It depends on the recording method used on the voicer, type of sound being recorded per sample (accent impact varies per sample and language), and overall number of samples that make up the voicebank (the more samples, the more chance of it slipping in). VOCALOID will capture any form of accent quite easily at times. Genres such as Opera are most likely to make a accent appear almost entirely absent thanks to the impact of the opera vibrato. Singing also uses different muscles to speech, resulting in difference of air pressure and way the throat moves. Samples include genres such as western or country, black music such as Jazz or Soul. However, the reason many are led to believe this is that there are several methods of training singers to disguise or otherwise hide their natural accents - they may even adopt an accent that isn't their own for singing. Notes on Accent ĭespite the general belief that singers completely lose their accents when they sing, this is not the case in every instance and an accent is possible to be heard even in singing vocals. The language also has 29 possible allophones and 841 theorically possible combinations, requiring only 521 to cover more of the 99.99% of the concurrences within the language. The Spanish language has only 5 vowel sounds and 18 consonants.
