Hello everyone, I just bought Synth V Pro. I make cinematic music, Epic, Trailer, Fantasy music and if it's going to be spoken, I make Billie Eilish style songs. In these genres, it is very difficult to find vocalists in my country :) So I looked up Solaria. I liked it. Is there a voice that you think is better for these genres?

I think, Solaria is a good choice and the free Mai is also worth a try. Maybe try Solaria Lite first, before you buy the full version.

I used the Lite version, but I couldn't get the result I wanted because of its limited features. The "Soft" feature in the Pro version brings me closer to the result I want. I realized that.
 
Or maybe you would prefer Natalie?



I myself am more a fan of male voices and I think the most versatile voice is Saros:

I was too and decided for Solaria, because she seems to be more versatile.

Natalie's voice modes: Soft, Soulful, Steady, Bold, and Warm
Solaria's voice modes: Clear, Soft, Airy, Power, Passionate, Solid, and Light

Hard decision ... I chose Solaria with the SynthV bundle and thought, if I'm unsatisfied, Natalie will be cheaper as a second voice than the other way round ;)
Maybe I'll get her too, but I mainly use male voices and picked Saros as my second voice and NineZero for Rock stuff.

For background vocals Solaria and Mai are a nice pair and if I should need a second female lead vocal, I guess Natalie will be my favorite.

PS: Check Youtube for songs with both ... maybe that helps in your decision.
PPS: When I first thought of buying SynthV my top candidate was Weina ... I love her voice. But then I became to know, that she has a Chinese accent so I decided between Solaria and Natalie. I wanted something easy to start with, without struggling too much with phoneme editing.

I listened to a comparison of the two on the website. Natalie is definitely a softer vocal. Especially the Soft mode, Natalie wins very clearly (in my opinion)

That's nice for a first comparison, but on Youtube you'll find more convincing examples.

Example: I was a bit undecided, if Saros will satisfy my needs ... until I saw this cover:

 
I like the sound of Natalie but find Solaria much easier to use. It took me days of tweaking to make my Natalie song sound good. Solaria has been amazing each time with very little work.

If you get into Synth V, I think you’ll get solaria eventually.

I keep thinking about who is best for Billie Eilish.

Have you checked out Feng Yi? Not sure about its accent and it might be harder to tweak, but it's got a nice airy vocal mode

What exactly was so difficult ... issues with phonemes or pronunciation?


Have you seen this?

To my ears, the vibrato was way too extreme and I spent two days drawing on every note. Maybe that was because I was going for a Karen Carpenter sound. There are some who feel that Natalie has an "accent," but I find her voice charming.



Thank you for the Billie Eilish video. I need to spend more time listening to YouTube and finding out what Synth V is capable of! I generally use it as a songwriting tool and not for finished pieces.

Thank you. But I think it's either not tweaked or the Lite version of Studio V. It sounds very artificial and auto-tuned, the transitions are very sharp. The official demos on Studio V's website sound better :)

This one sounds the same way, without vibrato and very artificial. Probably not tuned in the same way. I know this is not Natalie's real performance, so thank you :)
