I'll bet Vocaloid is less of a pain in the ass when you know Japanese.

Yamaha had the Vocaloid team at NAMM. Not last year, but the year before. They were... otaku. They also showed how you could construct a song in like no time at all... in that same way that Avid demonstrates you can make a rap track in Pro Tools that if you haven't done it 8 times a day for 5 months would actually take you two afternoons.

As it is even the Japanese, who have pushed a couple Vocaloid tracks to the top of the charts, still use voice actors for game and movie talent. Vocaloid is a thing but it's not going to replace human speech any time soon.
