An Expansion of Scope: Community, UTAU & Vocal Synthesizers

By Hentai on Sep 18, 2012 | 2 Comments

In the first Editorial post in over a year we would like to officially expand the scope of Engloids.Info.

When we started this blog we wanted to be the best “Engloid” blog on the West. Now, more than a year later, I would like to think we achieved that goal… if only because we never really had any competition.

We started with a simple mission statement and the humble goal of “Spreading the Engloid Love”. Traditionally I have always translated “Engloid” to “English Vocaloid” but this always seemed a bit narrow of a definition. We don’t just love English-language Vocaloid but all Vocal Synthesizers.

So with this love in mind we are formally expanding our scope to include English-language UTAU and other Vocal Synthesizing technology. We haven’t changed our original mission statement, we are simply spreading the love around, because we love many things, but we love vocal synths most of all.

Beyond this we would also like to not only spread the love ourselves but cover other people in the act of spending it. Expect more Convention, Concert, and Event coverage in the future as we look forward to covering the many evens the English speaking community has to offer.

If you would like to join us in spreading the love. Staff Recruitment is Open once again.
We are looking for news bloggers, regular columnists on related topics, and at least one more editor to keep us all in check.

New Staff, Mission Statement, & Editorial Guidelines

By Hentai on Jul 18, 2011 | No Comments

Well the site has been updated and we have take 4 people onto our blog staff. These new additions include Koda-P (kodakami2) & Opera Ghost (GladiatorBros) as Contributing Editors (Columnists) with Myst (UTAUxyz) & Sekai (Skeyi) as Editors.

Some of them are still going through orientation but we are still recruiting Reporters and additional Columnists. For more info and to request an interview check out my previous post.

 

Beyond adding new members to our team I have also finalized our editorial guidelines including this mission statement:

Mission Statement: Our goal is to spread the Engloid love. We will not pretend to be impartial and we will have a clear and evident love for all things Engloid. We will want to share this love with the rest of the world and when it comes to Engloids nothing will be beyond our scope.

Heart of the matter is we LOVE Engloids and we aren’t even going to attempt to be impartial about it. This is the Engloids blog what else would you expect?

 

Beyond that you can see our full Editorial Guidelines & Category Overview on its page here.

It may seem like a bit much at first for a “simple blog” but I feel transparency helps both the reader and the editor as it lays out what you can expect from us, and in turn what we should expect from ourselves.

Believe it or not this isn’t me first time as “Senior Editor” for anything. I was Editor-in-Chief of my highschool’s Muse Literary Magazine and I was a managing editor for AnimeInfo.org’s Tribune while they were still around.

New Engloids Blog Launches!

Basic "E" Logo

Welcome to the New “Engloid’s Blog” now simply known as “Engloids”.

We are in not affiliated with the original Engloid’s Blog beyond the topic at hand and our love for Vocaloid, particularly Engloids.

The old Engloid’s Blog fell into disrepair with NoNeed4Cosplay/NoNeed4Vocaloid heading off for college and its adopter Tyetyez falling off the face of the earth. Without a caretaker the old blog came to a halt and at the time of posting hasn’t been updated in almost a year.

We hope to continue the tradition of Engloid love that NoNeed4Cosplay started and provide the latest and greatest coverage not only on the Engloids but on the producers, originals, and great work done with them.
