Hi there! I'm recording a monopitch Japanese VCV and CV voicebank, and I'd like to hear ur guy's feed back on what extras that you like and/or prefer in a voicebank? Like end breaths, glottal stops, or even language mimicking capabilities. This is just an opinionated thread so just recommend anything u'd like!

I generally like to include all of the consonants in English. Here's a list of CVs that aren't covered in standard Japanese.
Code:
ti tu
di du
che
je
fa fi fe fo
va vi vu ve vo
tha thi thu the tho ("th" as in "thin")
dha dhi dhu dhe dho ("th" as in "that")
si
zi
she
zha zhi zhu zhe zho
hu
la li lu le lo
rra rri rru rre rro (English R)
ye
wi we

Add a scream sample. Fry your vocal chords while doing it.

Just one or two scream samples.


Oh and flex on people by adding a set of norwegian samples if you find some decent samples to understand it off of, that being æ, ø, å, and kj- samples. (kj is becoming more rare but it's still used.)

In Arpasing/VCCV/CVVC English reclist:
- ALL [V V] sounds like [{ @]
- ALL [C C] sounds like [s k]
- Edge pitch/vocal fry pitch ['{], end [AE 'Q]
- glottal stops [aI ・e]
- inhales and exhales [br @] and [@ R]
(This things will be included in my CVVC+ English reclist)

In VCV/CVVC/VCV:
- Edge pitch/vocal fry pitch ['あ], end [い ' あ]
- glottal stops [う ・お]
- inhales and exhales [br あ] and [a R]
