I recently did an UTAU tuning competition with this song and didn't win. Everybody was REALLY good. Despite this, I still think this turned out pretty well considering the fact that I've only been tuning for about two months. Not only that, but I've developed new techniques to make UST's from scratch and make the tuning sound more natural. I learned a lot!

The theme for the contest was "SMALL/UNKNOWN PRODUCERS" and the producer of this song I chose is named 芳田 yoshida. They deserve WAY more views and subscribers than they have right now. So, please check them out and tell them ZaneChihuahua sent you.

As a reminder, I'll be looking for some artists to make some official art for ZaneChihuahua as more of those voicebanks are released. It doesn't need to be a Chihuahua either. It can be a furry or a human for all I care, but a Chihuahua will be the canon design. If you're interested in me offering you a commission, or if you want to recommend someone, then shoot me an email from my website. Just make sure to show me some of your/their work somehow.

High-quality version here:

I think your tuning is not bad! :smile:
You also have the backing vocals there. May I know the winner? I want to know how good it is. :O

What I think is lacking is, honestly, the mixing. The music is quite strong, and the voice is kinda soft.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I messed up on some lyrics so that was most likely why I lost. oof. The one you're seeing is the edited version. They were judging the tuning of the main vocals only. I figured I should have made the vocals stand out just a TINY bit too.
Anyway, there was a tie for first place. Mellun and some other person that I can't find the YouTube channel of. Their discord is "rins_fourier_transform#2303." One of them actually happens to be a cover of the same artist I did too just a different song. These are the song:

Hmm, now that I think more about it, if it was only a tuning competition, people should be using the same song, with the same voicebank, and without any music. Like what if the judges like this song better, or that song. It's not fair.

That actually makes sense. They usually make themes for people to follow. This theme was "SMALL/UNKNOWN PRODUCERS"
