I'm unfamiliar with many English vowels and aggghhhh my [ u ] sounds too much like how Vocaloid Maika says it

Why two "i" sounds, why there's a sound between [a] and [o], what da heck is "V" ect...

People thinks that my English is funny-sounding, so... OTL

I know what you mean. "i" and "I" sounds the same to me ;-; and "@" is unknown. I tend to say "{", "A", or "E/e" in the words that use it...

One word! arpasing.

The pain of having stressed and unstressed vowels. Or was it rounded and unrounded...

I've heard arpasing is much simpler and has fewer of those sounds. Plus, the purpose of UTAU is self-expression! Your accent is part of who you are. Personally, I find all languages and accents simply fascinating, so I think having an accented English VB would be really cool.

@PrinceofHades Actually, all of those vowels are there. It's just easier to pronounce since it's in a word based form.

I honestly recommend listening to the samples on Wikipedia IPA/X-SAMPA pages to practise or just listen to a few banks, UTAU and Vocaloid.

Q sounds ugly when I say it ; { is a true pain though now i handle it better, I tend to merge @, 3 and V into @ despite being able to be rhotic for 3 and ar, ir, etc I tend to pronounce unvoiced th as a slight f when I'm tired or singing/speaking fast etc OTL""' ;;;

ye try arpasing :'v i got a shieddy accent too with most of the vowels sound the same but it still turned out pretty good than vccv, dunno why

Maybe I should give a try for it - oto it will be hell because cannot generate it - but I guess that there's no other good choices then T0T)

yer trying vccv?

@Fanicom I have little tried out recording VCCV before and found out that that VB type is difficult to record without an "awkward accent".

With the "awkward accent" thing I mean that specific sounds when are used sounds always very VERY forced and unnatural no matter which VCCV Eng VB is used (I can only think 2 expectations tho). And it's because how it's recorded, especially with CC's
