Have you listened to the song sung by virtual singer, Which means that the voice is from software? Maybe not, and maybe you thought that was strange. I'm a fan of the virtual singer. According to what I know, virtual singer is not very popular in the North America. Virtual singer is so popular in Asia, some virtual singer have more fans than human pop singer. But I'm happy to find that the virtual singer start to become more and more famous in the North America these years. For example, Google Chrome hired Hatsune Miku as their image ambassador in 2010. And the Hatsune Miku advertisement Won Bronze in Cannes Lions. I also know that Hatsune Miku held the MIKUNOPOLIS concert in Los Angeles, 2011.
To talk about the virtual singer, I must talk about the most popular virtual singer software, Vocaloid. Vocaloid enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. In my opinion, that is really an amazing technology, it make the song don not need human singer anymore. And give the new chance to people who can write nice songs but not good at singing. And because there is not a human singer anymore, composers are so excited with that, it really improve the composer's status. When people talk about human singer, talk about "who's song", "who" must be the name of the singer here. But when people talk about the virtual singer, the "who" in "who's song" will be the name of the composer. It means that the composer connect to fans directly, enable the composer to have fans and praise like pop singer. That's why more and more composer join in the virtual singer company now. And having lots of composer is the reason why a virtual can publish thousands of songs a year while a human singer only publish 10 to 20 songs a year.
From my point of view, this technology make an explode in music market, the amount of songs increase so fast that make people feel unbelievable about . I like it because it shows the spirit of freedom, cooperation, and justice. It enables almost everyone to write songs, without limits, more people write songs they want to write, while pop singer may be told to change their songs by their company to make more money. It puts hundreds of composers together to write song for a singer, and makes more music club appear. It also "returns" the interests to composer, because I believe most of the interests in a song come from its melody, but not who sings it. It's right.
Virtual singer will not take the place of the human singer, but its meaning is just like the mean of Hatsune Miku's name, it represent the future. I'm glad to invite you know about it. Virtual singer always gives people a feeling when people hear it--that is what music should be.
This is the first time I have ever heard of virtual singers. This is pretty amazing because it allows more people to do what they love and compose music. I will have to look into this because I bet there is some pretty great music out there that I am missing out on.
