How to Create Multipitch Voicebanks - A comprehensive guide on creating multipitch and multiexpression UTAU voicebanks.

This tutorial is crossposted from my website. It assumes at least a basic knowledge of UTAU.

What are Multipitch Voicebanks?

Multipitch is a general term used to describe voicebanks recorded at more than one musical pitch, measured in semitones such as F3, C5, A#2, etc. These can sound more naturalistic compared to monopitch voicebanks as they preserve more of the natural tone...

You can edit voice colours in the character.yaml file? Interesting, I never knew that!
Also, great tutorial- most multipitch tutorials are too confusing for beginners or outdated, so it’s nice to see someone going back to the basics and writing tutorials with modern technology in mind

I wish i knew how to do a more light, vivid, or solid voice, so i could record similar appends to Mikus.

A lot of it is just gaining more awareness and control over the muscles in your vocal tract in order to produce different sound qualities, even if not consciously; my recommendation is to find human singers who you want to sing more like and try to match their performance (it's easier than trying to match synthesized vocals).

Another component is just practice and perseverance. Singing is a skill that few people are naturally "gifted" at, but anyone can get better over time if they keep at it.

Lastly though is the fact that every person's mouths and throats are different shapes and sizes; the techniques used by Saki Fujita or any other singer for that matter aren't going to necessarily yield the same result in every person who tries them.
