[BY DESIGN] [CL] Singing voice the same for all female voice types [ Edited ]

[boss0800]

All of female voice types are using the same voice when their singing skill is higher than 5-6 (both karaoke and microphone)

Sorry for my terrible English.

The audio team says this is by design for the higher-level skills.

Hi @boss0800

split your post as it doesn't sound like the same.

I'll test this

[crinrict]

Giving this a nudge. 

Tried to test but wasn't successful as my game doesn't seem to have many women with level 6 skill

I do hear a difference in voice with different levels when singing without mic:

See description for the levels per female. 

With mic it's very, very similar:

They all sound difference until level 5-6.

Here the my test with one of the song (I'm not sure with other songs but they all have the same problem)

Yes, I agree, you also hear it in my last video. Without the mic there is a difference, with it sounds the same.

So, every Sim that has Sweet or Melodic voice will sings in Lilted voice when their singing skill is on high level, because it was designed to be that way?

[Phantomlover1717]

That's correct, but as @SimQARobo suggested you can ask on the official forums to change this. If it will happen isn't guaranteed.

It really is a disappointment how they all sound alike when reaching the higher levels using the karaoke machine. The only difference in pitch is when two girls sing a duet and even then it's not very distinguishable between them.

I've noticed that while they're singing without the machine/microphone, either alone or when using an instrument, those voices sound more or less like their speaking tone. Even at the higher singing levels.

I feel EA could have done a better job with the machines if they tried to input that feature into them at the same time somehow. More diversity then. It's very unlikely that two people in the real world can have the exact same singing voice... So why would the people in a simulation game have that?
