By the way, what time of the year do most Westerners begin their summer vacation? (I'm from Asia, you see.)
Maybe around that we can begin our festival and a date to end the poll.
Most summer vacations are from May-August, but some are June-September.

Most summer vacations are from May-August, but some are June-September.
So maybe we should start maybe around early to mid-July? We could have around 3 weeks to prepare if we go with that.

Well, I live on Brazil, so the schedule is a lot different. My summer vacations are on December. But following USA's schedule, I guess June~August?

I live on Brazil as well. owo

I think it should happen around June and July. It would work pretty well I think for most people here. But everyone should say. c=

Since June is ending, could someone maybe volunteer to make an introductory video that tells what the festival is about and how to join? And maybe suggest the AviUtl plugin for making their video? (Of course, you don't need to make it all HANASU or something, but that would be awesome.)

I consider myself pretty good with talkloids and I could try, but I would only be able to use English UTAUs. Is that okay? Or.

Of course! This is for us English-speakers, after all! Do you think you could show us a draft/outline on what you'll be putting in the video so we can help you if there's something that needs to be explained in the video? (And I would want to see your talkloid! ^^)

Glad everyone's excited! :smile:

This sounds really fun! I might join even though my classes already starts cuz I live in southeast asia lol
Also just a suggestion (if ever the optional one song for comparation thingy would be continued) maybe a base .ust would be provided (like no portamento no pitch bends just notes) idk just something I thought of lol

And one last thing, would engrish be ok (using a japanese vb for an english song rather than an english vb)

Anyways really looking forward for this :smile:

Question: How will the judges know we made/used a blank UST to make the tuning? The video should show it, right? So if I download a done UST, I will need to make it all blank right?

*worried cause I already tuned half an UST XD*

We're going for a festival rather than a contest, but yeah, if someone just plug-and-plays a nicely tuned ust, it would lose the point of the festival :/ I guess it's the poster's responsibility, since they would be looked down on if they claimed the tuning to be their own (but using an already tuned ust shouldn't be a problem if the tuning is changed).

I'm from SEA too! I'm on my 3rd week of classes already OTL
Speaking of the optional song, I kinda forgot about that OTL Any nominations? Since it's 【UTAUTuningFestival2016】, the optional song would have to be released this year.
I don't know any 2016 originals haha OTL

I could make a ust, since it's kinda my thing lol
Will be looking at some recent VOCALOID and UTAU Rankings to get an idea on some recent songs?

Edit: just looked at your profile out of curiosity and you're from the philippines too!

For new songs I recently found out about 2 UTAU originals which are "disambiguation" and "cynic" by Police Piccadilly (-p?) which then are sung by Yamine Renri and the tuning's just so ~hnnnn cuz of renri's vocal fry capabilities lol. They're both released this year (well that's what I saw on yt lol)

@Miawerz I forgot to add: there shouldn't be any problems with Engrish covers; trying to making your Japanese UTAU sound have accurate pronunciations is tuning as well!

I don't think we should all only start tuning when we decide the beginning of the festival. I myself am going to use a ust I started tuning almost last month (I'm not done with yet though). Unless anyone has objections?

By the way guys, how would you feel when you see something like this? :

I'm sorry in advanced

Feels a bit overwhelming/clustered with the flags displaying. I would either not show them at all, or make a text box with the flags in the corner of the video. That way you can still see the pitchlines clearly.

It's only that part that has those flags though ^^; Personally, with a growling tuning video, I believe that the method of producing the growls should be shown, but thanks for the input. Good thing I'm not planning on using this ust for the festival since around half of the tuning is retained from the original.

So like, I've almost got my video for the free song done (I also used screencap before seeing you linked a plugin specifically for UTAU capturing OTL)
Will we also have a mylist on NND? If so, should we also agree on a japanese tag for our videos?
