Closed Bad Apple!! English Chorus

I'm looking for dedicated English language UTAUs for use in a chorus for an English cover of Bad Apple!! from Touhou Project and potentially future choruses as well. I will be tuning, rendering, and mixing the cover myself. It will be uploaded to my Youtube channel (@FelineWasteland) and shared on my social media (Tumblr, Bluesky, etc.)

You may submit your own voicebank(s) or any others that you recommend; I'm looking for as many voicebanks as possible. You may also offer me suggestions informally, but I would prefer you to use the form: https://forms.gle/KeGVSCAJuHsNeL7h6

Please submit separate suggestions in separate forms -- this helps me stay organized and know what information goes with what voicebank!

Voicebanks made for specific accents or dialects, voiced by non-native speakers, created by less experienced users, etc. are all fair game. I am not screening for subjective "quality"; as long as I can download and use the voicebank and it matches the criteria below, it will most likely be included.

Criteria:

• Must be an UTAU voicebank -- there's nothing wrong with DiffSinger, it's just not what I'm looking for.
• Must have English as its primary language -- voicebanks made for other languages with English extras are excluded. Multilingual voicebanks with English as one of the primary languages will be examined on a case-by-case basis, but I might not use them if they don't have adequate phoneme support.
• Must be CVVC -- any method is fine, such as Salem CVVC, Delta CVVC, ARPAsing, VCCV, etc. CV and VCV are excluded because of lack of codas (and most English VCVs have inadequate phoneme support). C+V is excluded because it's a gimmick reclist and not really what I'm looking for. VCVVC will be examined on a case-by-case basis.
• Must be available for free public download or have a private download you have permission to share and would be willing to share with me.
• Must have transparent character art available for use in the video.
• No jinriki or other unauthorized derivatives -- voicebanks must not violate UTAU or OpenUTAU TOU.
• No RVC voicebanks -- I am not interested in English voicebanks which were created using RVC models even if they were made with permission. It's against the spirit of what I'm trying to show off here.

EDIT: Clarifying based on a comment received that the UTAU can have voicebanks available in multiple languages, as long as they have at least one English voicebank for use in the project.

I'm going to submit PIERO Antimony (quadpitch VCCV EN + fallback pitch without an accent) when I finish the official artwork for that bank, but first I would like to know if you're okay with a voicebank that's over 1 GB large?

Yeah, voicebank size shouldn't be a problem.

Wow, this is filling up faster than expected! I also had more English voicebanks saved already than I realized.

There's room about about 15 more voicebanks, but if I get more than I'm able to use I'll still check out the others and possibly use them in a future project.

All slots have been filled! Thanks for all the suggestions. If you wanted to submit one and missed it, I might do something like this again in the future.

All parts have been tuned and rendered now so I just need to mix the cover and make the video. Will hopefully be done and published relatively soon.

I hope PIERO’s English bank didn’t cause you much trouble, I know it’s kind of annoying to use. (´・∀・｀)
Also, just curious, did you recieve more submissions for ARPAsing, DELTA, S-CVVC or VCCV? I’m conducting a study to see which format does best with the community.

Not at all! Also, I actually did tally up and graph how many I ended up using in each format because I was curious.

In total:

• 27 VCCV banks (37.5%); 12 submitted (even if I already had them) + 15 I already had but weren't submitted
• 16 ARPAsing banks (25.0%); 13 submitted + 3 not
• 6 Salem-style CVVC banks (9.4%); 3 submitted + 3 not
• 5 Delta-style CVVC banks (7.8%); 2 submitted + 3 not
• 3 non-specified / custom CVVC banks (4.7%); all submitted
• 2 SEL-style CVVC banks (3.1%); both submitted
• 1 Aiko-style CVVC bank (1.6%); not submitted
• 1 Cdra-style CVVC bank (1.6%); not submitted
• 1 MEL-style CVVC bank (1.6%); submitted
• 1 GrayGlish bank (1.6%); submitted
• 1 Yin-style CVC bank (1.6%); submitted

I'm not sure how much this is actually representative of modern community trends since it's skewed heavily by the amount of older banks I had already downloaded (or remembered while I was working on this). The amount of VCCV to ARPAsing banks that were submitted to me was pretty even.

Edit: attached the graphs I made. Sorry for my colour choices lol
