01Overview

Hollywood Fantasy Voices centers on the voice of singer Merethe Soltvedt, recorded for fantasy and epic scoring. The library covers sustained and legato vocals, a set of Elvish words drawn from Tolkien's language, and ad lib phrases organized by key. Full male and female choirs sit alongside the solo voice, and a keyswitch section gathers the main articulations into condensed patches for faster sketching.

03In depth

Solo Vocal Articulations for Fantasy Scoring

The sustain patches let you hold a single note and get a vocal line with dramatic dynamics. Two modes are included: Lyrical, for dramatic, dynamic vowels, and Vibrato, for higher-energy sustained vowels.

The legato patches were recorded ascending and descending within an octave, which helps larger intervals sound connected. Phrase patches are organized by key, so you can find a vocal part for a given tonal center without searching through a long list.

Elvish Words, Choirs and Keyswitch Workflow

The library includes 60 words from Tolkien's Elvish language, recorded across a range of notes. You can play them alone or chain them into your own phrases.

The choir section adds male and female groups with different vowels. The developer notes that the choir has heavy traditional folk inspirations, which suits scores where a conventional epic choir does not fit. The keyswitch section combines a full choir, men's and women's choirs, and the sustain, phrase and Elvish word recordings into condensed patches, reducing the number of tracks needed.
