I do the otos. I like to think I'm pretty good at them. Check out my UTAU work on soundcloud to see what I mean!

I can oto ANYTHING, even if it's a language or recording style I'm not used to. Granted, my work may not be perfect if you hand me a type of bank I've never seen before, especially if the otos have very esoteric requirements to work, but I like to think I understand my oto theory well enough to get pretty smooth configurations out of anything.

I configure otos in SetParam and then use the built-in UTAU editor to fine-tune them; I'll also at least run a few cursory UST tests with your voicebank to be sure things are sounding right before I send it back to you. In general, I am only taking commissions to configure the aliases/phonemes given to me in a base oto, though there are cases where I may sneak in a few additional aliases (without extra charge) for your quality of life with the voicebank.

Revisions
Minor revisions are free, forever, on your oto.ini made by me! You are always free to request that I check certain sounds, sets of sounds, and so forth for errors; I do make mistakes, and I intend to correct them when I do.

Pricing
My pricing is $.02 USD per line of oto configuration if a base oto is provided. If no base is provided, or the base is extremely disparate from the actual recordings, there will be a significant (as much as doubled) charge for me to create a base oto, depending on the complexity of the reclist. (There are frequently ways for you to generate these for me programmatically, if you can't just borrow one from another voicebank using the same reclist, so please do so before you send the voicebank to me.)

To explain this pricing: it takes me about an hour to get through 750 lines of oto configurations. That means at $15/hour, a line of oto costs $.02. Make sense? You're paying for my time, my experience, and also my wrist pain. This pricing also reflects the fact that not all reclists/voicebanks are created equal, depending on how many phonemes you add to them, and what language they are, etc.

For example's sake, estimated pricing with base otos for the following VB styles would be:
  • CV Japanese (~150 lines): $3
  • CVVC Japanese (~700 lines): $14
  • VCV Japanese (~1.1k lines): $22
  • VCCV English (~3k lines): $60
Obviously, these prices apply to a single pitch. If the VB is multi-tone, the prices multiply as expected.

In cases where I must complete an oto in a rush, defined as here as my needing to work on it for more than two hours per day in order to finish it on time, there will be a rush fee of 25%. Otos are very taxing on my hands, so please give me due time to complete your configurations. For this same reason, I only have three slots open for otos at a time. Special cases of very long otos (like VCCV English) can be waitlisted outside of these open slots; just contact me if you have one of these.

Other Terms
I reserve the right to reject voicebanks which are extremely noisy or extremely quiet and thus too difficult for me to configure. In these cases, I will ask you to edit the samples so that I can configure it more easily; I can also offer this service at an additional charge per sample, which we can discuss on a case-by-case basis. Unless I have specifically discussed sample edits with you, however, I will not make any changes to your files.

I do not handle dual-aliasing (e.g. romaji & hiragana) at this time; please send me a base oto file with only a single set of aliases. I would personally prefer to receive Japanese voicebanks aliased using hiragana, but obviously, I can read both just fine.

There are no restrictions on commercial use of voicebanks I have configured; credit for my work in your voicebank's readme is appreciated, though not strictly required.
