Vocaloid

Vocaloid is a singing synthesis software created by Yamaha. Standing for "Vocal Android" it is a computer program which you can use various singing voices to create songs. Each voice is provided by a "seiyuu" or voice actor, and then named and given box art. The first Vocaloids were "Leon" and "Lola" created by Zero-G who sing in English. Then they also released Mirium. After this the first Japanese Vocaloid was released, "Meiko". After this "Kaito" was released, the first Japanese male. Vocaloid 2 was the updated version of the program, and the first voice released was "Sweet Ann" by PowerFX. Crypton, another Japanese company then released "Hatsune Miku", who is now the most popular and well known Vocaloid. Vocaloids later released by Crypton, in order of release are "Kagamine Rin and Len" and "Megurine Luka". Various other notable Vocaloids by different companies are "Gackpoid", "Megpoid", "Prima", "Hiyama Kiyoteru", "Kaai Yuki","SF-A2 Miki", "Sonika" and "Big Al". An update for "Hatsune Miku" was later released, named "Hatsune Miku Append". This contained 6 human-like voices suited to different genres. The other Crypton Vocaloids are also scheduled for Appends. Vocaloid 3 has been confirmed, and will be the most realistic sounding program yet.

vocal fry

The artificial, gravelly, voice-lowering way to speak that makes you sound like a ditz. The opposite of upspeak, but having the same negative effect on others.

If I hear Kim K say omg in that annoying vocal fry way she talks one more time...

vocabularianism

The practice of knowing and using words that are beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Vocabularianism is not just a way of life, it's a vindictive embracement of an aspect of substantiality.

Vocal Fry

1. When one draws out a word, usually in a deep, croaking, voice.
2. Is the lowest vocal register and is produced through a loose glottal closure which will permit air to bubble through slowly with a popping or rattling sound of a very low frequency.
3. How the Kardashians speak.

Girl 1: Oh my God, did you see what Kim was wearinggggg.......
Girl 2: Yeahhhhh.... She was totally cuuutttteeeee.......
Girl 1: I love the way she speaks. Like Vocal Fry is the bestttt.....
