Most number of UTAUs owned by one person?

[Skul4eva]

Me and my friend were discussing how many UTAUs she's gonna make, and we wondered how many UTAUs the person who owns the most UTAUs has. This includes voice derivatives.
So, does anyone know how what the most number of UTAUs owned by one person is?
(If anyone is wondering, I have 3, and she has 5 released, 4 to be recorded and 13 that she might possibly make, which makes a total of 22 if she makes all of them)

There's only so many voicetypes you can do.

I can do roughly 4....

I only have one UTAU and that's Iris but you should know there's a difference between owning an UTAU and voicing an UTAU. Cause you can own an UTAU without having voiced it, lots of people do it.

They get friends or family to voice act for them but the UTAU still belongs to them because they technically created the design and character and are responsible for anything related to the UTAU like updates, rules in regards to the UTAU, websites, etc.

So...are you looking for the person who has voiced the most UTAU or who just owns the most UTAU? Either way I think 22 might be hard to keep up with because you'd have to ensure each voice is used and updated enough so that they are not considered "dead" and if she's voicing ALL of them you'd have to make sure no two sound exactly the same or else what's the point in having them ;;

The most I know of one person convincingly voicing (without sample editing, that's a bit of a different matter) is eight?  But she's a freaking wizard, and besides that generally pretends that two of those don't exist... So, we can safely say six.

Honestly, you can manage as many UTAU as you want to and feel capable of managing, but as far as voicing I really don't advice voicing more than a small few.  Most people can manage to voice two, maybe three; four or five is possible for better voice actors, and if you're a wizard like the aforementioned, then do your thing.  Or if you edit your samples I guess, but that still takes some skill...

HOWEVER.  I don't recommend starting out with more than one or two banks--until you've made sure you know how to use UTAU and do a good job making a couple of banks, it's no good at all to start making a whole bunch.  Then you end up with a bunch of UTAU that are all mediocre to crappy in quality and you can't even keep track of them all. :I 

Personally I have a hard enough time keeping just THREE voicebanks updated, one of which is not my voice (and it's hard to get recordings for because we don't live together).  But I never even have enough time to record for the two I voice so I mean;;;; don't be stupid, you can really only do so much.

I think one person manages like 20 UTAU that they don't voice, but I'm not even sure.

(I've also voiced three other one-off banks that I don't talk about; only one of those was ever released, but I consider it dead because I have no intention of working on it.  Oh yeah, and I sort of manage a fourth bank that I don't voice that I just always forget exists.)

I'm wondering though, what do you mean "voice derivatives"? Like extensions/appends?  Those definitely don't count as separate UTAU...

Thanks for all the replies so far~

She's not going to voice them all. One is voiced by her cousin, one will be voiced by her brother, and I'm going to try and voice one for her. A few of them are also her UTAUs with different flags.
But she says her 'voice can sing a ton of different ways'

I'm wondering though, what do you mean \"voice derivatives\"? Like extensions/appends?  Those definitely don't count as separate UTAU...

I don't mean Appends and Extents. I mean using different flags to make a new voice out of an existing voice, with its own design and personality. Like Genderbends.

I myself only have 4 UTAUs though, and one's being voiced by my friend.

I don't consider those real UTAU, except in very rare special cases.  Needs to have its own voicebank to be one, unless Ted Kasane or maybe Akio Kikyuune.

I have 5 in total, 1 being voiced by someone else.
Believe me, apart from Suika (who is my natural voice) they were very hard to voice act. To sound different.

I've got one UTAU (actually two, but I pretty much ignore the second one) and I might or might not try to voice another UTAU for someone else at some point.

I think it's a lot easier to manage your UTAU projects when you only have a few UTAU voicebanks of your own to worry about. That way, you can give your UTAUs the love they need while also having plenty of time to use other people's UTAUs, too. And having fewer UTAUs will let you focus your efforts in one place to make a few really good UTAUs rather than a whole bunch of incredibly average UTAUs. Owning several banks isn't necessarily a bad thing and I'm sure some people can manage it, but I personally think it's easier to work with less.

There is a limit to how many voicebanks one person could voice and not have them sound the same. It also depends on how well they can voiceact and change the tone, accent, pitch, etc. I do not count voice derivatives as real UTAU. That is, like said before, they have an actual separate voicebank. The more UTAUs a person owns, the more likely that some of them will be forgotten and ignored because your attention on them is spread out.

I own two UTAU. One that is voiced by me and another voiced by another person. At first I wanted to own 4 UTAU to cover all the voice types (ex: mature female, mature male, shonen, shoujo) just for fun. Then I realized how hard it would be to manage all of them; to make sure none of them are ignored and shoved aside. So for me, two is my limit. Having more than one so I won't be bored with managing the same UTAU all the time, but having the right number so I can manage them easily.

That's alright, two is all I can handle ^^;

 

[shinami]

I design way too many UTAUs, most of which I've wanted to own but probably I shouldn't and maybe someday I'll give the designs away. (ahhhh toriyose polli my favorite of all that i will never make)

But I'm voicing three currently (maybe a fourth - in the future I want to make an english CV VC bank but I struggle with the pronounciation so it might end up sounding like me instead of one of my voiceacted banks so I'd have to make a new one), and believe me it is HARD to manage them. not to mention i'll be owning another one someday when i feel like forcing my brother to finish recording.

Maybe someone who covers frequently and is more of a plug and play person could handle 3-5+ UTAUs. But when you do things as infrequently as I do, are lazy at otoing/getting around to recording, and you mainly make USTs and demand the voice fits the songs...your babies get neglected like mine have. I'm constantly pushing back dates because I keep fiddling with one of the three, shifting to another one, getting distracted...

owning three babies is hard work
mommy is sorry for her children

It depends on how many voices you can do. There's a limit definitely.
If you break that limit, majority of utaus are going to sound the same.

whao adlez;; That's quite alot.

 

[Austria]

ok i think i'll own around 5

one is a jokeloid though so maybe 4
and one is voiced by another so maybe 3

but i've realized i suck at voicing so maybe 2
