Hello everyone! I know I don't do video announcements that often, but this one is kind of an important topic, so I wanted to go ahead and touch on it...

Some of you may have noticed that my YouTube name has changed from UTAUxyz to Studio VOXYZ. There are several reasons for this; in overview though, I am actually in the process of completely rebranding Project UTAU XYZ.

I will not be quitting UTAU, I am not going to be quitting Vocaloid, I'm not going to stop posting USTs or covers or voicebanks or anything.

It's just my current label, Project UTAU XYZ, uses the word UTAU in all capital letters, which is actually a trademark of Ameya-san, who is the creator of the UTAU software. It's listed in his terms of use that UTAU spelled in all capital English letters is actually the software's identity. Therefore, since I'd like to start selling artwork and music of my UTAU characters under a similar label, I've decided it would be safest to change  the name entirely.

VOXYZ is a portmanteau of "vox" (the Latin word for "voice") and XYZ from UTAU XYZ. It's meant to be pronounced like "proxies"/"voxies" or "voxiss" (I'm kind of switching between the two, I'll probably settle on a pronunciation at some point). It will cover not only my voicebank and music production, but also other multimedia side projects such as web design, game development, and so on.

For a long time, I've wanted to try to make a career in multimedia arts, but for years I never considered using Vocaloid or UTAU to break into that, since they were just a hobby at the time. But I've had some time to seriously sit down and think about things, and why I've stagnated since graduation... I haven't really been working on my portfolio as diligently as I've wanted to, I've been thinking up ideas for projects but haven't done anything with them. So I wanted to use Studio VOXYZ as a gateway for myself into producing more original content, and to merge my hobby with my core career interests and maybe someday make something out of it.

I hope you all understand. As always, thank you so much for watching, and I hope you continue to do so!
