Is it possible to modify a Japanese reclist to record a Spanish VB?

I am usually very pressed for time when recording a vb, so the reclist I usually use is about a 45 sample CVVC one, that is 100% complete in terms of necessary Japanese sounds. I’ve been thinking, however, of recording a Spanish VB.

Would it be possible for me to just modify this reclist instead of using a regular Spanish one since most of them I see have around 200 recordings, just by changing pronunciation and adding some sounds?

If so, what would I need to change or add?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t know much about the linguistics or Spanish.

Thank you

Technically yes, it is possible to modify a Japanese reclist suitable for Spanish too. Many consonant sounds are same/similar but there are few that don't exist in Japanese but does in Spanish, here are few:

j like in jajaja (a strong "h" like sound)
ll like in llama*
L sound
rr like in perro (rolled r sound)

Spanish z sound is like a "th" in English or a funny sounding "s" sound but I know dialects don't use z sound but uses s instead, so this can be skipped. V sounds are good to have as Spanish b isn't as "hard" as Japanese/English b.

*in some accents, ll is pronounced like JP じ, so you might skip this.

If you want that the VB is able to sing a good Spanish then I warmly recommend adding some CC and Spanish "u" sound in reclist too (Japanese u=/=Spanish u). Good CC to have are "pr" "tr" "ky" and "ks" (for more CC, please download a VCCV Spanish VB and see what CC recordings it has).

I know nothing about reclists, but hmu if you want some pronunciation tips! I'm only learning (European Castilian) but I can totally do it!
