A lot of my interest in doing music stuff for The Adventure Zone came from the idea of having a character whose only dialogue took place through Vocaloid software. It just seemed like a really neat idea, and the type of thing that could only work in a narrative podcast. So, I figured out how to use VOCALOID3 Editor and started tinkering around with Garageband, largely just so I could have backing music for this synthetically-voiced character.
The Vocaloid in question is AVANNA, which is the voice of a few tracks on Porter Robinson’s “Worlds,” an album I listened the hell out of earlier this year. I’m still figuring out how to make her plosives a bit more audible — if you had a hard time understanding the words in this verse, here’s the transcript:

Deep in the forests of Central Java, towering above the surrounding trees, lies an abandoned, crumbling church in the shape of a giant chicken with its beak open mid-squawk. Locals have dubbed it the “chicken church.” 🐔 [video of the church]
