Rules: You must be honest with every single question, and have fun at the end~ n_n

1. What's your name?
Online I'm just Tasha Jade, or NJAM xD
2. That's cool, when did you first learn about UTAU/Vocaloid
Vocaloid I learned when I watched Triple Baka. I found the video by accident on one of my favorite Maplestory/Bannedstory animators' channel back then. I did a bit of searching and kept listening and watching the videos because of the animation... xD
UTAU I learned about by accident. It was in some forum where someone asked who was your favorite VOCALOID, and I anwered Kasane Teto. Then a lot of people told me she wasn't a Vocaloid but an Utau... I did some research and yeah.
3. But when did you start?
...Roughly three days after, I made a lame UTAU and didn't even research a name for her
4. When did you make your first UTAU?
On Oct. 26, 2010, 3am in the morning while I was at my Lola's house
5. Let's be honest, how good were they?
....It was bad. I didn't have her OTO'd back then.
6. Make any other UTAU's? If so, who?:
I did try. At one point I "genderbent" Tasha Jade's voice and called "him" John Forloam. Gave up on that idea a long time ago. Some time after that I tried to make a "voicebank" out of my brother's voice. I had a concept for Setsuna Rin around August 19, 2013, but I gave up on that vb too because it sounded too similar to Tasha's. I didn't use UTAU for a long time in between those periods of time.

I don't remember when exactly I had the concept for Taiji, but I aparrently wrote "March 1, 2014" in his description. If I remember correctly, he was a pitched down version of what was supposed to be Tasha Jade's fourth and (probably) final voicebank. But when I tested it out it sounded different... so I made it Setsuna Rin's vb.

But then the sound files sounded too different so I had to record all over again Their vbs are mostly finished now, but I'm not confident enough to release them just yet

Oh and I made my second attempt at forcing my bro to voice an Utau. Still didn't work though, he has no patience for it And did I mention I call all of them "Jewelloids"? //shot
And I tried to make a VCV Lite bank for Tasha. Not sure if I should continued working on it or not.

Basic summary of everything above:
-Tasha Jade
-Setsuna Rin
-Taiji Fujisato
7. Voiced any UTAU's? If so, who?
Tasha Jade, Setsuna Rin, and Taiji Fujisato in that order.
8. Do any of your UTAU's have models?
Tasha Jade sort of has one...? I based her part of her "Act 3" vb's design on it. Someone offered to make a MMD model for her before but either it was never finished or that person forgot I haven't talked to her in a long time anyway....
9. What banks have you made?
....Uhh Tasha Jade, Setsuna Rin and Taiji...? |D
10. Ever change/made new designs for your UTAU?
Tasha Jade's design changed a lot. Setsuna Rin's changed at least two-three times, and I'm still trying to finalize her design. Taiji's design... the only thing I really struggled with was his hair, I think. I'm not very good at designing guys so I sort have a half design for him ;;
11. If so, how many times?
..... //points above but saying anyway//
Tasha Jade's design changed about.... 5 times or so I think. Like I said in the previous question, Setsuna's changed two-three times and is still changing. Taiji's didn't really change ahahhahahaah
12. Have them on both UTAU wiki and UTAU wiki 2.0?
Err not sure? About UTAU Wiki 2.0 I mean. Tasha Jade used to have one, but I removed it since it was out of date. Setsuna Rin and Taiji Fujisato's are linked below:
Setsuna Rin: utau.wikia.com/wiki/Setsuna_Ri…
Taiji Fujisato: utau.wikia.com/wiki/Taiji_Fuji…
Random fact: Taiji didn't have a last name until I made his wiki page.
13. Had any bad banks?
Tasha Jade and Setsuna Rin's Tasha Jade's Act "1" and "2" were horrible, and I actually copied the samples from her act 1 bank so.... yeah. Setsuna's old bank was too similar to Tasha's, so I scrapped that. It was too high anyway.
14. Oto your banks?
....No Tasha Jade's act 2 was oto'd by m00nst4r. Act 3 by UTAUzilla (I'm not sure if he still goes by that name now). I did try to do Act 3 but failed ahahahah. Setsuna and Taiji's voicebanks were oto'd by my nee-chan, CyanOnigiri.
15. Drawn your own art?
Always A few times Tasha Jade was drawn by other people- oh and that one time for the Secret Santa last year (That was awesome btw and I still have it saved somewhere). Nee-chan draws my UTAUs sometimes too- oh and I think I made a request or two to someone before and they drew Tasha? I forgot.
16. How well do you know the program
...I honestly consider myself still a noob at UTAU. It's been 4 years and I'm still learning more about it everytime I use it
17. Speaking of programs, what programs have you used to use Utau
Audacity. Sony Vegas Pro. I used to use Windows Movie Maker back when I started out, and recently I tried using Oremo to record Tasha Jade's VCV Lite bank (Which I'm not sure if I should finish btw).
18. What programs do you use now?
//points above// Aside from what's there, I use Photoshop CS3 for digitizing my art. Ah, and I use SAI recently since my tablet's pen isn't working properly.
19. Are you proud of what you put into the world?
....Maybe a little. Maybe not. I am proud that Tasha's voice is so distinct that I can pick it out among all the other voices. Not so proud of how horrible she first sounded (Hey, I was 12), but I'm forever happy when other people use her Setsuna and Taiji I'm still working on.... well, we'll see.
20. Post a link to your very first attempt at UTAU (if you still have it) and your most recent:
You're really making me do this?
I can't give the "most recent" since I didn't post it but I'll just give what's posted.
