Welcome to the UTAforum!

UTAU is a Japanese voice-synthesis program used to create singing vocals for music. It is much like the more popular, commercially sold Vocaloid products, but UTAU is freeware!

Advertising Your UTAU; How much is too much?

Don't know if there's a thread on this somewhere. We all want our UTAUs to be noticed so we occasionally say something like, "My UTAU has a new video, want to check it out?" In your opinion what's the difference between advertising your UTAU to flat out spamming it everywhere? You know, those people who mention their UTAU any chance they get and shoving them into everyone's faces.

How do you advertise your UTAU? How do you keep from spamming your UTAU? Your thoughts?

----

I think the most I ever advertised Mimi is though my signature and I think that's enough. If I introduce myself nowadays I just occasionally say "Yeah, I'm an UTAU user." If they're interested and ask, "Oh, do you have an UTAU?" then I tell them. I don't say, "My UTAU is Yorune Mimi and she's the best UTAU ever! no Check out these videos I made of her. You should use her. Did I mention my UTAU is Yorune Mimi? yes you did" No, just no. These days I don't feel like advertising her anymore and just let people check her out if they want to.

I just let my work speak for me; other than the occasional video posted between other UTAU users or a quick tidbit about my plans for my UTAUloids, no, I don't advertise that much.

I definitely think the difference between "advertising" and "spamming" is the demographic, targeted or otherwise. It's taken me the longest time to finally post on my DeviantArt "yeah, I do UTAU too"--because they're not my targeted demographic for my UTAUloids.
(Even though I do have a bunch of pictures I should upload; I used to upload EVERYTHING, and now I have dozens of sketches waiting to be uploaded, though I know most of it's non-UTAU.)

How I keep from spamming? Just making sure to stay on-topic. Seriously, it does a world of good. Plus, I've been out for months, so most of the time it's mainly me going "I'm eighteen and what's this?"

I don't know if my way of advertising is spamming.. Usually when I release a new cover, I upload the art and submit into UTAU groups on dA. Then I go on twitter and tweet it.(If I remember)

I also post pictures on Pixiv, and some of the Japanese UTAU users there usually bookmark them, so that usually tells me they are potentially interested in her.

Other than that, it's pretty much all I do.. I don't tell anyone personally to go look. XD; Personally, I think what I do is what most people do..? I've never had a problem with someone rubbing their UTAU in my face or anything so far..

I think most users advertise their Utau on YouTube and DeviantArt.
Well, that's what I do.

There isn't many places to advertise them, Y'know?
I mean, if you advertise your Utau video on VocaloidOtaku, your only gonna get 10-15 views tops. Since the forum is mostly about Vocaloid.

And DeviantArt isn't always the best option cuz' most Utau users can't really draw. So, no one's really gonna be interested. Their logic "If the art is sloppy, so is the voice." Kinda sad for those who have wonderful voices..

The best way to advertise is to talk to people, I guess.
You get to know alittle bit about their Utau and they get to know alittle about yours.

I don't really advertise. I just share. Videos. Or something. I'm not exactly happy with my own voice so I don't really go around saying 'OMG CAN U USE MAI UTAUPLESE???????? 8DDDD SHES TOETULLY AMAZINGAN MAGNEFECENT AN VOICE BEUTEFAL!!!!!!!!!!!!1ONEONE1' I do bring my UTAU up sometimes, though. I just don't try to show her off.

Outright spamming someone to check out your UTAU(s) is when you constantly bug everyone and advertise all the time (Not like a video every minute. I don't think that's possible.) about it whilst saying that he/she is great (Which bugs me the most about because everyone has different opinions. One can think it sounds great, while the other might think it's horrible.). At least that's what I think it is.

I don't think I've ever spammed Iris onto people. My philosophy when I came back to this fandom after the terror that was Murasaki is if they want to use her...they'll use her. If not...oh well. =_=;;
And on that note, I didn't make Iris for other peoples enjoyment so much as I made her for my own XD I just wanted an UTAU of my own ya know? An UTAU I could use whenever and however I wanted whose voice samples I could tweak like no tomorrow and not get into trouble for it. And look how far that's gotten me lol

But as far as advertising goes...I dunno.
I do plaster pictures of her all over my dA but that's because of what I said before...my own enjoyment. (And she totally brightens my day up with those pastels and flowers ;u;)

But I have found that if you don't just use your own UTAU, but are willing and more than happy to use other peoples UTAUs no matter how popular they are...others will be more inclined to use your UTAU.(wordy phrase is wordy).

But you know what I mean.

It also helps to be...oh I dunno..nice to people. Ya know...treat them the way you'd like to be treated? I know a majority of the UTAUs I'm using/have used in my duet project came from their owners just being friendly and nice to me(voice played a role too of course XD ).

Well my UTAU is unreleased, but I mostly just spam samples to my friends for second opinions and whatnot.
When it comes to making videos, which I have for other UTAU, I'll stick them on my blog which is connected to my twitter. And that's usually enough for a few views. :^)

I advertise by posting works / art.
[mostly art, hurrhurr]

But I tweet about Dokuse occasionally, and maybe post her here and there at VO, but...
otherwise, not much.

I generally post videos in the usual places (Youtube, DeviantArt, and occasionally Nico), plus my Tumbleblog.

But yeah, using other's UTAU's/being nice does help. =w=

I do it Through YT, NND, Deviantart, Wordpress and Tumblr. I don't like bringing up my UTAU's though since they never seem to impress anyone anyways/people don't care. So I just do my thing, and maybe someone will stumble upon whatever I do.
I might pick up suing other people's UTAU's, though.
We were told that there would be cake.
