What should I include in an UTAU exVOICE folder?

[feelingiconiic]

Howdy, so I'm creating a private UTAU-Synth Japanese CV/VCV/CVVC voicebank, and I'd like to include an exVOICE folder, however I'm not sure of everything that I'd like to include in it. I'd like to know what Yuzuki Yukari includes in her exVOICE folder, however I haven't purchased her exVOICE and I don't plan on buying Yukari or any VOCALOID for that matter as I'm only interested in UTAU. If anyone could inform me on what I should include in my exVOICE folder, please let me know! Thank you for your time!

Here's what I have so far on what I'm going to include in my exVOICE folder;

吸1 (fast breath)
吸2 (normal breath)
吸3 (slow breath)

息1 (fast exhale)
息2 (normal exhale)
息3 (slow exhale)

ため息1 (sigh)
ため息2 (sigh)
ため息3 (sigh)

笑い1 (giggle)
笑い2 (laugh)
笑い3 (laugh)

はい (hai, yes)
いいえ (iie, no)

ぜろ (zero, zero)
いち (ichi, one)
に (ni, two)
さん (san, three)
よん (yon, four)
ご (go, five)
ろく (roku, six)
なな (nana, seven)
はち (hachi, eight)
きゅう (kyuu, nine)
じゅう (juu, ten)

おねがいします (onegaishimas, please)
ありがとう (arigato, thank you)
どういたしまして (dooitashimas, you're welcome)
すいません (suimasen, excuse me)
ごめんなさい (gomennasai, I'm sorry)
おはようございます (ohayoogozaimas, good morning)
こんにちは (konnichiwa, good afternoon)
こんばんは (konbanwa, good evening)
おやすなさい (oyasuminasai, good night)
はじめまして (hajimemashite, nice to meet you)
おあいできてうれしいです (oaidekideureshiides, it's very nice to meet you)
わかりません (wakarimasen, I don't understand)
わかります (wakarimas, I understand)
おげんきですか (ogenkideska, how are you)
げんきです (genkides, I'm good)

うたうしんせ (utaushinse, UTAU-Synth)

Again, thank you for your time!

There's not really any kind of agreed upon standard for what should or shouldn't be included for extras, so really it's up to you.

Imo it's most useful to include spoken things that are likely to come up in songs, since it's meant to accompany a singing synth. For example, numbers, "hey", "yeah", "go", "さあ", ねぇ", "come on", "ha", "woo", other various shouts and things, etc. Ultimately, it's not a TTS, so I don't find including regular greetings and phrases all that useful, cuz it's not like you can arrange and synthesize a full spoken conversation or monologue from recorded phrases.

But beyond just the things that have practical use in music, including spoken extras is a great opportunity to show off some of your character's personality. If your character has any catchphrases, or things that they would say a lot, or anything that really displays their character, those would all be great to include. (Iirc, Arsloid did a lot of this)

[Edit]
And while I don't find the stock textbook phrases and greetings useful as phrases, they can also be a good opportunity to show of some personality. Eg instead of just a plain spoken "おはよう", maybe your character hates mornings, so you could have them complain about the time or have them say おはよう while yawning. I notice the list you give is very very polite, but maybe your character isn't generally very polite. If they're really in your face and boisterous, you could include greetings that reflect that instead. Y'know, stuff like this I think gives it a lot more personality than just reading off what sounds like the first page of chapter 1 of a Japanese textbook

Ahhh sorry for the late response, but thank you so much for this feedback! I understand what you mean when you say that it's not a TTS, I've never really used exvoiced before so I'm quite inexperienced haha ;-;. My voicebank currently doesn't have a set character, as I'm planning to save that part of the process after I finish the voicebanks and other technical stuff (Just to help myself from not getting "burnt-out", since my attention span is pretty bad). My voicebank isn't voice acted in any way, so I'm more than likely just going to put off recording exvoices until I understand what "personality" my natural voice gives me, so I don't just slap a random character that doesn't fit my voice on there. So far though, my character would probably be a little serious, but i think glamour, attitude, and some professionalism would fit her pretty well! Anyways I don't mean to ramble, but again I appreciate this a lot!
