I opened Utaforum homepage and someone passed by
"What's this? That weird Japanese site again? Stop it..you're just wasting time."

Please...First, this isn't japanese site. Second, we're not only creating Japan songs/covers/banks here, we do other languages too.
Third, Please understand my explanation -Explains utau to the person, and my plan with it-
....But they keep thinking utau is always japan-related and useless. :orly:

Ahhh there's a lot
"Stop chanting to the devil" when recording
My dad will also copy me with a horrible accent that makes me want to die
"Why aren't you studying instead?" Because I don't need to know how to find the circumference of a trapezoid to be a music producer
"This is why you have no REAL friends" Why the **** do you care? And anyway, I have plenty of friends that are there for me way more than you are. And even though me and my friends might not meet irl for a while, I still care for them with all my heart and my -small- soul
"What are you doing?" -explains otoing- "... Why?" ... Why do you care?
"You can't make any money from making stupid Japanese weeaboo shit music" ... I make 3 times the money you do cutting hair, so shut up, okay?

There's more but honestly I'm too lazy to type them all ded

when someone says something obviously demonstrating that they don't understand the sheer amount of effort that goes into making/using utau.

Mom: "Stop wasting your time making your own robot and go outside and make real friends."
Me: "I do have friends irl..."
Dad: "You might get a virus with that command prompt thing. And it's gonna be your fault if that happens."
Me: "Dad it's fine it's supposed to do that. "
Dad: "THEN THAT'S A VIRUS PROGRAM DELETE IT"

My little brother imitates me with a terrible over-english-y (it's a word now hah) accent.

So in my family, only my big brother seems to be interested. :annoyed:

Becuase... Most of singers now a day sound like this

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ISN'T TRUE.

Current music i would say has grown more mechanical sounding depending on what genre you're listening to, but that's based off of mixing and again, musical style. It does not mean that the artist themselve is talentless even if there ARE people out there who CAN'T sing that are still famous, I would say most— no, a majority of singers are not that way

"You could just play her without an oto though", my friend literally said this earlier, it was so irritating >.< Like. oto is the backbone of a voicebank, be patient! She wants to hear my utau and apparently thinks that all that's required is recording then I'm completely done.... Nope
[doublepost=1490721451][/doublepost]Also why do people ask for requests especially with difficult utau like Teto and Meiji? If they think it's so easy they can download the whole thing themselves and try it! >.< Ranting lol bc ppl must know the struggle. I also hate when people take hard work in utau as no big deal, and that it looks easy. >.< IT IS NOT EASY.

,,Is that a VOCALOID?''

nope

,, What the hell is she singing?''

A Japanese song in Japanese. You wouldn't understand even if it would be in English.

,, Why does she look like/sound like Luka/Miku/Rin/Gumi?! Are you stealing their voices??!''

Look at the title please and go google it. And, what, can't other non-fictional characters have pink/blue/green/yellow hair without you coming in here and being triggered and having a major childish tantrum? You can go back to playing Pokémon.

,, Why is she singing so low? What horrible singing.''

Not as horrible as Justin Bieber's/Ariana Grande behaviors to other people. At least, mine will not hurt you or worse. (you decide)

And a possible scenario that can happen:

,, Hey, that character is already made from someone else! You're stealing/taking credit that isn't yours!!''

Eh, excuse me? It's MINE. So, if you can kindly give me the link to the one who ah a 'similar' character than mine - I would like to have a chat with them and call for reinforcement.

mom: "miku is annoying please stop"
mother whay have you forsaken me

younger sis: she recorded a reclist without bgm and it lacked an oto guideline so "what's taking so long for you to oto?!??1?" 'ts kinda my fault for not finding a proper reclist tho so rip (spoilers: i abandoned it GOOD B Y E )

my friends are good beans but they pronounce utau as yoo-tow and that might be annoying for some of you lol

idk i'd rather stay away from the idea of talking about utau with people unless it's obvious that they know their stuff

This is like with every non-UTAU people:

"Is this YOU singing this?"

Eh, no????? Even tho I voiced the voice bank doesn't mean that singing voice that you hear is human me singing.

"How your UTAU can sounds like that he/she sounds completely different than you!??"

Have you ever heard word "voice acting"?????

"Wow, it sounds so high technology! You're so smart, I could never do ever a simple voicebank or whatever it is called - an you-tha-uh?!? The coding of voice bank must be very difficult and make in sing an all, sounds very complicated!"

... (I don't even code anything nor make UST/MIDI myself... I only voice, configure VBs and write reclists)

"What is your hobby?"

UTAU

"What is that?!?"

*explains what UTAU is*

"What, I don't understand. What do you do in that? Singing? Making robots?! I don't get???"

*sighs* Basically, it's a chanting chaman's magic words in a closet KAKAKIKAKUKEKA in 2 octaves and repeat that 299 times and then I cut different "sounds" of each chanting (e.g. "ka" "ya" la"), then glue those sounds together in UTAU: select a length and pitch of sound and ta-dA it sings!

Once I was talking with a guy that knew about VOCALOID about DEX & DAINA and they were like "They're not VOCALOIDs, they're "Utaloids" and I was like "u bih I use UTAU since 2-3 years I MAY know the difference" but I just tried to explain them calmly who DEX & DAINA were, but I don't think they've given attention to me.

My friend thinking that Makiko's full name is UTAUMakiko when I told them a thousand times that it's Honoune Makiko.

The same friend that, when I was using Kanochi Neko, said: "Wow, is it you???" and then I got mad.

"It's Japanese, why do you listen to that, do you understand what they say?!"
Or "This is shitty music, listen to real one!" and then they listed to trashy/cringey/trivial Italian rap.

"Why is it so strange?", while I'm otoing and they're in front of the damn screen.

Fortunately, my mother and my sister are OK with it and even if my mom doesn't understand it that much, she's always happy when I achieve something nice using UTAU/VOCALOID.
I'm not sure about my father, he once just told me "Wouldn't it be easier singing it by yourself?" and then I replied that it is more funnier and full of possibility, since my range is quite reducted.
