What's Your Story?

Well, I read in a blog some russian girl and she wrote that in YTC cute people. ^^
And now I here

I first encountered Vocaloid music about a year ago, via an AMV, which had 'Melt' in it. Because of its really high pitch (funnily enough, there are still people who can reach those impossible notes o_O), and the catchy tune, yes, I clicked on the links which led me to the world of VOCALOID :D

Yeah, anyway, I youtube Vocaloid songs whenever possible due to the MASSIVE amount of songs there are, and my random clicking habits brought light to MMD and NICO NICO CHORUSES!! Then...the choruses lead me here. Where the auditions start. Personally though, (I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO BE SAYING THIS BUT...!), I never really bothered with listening to auditions...because they aren't to the standard of the final chorus.

I just joined YTChoruses, so I don't really have a right to be posting this up...*sigh* Did anyone last through my blabber? And understand it?

Mm.... shortly speaking it's just that my univ friend's friend, xyzddaeneo here (I'm not sure she's still active, she's one of the first ytc members, I think), told me about ytchorus, so I joined....?

How I got into YTC

Spoiler:

Hope you enjoyed.

Man, my VOCALOID adventure was wonderful and filled with laughing and crying in the school library and singing and loving and laughing at other people and their confused expressions.
So. Me and my BEST FRIEND of my Sophomore year in high school (I'm not a Senior and have a different BEST FRIEND 'cause the girl I knew then moved and I'm upset) showed it to me. She clearly really loved it a lot and we would sit at lunch and we would talk about fandoms and one glorious day she showed me either SPICE! or Fear Garden, I can't remember which came first... but we listened to it and she told me what VOCALOID was and that there were all kinds of characters and I was like, "uh... okay.." but I kinda liked it, too 'cause I love just about any form of music. And eventually, over the year she showed me more and more and more and I started listening to other songs on my own, like Meltdown was one of the first I found by myself that I actually liked.
And since then, I've been listening and listening and listening and now have over a hundred VOCALOID songs on my MP3 player of choice. It's beautiful and I love Rin.
So it took me maybe a year before I realized I could dub songs, too. And it took me a bit longer to figure out what kind of programs to use, how to record, etc etc. And my current BEST FRIEND EVAR Liz suggested "Oh I can put videos up for you, we can share a YT account fgjsefnkbnarljtnw gwej br etc." And our first fail as all hell video was me singing Alice Human Sacrifice over Skype and her recording it. It was absolutely atrocious. We took that down.
And then I met my friend Reggy who writes really good English lyrics for VOCALOID songs and she's actually a beautiful singer. ;D So I think it was SPICE! that I did a legit-ish dub of first. And it sucked. And it kinda went from there, of me doing awful English dubs of songs with audacity with only an internal mic. that makes awful noises.
Then waaaay later I finally got my headset and the first song I dubbed in Japanese was Suteki Da Ne. And that kinda sucks, too. But from there I started learning songs in Japanese faster, started singing a little better, though I'm still not very good. I've collected a total of thirty subscribers on youtube. xD Suck. Uhm. After a while I found this ad for YTC on youtube and I checked it out but I didn't really think anything of it other than, "oh cool, I might do that..." and that happened again when I heard about the audition for the Just Be Friends piano dub, but I didn't actually audition or join. I think that it was the Dear You chorus audition that finally got me to join. And then after I failed that I started stalking the group dub part of the forum. xD
But.. that's my story. I just learned Lily Lily Burning Night in like. Three hours. Stupid.

oh. lol.

Kinda hard to remember it all now lol @u@

It's me, talking 8D

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
i was bored.............
...and laurel (my sister) said,
"AKIIII LOOK AT THIS THEY'RE NOT NICONICO... SO THEY"RE TWICE AS COOL..."
and i said "that's a good thing!"
so later (much later) i got an account, so i can sing with all the lovely and wonderful people YAY!!!!

Hmm...okayyyy, lemme think...

OKAY SO. I was like looking through Voclaoid covers and stuff to see their translated lyrics and then I found a video of someone covering one of Len's songs where there's seven of him. And I was liek: OMFG I WANNA SEEEEEEEE... So I clicked it and it brought me to Suvi's video (yeah, I know xP). So I went, commented on it and his page. After that, I started to talk to him a bit more and saw another comment of his page from Choco-chan and it was like: SOMEONE HELP MEH, HE'S EATING MEH. And I was like: WHA?????!!! NUUU *runs to Choco's page*

Then I started talking to Choco-chan and Suvi a lot...then Suvi hauled his butt to Hiatus land, so I just kept talking to Choco!~ Then we decided to sing Alice Human Sacrifice! So we went around asking friends if they wanted to join, but they were all busy. Then Choco went and posted it up here and I made an account here to follow the thread. =w= Then I forgot about it for...3 weeks? I dunno.

Then suddenly I was like: OMG I HAS AN ACCOUNT HURRRRR. So I went back on, intro'd myself in the uh....intro thingymabobby and yushhhhhh.

The end. =w= ...Kemi did a good job helping me break in 8D -shotshotshot-

Nothing special really~~~~

Well I was talking to karururu~~~~~ And then we got to the topic of Akahitoha since Nyan was in it. So I decided to listen on it. And oh dear lord it sounded amazing 8D. So I asked Rinny if she would ever do something like this again~ And of course she said yes and not too long later (few minutes) the YTC account was made!

I of course subbied right away and became the 2nd person to subbie that account 8DDDDD. Well all in short, Karu introduced me to the Akahitoha chorus and then BAM. I find out about YTC ;>. Although I bothered Rinny a lot about it ;>>>. Hey but finding out about YTC had its highs too 8DDD. I got to be in one of the first choruses so I can live without any more regrets ;>. I also get to see how much YTC grows throughout time now~

And let me tell you. It has come a LONG LONG LONGGGGGGGG way~ ;>

Happy anniversary YTC!

So. Time to write my story, huh?

I was travelling abroad with a couple of friends and a dog named Pico, which barked happily whenever I announced the word Angel(quite strange, I know). We came upon a glorious land called Japan and decided to learn the customs and trends that were currently popular. While singing at one of the small buildings they had there, we came upon this song called Love is War. It was a really cool song, I must admit, and it made me reminisce about the times I spend along with a talking blue panda while running across the beach (though I might have been high on sugar or something back then). Coming back home, we searched it up on Youtube, and HUZZAH! We learned of the existance of Vocaloids. I, myself, decided to delve deeper into the existance of Vocaloids, and eventually found a great song that was called Just be Friends (Chorus)...or so I remember anyways. Maybe it was Dear You (Chorus)? It was by the Nico Nico chorus, and in the comment section below, there were many people crying about how America should have a chorus like this. Eventually, a viewer suggested the holy miracle called YTChorus, which was a Chorus that was apparently pretty good. I checked it out, checked the website, and fell in love with the concept. And now, here I am, spending countless hours on this website with the account Darkangel (see, it all ties together) Pico now lives outside in his doghouse where is constantly pampered, and my friends all went their seperate ways, some moving to Japan and some simply vanished. I continue following vocaloids, spending years learning the complex songs. I hope that one day, I can meet that blue panda again. HE'S REAL DON'T JUDGE ME.

FOr me, I got into Vocaloid with songs that a friend of mine kept posting.

As for how I got into YTC..........

it all started out in 7th grade, when I got a portable CD player for christmas. I didn't really have any interest in the thing, since I had no decent CDs. I eventually got some, and would sing along in the car, and my parents liked my singing, so I took voice lessons for a bit until school took over and I couldn't keep up with them. It crashed down then. My younger sister got a CD player of her own, and would sing along with it horribly. I always drowned her out, and she'd always buy the same CDs as me (which were all teenybopper trash at the time). Eventually I got into more decent music, got NOW CDs, and later, an Ipod. Thankfully she couldn't afford an ipod, so now she can't get the same music as me...but her music tastes got worse. All of hers was teenybopper trash, Disney Cash Cow sh*t, and KidZ Bop. Around then was when I was madly downloading all the Vocaloid songs I could get my hands on, so I'd have more than just Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks and a few top 40 songs. Things went downhill after that, my parents blatently said they'd rather hear my sister belting nasty S@#! then me singing decent songs. Every time she would literally belt out a note with all the force of her voice, while I'm silently mouthing lyrics, I would tell her to be quiet, and my mom would say that I was 10 times louder instead of telling her to shush (I eventually invested in noise cancelling headphones after that)

After my parents blatently rejected my natural talent for my mentally retarded sister's fail-ness, I basically didn't sing for anyone but myself. I would always lip sync in the car, and would sing alone in my room, along to Vocaloid videos. I even sang along with the Vocaloids that I downloaded, because unlike my parents, they're just computers, and they won't suddenly synthesize the words "your sister is better than you" or "you suck" unless you put them in yourself.

Eventually while browsing Nicochorus vids, and wishing to be one of those singers, since they're well respected, I found YTC. I subscribed, and then I joined the site whenever their Melt audition came up (WHERE THE MF H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS IS THE AUDITION RESULTS FOR THAT!?). Right now I just hope people will respect my singing despite me utterly failing on high notes.

As a side note, sure I took chorus in high school, but parents seemed to ony go to concerts because they didn't wanna look like "bad parents" (which they are a lot of the time).

And for those of you wondering why I chose to become a singer on YTC as opposed to finding an agent, it's simple. While I may be famous, I don't need 20 billion people nagging me to become a size 0 in 20 days. I like being a size 22 or whatever I am right now

o3o)~
I just wanted to join a forum where people knew about utatte mita.
I had no interest in singing~ ;3;

But I made cool friends, and after some skype calls people asked me to sing and ... I guess all the support gave me courage to sing more..!!~

and here i am!~

After reading everyone else's interesting and touching beginnings, I feel like sharing mine (though it's not interesting or touching).

Spoiler:

Oh I never saw this topic before~

I didn't really sing much D: What got me into singing was once I started listening to songs in other languages. The reason was... Well, they're really fun to say. Forget the fact I have no clue what the meaning of the lyrics is, it's just so fun to sing along with them! I don't sing many slow pretty sings, I sing the fast ones xD

VOCALOID was great because I found a lot of covers, so I decided to start doing my own.

I quickly realized a lot of singing is the same as playing an instrument: Breathe from the stomach, not the chest, for example. So I already knew the basics :'D

EDIT: "orz no pretty badge for me? 3':

uh...Rin-chan...I don't want a badge, because...ehhh gender-specific things are not for me...
Okay, well...basically, I was looking for refs because I was in an artistic slump. I found and Alice Human Sacrifice base, and got curious. I ended up getting into the music, but quickly moved to the obscure end of the spectrum. Then I found out about covers, and my lovely Gakky encouraged me, I wanted to find a dub group, and I found the Kagome Kagome auditions. I tried, and, well I joined the fourm. I then wound up leaving due to depression. Now I'm back. yep :/
