The best advice I can give for these is to add some defining feature that makes them unique from their inspiration. Many UTAU designs were/are inspired by existing Vocaloids or the Macne series. Commissioning another artist may be an option if money is no object.
In fact, there’s quite a few UTAUs in existnce who started out as picrew OCs.

Even using a picrew or a free to use base is better than tracing(as long as it’s allowed). The best advice for designs is to not trace any other art, official or not! If you trace, say, a Kei art, people will notice and their view of your UTAU may sour. Character design is subjective and a very complex topic, so I’ll just sum up some tips for UTAUs that I kept in mind. UTAUs may get more publicity than your OCs that aren’t tied to some other known property, so many want to give them good and memorable designs. UTAUs are all part of the same “category” of vocal synths, so having a name similar to another can make it hard for people to find info about your UTAU.Ĭhoosing to not give your UTAU a design is feasible, but that’s also a conscious choice. Looking at Vocadb and UTAU wiki is an easy way to check for that. Speaking of appends, the most straightforward way to name them is by voice type (Solid, Soft, etc) but unique names are fun too! I named all of Lycoris’ vbs after phases of the moon and have stuck with that choice.Ī good tip is to not give your UTAU a name that already exists in UTAU land. Having a single UTAU with many updates and appends is also common. Making all your UTAUs in the same art style and theme can be fun, but don’t feel obligated to. From the start I wanted all my UTAUs to have lore, and for them to be mythical/fictional beings of some kind.
Lycoris is a Greek name, Omichron is a made up name that’s Greek-ish, and Alta Maha’s name was inspired by the Altamaha-ha, a creature with roots in Indigenous Muscogee tradition. Japanese naming conventions can be difficult to learn if you’re a beginner. I chose to give all my UTAUs non-Japanese names in order to make it easier on myself.

Using “-loid” or “-poid” suffixes is common, but may make your UTAU seem more like a software than a character. Using the “Ne” kanji (which can also be read as oto) was common from 2008-2012 and is still used sometimes today. It is extremely common for UTAUs to have Japanese names which are filled with meaning. Find different ways to put those elements together or add new ones! Thinking of what you want to see in an UTAU can help with the design process. Some are subjective while others are specific. Here’s the list from 2019 of some qualities I wanted to give Lycoris. I design UTAUs based on tropes and qualities I like and want to see more often in characters. I hope it helps someone.įirst, I made a document using ideas I wanted to include. This is part guide and part inside look at what I do while creating my own UTAUs. I thought it might be useful to some people. Hello I’ve been meaning to post this for a long time, as someone who puts care into creating my UTAUs.
