Kaito V3 and Thoughts


I haven't stopped composing songs for him since I got my hands on him that day.
This is my first attempt, Seed of Devotion.
He sounded muffled in some parts, and some pronunciation is not very clear. I will work to improve on that.







Lyric:
From the ashes I rose
In this desolate land
finding a new reason to live on

Flowers with mask whispering constantly
I turned around and sided with ignorance
The sun gives light, shining brightly
But it burnt my skin unknowingly

I wondered long and far
to revive a sleeping emotion
Hidden and protected
a past long forgotten

Rain, so gentle, turned into ice
freezing my body, trapping my mind
The abrupt nothingness never healed me
but I reincarnated and became stronger

Winding sprouts devour my hand
it grew and prevailed
standing tall above me
undying and unhallowed

Awaken from my inner slumber
Wind... autumn wind...

I devote my life to love
I died, I revived, and I died again
This endless cycle turned so dull
I became the seed of devotion

devoted to the unholy evil

Here are some thoughts while I'm tuning him. These are some of the stuff I ran into while doing my current song, Mine for him. He has significantly improved in his English, but there are still blunders.
(Note: I'm using TinyVocaloid3 so there are some inconveniences here and there like linking some pronunciation together) There are some funny things that happen when editing him which I found quite similar to what happened in Vocaloid as well. When he sings something that is open like "car, that, sick," he will suddenly becomes very loud, making bumps in his phrases. I've tried tweaking dynamics, clearness, brightness and breathiness to smoothen it out. Although sometimes, just lowering the volume will do the trick, but it mostly sounds awkward.
I have yet to get a clear voice like what other experienced -Ps can get. I will continue experimenting.
Here's a funny pronunciation I found. "-ted"(tied with other words like fainted or granted) sounds like "tit" or "tid". I'm not sure why he is doing that because "ted" by itself is totally okay. Also it is hard to get him to sing "you" and "are" without them slurring together. If I shorten it too much, the "you" will not sound. I guess I'll need to do it multi-track to fix it. Default "clear" is not so clear, I am still finding alternatives.

And yea, that's what I think so far. I'm still trying to improve on my Vocaloid tuning skills. If you have suggestions, feel free to leave me a message or comment.

I'm loving Kaito and his voice, yes.
