I guess I could make the UST, then.
Ah... many of the pronunciations of your UTAU aren't correct. If I were you, I would re-record it. For example, the "e" sound isn't identical to "i". That would be redundant. Instead "e" sounds like the "e" in "pet" or "enter". Also, for the samples like "bya" and "mye" it's a single syllable. Slowed down it is like "bee-aaa", but it is more quick than that. It helps if you use a Japanese UTAU like Kikyuune Aiko, Shadoo, Kasane Teto etc. for a guide. Also, the "r" samples can be hard to pull of if you aren't used to Japanese r's, but you can sort of cheat with a quickly pronunced "l". So, Katsumi Hayashi will be a lot easier to work with if the pronunciations are correct.
Also, I noticed that some of the samples started a little too late so the consonant wasn't very clear. It's alright to have space in the beginning, in fact I think it makes it easier to oto.
Sorry if I sound bossy or picky or anything!! Good luck!

I found a method of recording UTAUs that works well for me where you say all the samples in one or a few recordings instead of one at a time. So, you would say,
"---- (pause)
a
----
i
----
u
----
e
----
o
----
ka
----
ki"
and so on.
Then you put the recording(s) in a simple editing program such as Audacity. In Audacity, which is what I use for it, you select each syllable with some extra silence at each end and then "Export Selection" in the File menu. It takes some time to do it all, but it totally works.
It's okay if you can't re-record now, though. We can work on the other parts first.

The thing about Egoist Legacy is that the focus is more on the story than the singers. I'm using no less than FOUR different voices for Quienne/Fey in her individual plot section. So your UTAU's personality and character and design and outfits, however rude this may seem, don't matter at all. The only thing I ask is that you find a suitable voice for the character that you are able to use well for lyrics in a language you can comprehensibly write.

For vocaloids, I have Rin&Len(Act2) and VY1V3. I'd be interested in doing something together if you'd like. I'd do something with UTAU as well, but it's up to you.

@Adlez27 That's alright with me, I just don't want to share my UTAU's voice at all with the public until she is released officially.

@HiddenVenia OK! I like those VOCALOIDs. I'm interested in sort of working with VOCALOIDs that I don't own. So, do you want to do a duet, a solo, or a trio with them?

I don't really have any ideas at the moment. Do you have an ideas as to what you want to do?

Nope :D
It would be interesting to have a duet with Rin and VY1. I haven't seen them used together. Or just one of those two on their own. It doesn't really matter what vocals we use.
but yeah... no ideas for a topic...

Any song you have in mind for them to sing together?

Not really... I just felt like doing things with other people for fun?? Maybe we could make a song about black. Yeh, black. Just darkness.

I don't see why not? Sounds like an okay idea to me.

OK. So, the BGM could be like... I dunno how to describe it exactly, but the majority is like underground-ish, I guess is how it feels to me? Just black-sounding. And cloudy. It could be a trance sort of genre.

Next weekend, I'll clean up the Skype group for Egoist Legacy. But I'm also going to be working on TBSO UTAUs which might take some time

I'll experiment and see if an instruments jump out at me as sounding "black" and "cloudy."

It would probably be simpler to re-record everything rather than hunt down all the bad samples. Glad you feel better!
Another thing: I found a sentence to help pronounce vowels if you need it: Ah (a), we (i) soon (u) get (e) old (o).

ok but then that could take as long as a week so if you wanted to do a collab with someone else first that would be ok
