** CV-VC voicebanks are one of the "newer" recording styles in the fact that they weren't created until several years after VCV was discovered. However, they quickly made their claim to fame in the fact that they allow one to make voicebanks for languages other than Japanese. The recording style focuses on CV with the addition of end consonants, which nearly every language outside of Japanese possesses. In order to record a VC, it's very much like a VCV where you record the vowel before the consonant, but stop upon saying the consonant, leaving a space of silence where the vowel in a CV or VCV bank would go so the program can naturally transition to the next phonetic without cutting off the end consonant. Upon its discovery, CV-VC quickly exploded to one of the more popular recording styles due to allowing SurprisinglyGoodEnglish, as well as other SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage UTAU voicebanks, though some theorize it was created earlier before its abilities for English banks were discovered.

* '''VCCV''': One of the newest methods around, coming out in 2015. This method was engineered specifically to make English voicebanks sound clear in UTAU, and was innovated by the same person who came up with CVVC English. Like above, this leads to SurprisinglyGoodEnglish, and can sound professional in good hands, or absolutely awful in other hands. While this is considered the gold standard for English in UTAU, it is not very beginner-friendly, and beginners are usually directed to use less well-known (and often less clear) recording styles for English such as CV-C (a decently clear but still tough bank type with decent multilingual support), or Bluemoon (a multilingual CVVC style that sounds like a drunk Microsoft Sam no matter who uses it). Despite all of its issues, VCCV is still incredibly popular for English speaking members of the fandom.

* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: While the program was originally made for Japanese vocals, it's not impossible to make voicebanks of other languages in it if you know what you're doing, as well as a good deal about the language in question's phonetic structure. Notably, in addition to Japanese, there are quite a few banks out there that support SurprisinglyGoodEnglish, as well as surprisingly Korean and good Spanish.

UTAU is a musical voice synthesis program created by Ameya as a freeware response to Music/{{Vocaloid}}. Using UTAU is much like using Vocaloid, however there are some differences in usage (which may lead to DamnYouMuscleMemory). Also, UTAU has the feature of importing vocal samples manually, which allows a person to use their own voice in UTAU.
