What am I meant to do if I'm considering an ACT 2 or APPEND?

[Taylor Savage]

I see lots of people with appends and act 2s but  don't know what to do to make them. I don't even know what APPEND really means. I know there are whisper and sort and sweet APPENDs but I really understand what they are and how they are used. Basically what is and APPEND and How do I make ACT 2s and APPENDs.

An act 2 is usually like a refurbish version of your previous voicebank. Usually you add more recordings, correct the oto., or redo some of your recordings.

An Append is basically you recording your voice with  different tones or feelings. Ex: Soft append: you may record your voice almost like a whisper or something. Power append: you may add more force to your pronunciations.

I hope this helped.

An "ACT2" is simply an upgrade in quality, if you feel your voice bank is... Lacking something, I guess.
So, if you recorded with an inbuilt mic, but someone just got you a shiny new Yeti, that might call for an "ACT2" (or version 2, or 2.0, or whatever you want to call it!), simply to upgrade the quality.
Or perhaps with your first voice bank you had a good mic, but you missed a lot of sounds and mispronounced everything and it simply isn't the tone you wanted. That could also call for an upgrade.

As for an "append", it's simply an extra bank of sound files meant to help your UTAUloid sing other genres. So! Say you want your voice bank to sing Toeto, but their vocal quality is really powerful, so they're pretty much screaming and can't sing a song that soft, you might make a whisper or cute or small voice bank for them by singing the samples in a softer voice.
That's about it, I think.
