How to make UTAU sound powerful? Scream? Etc.?

[Fimbulvetr]

Wow I ask way too many questions on here

Hi, everyone! So today I'm trying to cover Big Brother with a character, and I was wondering, how can you make UTAU sound more powerful, with flags and stuff? (If it's possible)

And for screamo. Like how YanHe sounds in "Newborn", for example. I know Chareisis is a common one, and I have it, but I'm not 100% sure on how to use it. Does anyone have any good default settings that are good for UTAU screamo?

Thanks in advance!

For the screamo, You have Chareisis but if you used this with VocaScreamer, you can have a good sound, but the problem is... That sound good with Vocaloid and on UTAU it's... Special :

sound like a shower but i not try with my new settings. You can add a distortion. I think in Newborn, Senjougahara Yousei, the producer play with distortion and Flanger or Phaser, for me, that not sound with a special screaming VST.

I made a tutorial on screaming in utau not too long ago:



And as for making it sound more powerful... Maybe try setting the BRE to 0? You could try setting the modulation to about 10 as well but idk how well that would work.

Hope this helps!

So what are the scream VSTs is Bassdrum Renda-P and Gosaro-P use? Should i use these?

These are the settings I used to use! I usually used both together but...
Nowadays I just use whatever feels better for the song (VocaScreamer or Charsiesis, rarely I use both)
To make the sliders on any of these go up or down just move the mouse while clicking on any of them up or down

Be careful with VocaScreamer, settings that are on the extremes are not usually very good and might break your ears.
I suggest playing with VocaScreamer's settings.

For Charsiesis wich is more distortion-scream, you can as well just play with the settings but the most important one is Voices, it gives that distortion.
That's what I remember from the top of my head!

For flags... I'm not sure. I know I already covered Big Brother but the voice I used was powerful already so I didn't use any other Flags that were not the voicebank's.
Sorry!

EDIT:
In FL Studio, there's a plugin called Hardcore. If you have FL you can play with the default settings the plugin has. I think the plugin comes with the software, I can't remember.
There's even some screamo specific effects like "Deathmetal's Friend" (there's 2 versions) and some others.
You can also use those.

EDIT 2 lmao:
As far as I remember I used one of these plugins when I mixed my Big Brother cover.
But I don't remember wich one or in wich specific settings.

Thanks! But how about the scream VST that Shiromeshi uses?

I'm genuinely not sure. But you can try playing with these settings and maybe you can get the effect?
