Is there a voice type that you dislike/are tired of seeing?

I really don't like those bored-sounding baritones or those excessively deep-sounding males. They usually get buried in the instrumental, or just don't sound musical at all. For some reason, most male banks don't sound good to me at all.

Also, I have a problem with male vbs where the female voicer is evident. It doesn't sound right to me.

I think the problem probably isn't that bari/bass VBS can't be expressive or musical, they can. It's just that the Vocaloid/Utau Fandom revolves around musical styles that fit Higher, brighter voices. Usually women or higher male voice types. But I understand, they're hard to mix too.
Sometimes, a bored-sounding baritone might be singing out of range. a "baritone" vb can actually be a tenor voicer under-singing. (eg, As a Tenor, I can totally sing you an A2 but it's not that great compared to my C4 which I sing clearly and super comfortably.)

As for me I'm not too fond using too many articulations at once, I know it's realistic sounding at some extent but using a vocal fry, endbreath, whisper growl (just exaggerating lmao) all in one during every phrase is just too much!

If you don't like a vb, then don't use it cuz I bet there's other ppl who thinks otherwise. I really like any type of bank, I'm not that fussy. Also, I don't sing, I do try my best to record in tone. My motherthounge is Spanish so expect all my vb with Spanish accent... There's a lot of people who try their best to record an UTAU, I think we are asking too much. I remember when we where okay with a CV vb that sounded robotic.

(this is my opinion, I'm not that good expressing myself in English ;-; and I don't want to cause any troubles) es lo que entendí sobre lo que leí >.>

I'm getting sick of seeing a lot of voicebanks.. That sound like they have more of a robotic noise? (If you know what I mean?) and now seeing all the "hate" on kires, and power banks.. I have a feeling that two of my voicebanks won't be the most liked (Since I suck at changing the pitch of my voice)

Hey don't listen to them, I bet your kire vb sounds great. There's other people who will appreciate your hard work, and people who like kire banks. *hugs*

Don't worry. It's the same with me, only the hate is directed towards my UTAU's shonen voices.

it's awfully specific, but it throws me off a lot when there are JP voicebanks that have a really foreign-sounding T consonant. like the rest of the accent is done perfectly except for the T, lol
same with R but i guess it's a more common issue, but mostly with new utaus/beginners etc.
no hate of course, just irks me since i like consistency :p

oh wow uuuh i dunno honestly LOL, i have semi-good pronunciation i gueses because i used to be a weeaboo when i was REALLY young so i mimicked anime a lot. but in general my mother languages are hebrew and russian so i had a different base to start with, which is i feel closer to jp/asian languages than the english dialect. but i guess you can just practice a lot! there are videos of how to pronounce jp sounds on youtube probably. :D
