Hi, John.

I tweaked the mix a bit, so hopefully a number of problems were resolved. At the same time, I altered the vowels a bit to make them a bit more... "American English." I thought it helped with the clarity, but obviously problems remain.

But intelligibility is one of the problems with Vocaloids, and I'm not sure how to get around it. My own vocal synthesis program had this issue as well.

Then again, I've had my share of "real" songs that left me baffled as to what words the singer was singing.

Thanks for the feedback!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
