Hello! This holiday season, I'm happy to introduce a Secret Santa exchange! This exchange is a way to celebrate another winter here in the forums, and to have a sense of community! The gifts will be songs (originals or covers) with the gift recipient's UTAU voicebank(s). One user can submit up to 3 UTAUs, and the user making your gift can choose to use all of them or use one or two. Spots aren't limited. Postings will be on SoundCloud or YouTube, depending on whatever suits one's needs.

The matching process will be on Draw Names, where it will be through an email list. Make sure to check your emails, because it will inform you who you are making your gift for, and their UTAU information. No one will get repeat names and everyone will get a gift. I will also open pinch hitter spots. in case anyone drops out or are otherwise unable to give a gift. For pinch hitters, PM me to apply. Spots aren't limited.

Here's a timeline of dates to know:

Application: November 16 - November 21.
Gift Recipients will be sorted on November 24. The three days in between are also the prime time to drop out of the exchange without affecting the drawing.
All finished products will be posted on Christmas Day, by 12 PM EST. Here's a countdown timer. The earliest one can post is on Christmas Eve, starting at 12 PM EST.

Chill music is recommended.
General Notes: If you need his art/color pallete you can see it it here, you can draw him wearing whatever outfit you wants!

I recommend using fresamp14. Also, the voice may have a lot of accidental vocal fry since I was a bit sick during recording.
Are there any genres/types of songs/specific songs you absolutely do not want your UTAU(s) to cover?): Nope.

A quick reminder to those involved in the exchange: if you haven't accessed the group, you must do so, as the drawing cannot be completed if not everyone has joined.

Whichever way you wish, as long as your Secret Santa can see it! I'm planning to release it publicly today, but if you feel more comfortable sending it privately, you can do so.
