singing Articulation" is explained as "vocal expressions" such as vibrato and vocal fragments necessary for singing. The Vocaloid and Vocaloid 2 synthesis engines are designed for singing, not reading text aloud, though software such as Vocaloid-flex and Voiceroid have been developed for that. They cannot naturally replicate singing expressions like hoarse voices or shouts, but Appends are made to create different tones such as "whisper" and "power".

[align=center][color=black][b][] Personality You Want Them To Have: []
[align=center][color=white][i]A energetic and bubbly-like male with a most ecstatic personality. But when you get on my bad side, you will receive a childish, and immature personality with tons of whining as well as ignoring you, and/or crossing my arms, pouting, looking away from you, or doing all of these INCLUDING ignoring. But When Embarrassed, I Tend to Stutter and Blush a Crimson Red and It is Quite Obvious When I'm Nervous. When I'm Scared I Will Begin to Stutter and/or Tremble and will Curl my Lip and Will Grab my Arms and Will Begin Getting Chills.
