If you’ve ever tried to mock up a cinematic score, you know the struggle: sustained "Ahh" and "Ohh" samples are great for texture, but they often lack the "soul" of a real performance. Today, Sonuscore, the team behind heavy hitters like The Orchestra Complete, has officially bridged that gap with the release of Fantasy Vocal Phrases.
This isn't just another vocal library; it’s a collection of professional, improvised performances designed specifically for the sweeping, emotional atmosphere of modern fantasy scoring.
The Voice of AAA Gaming
The magic behind this library comes from Katharina Wirtz, a professional vocalist whose credits include massive titles like The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle and Anno 117: Pax Romana.
Developer Christian Wirtz realized that composers needed more than just building blocks, they needed the micro-timing, the emotional arcs, and the unique interaction of consonants that only a seasoned session singer can provide. After two years in development, that vision is now a reality.
Language Without Distraction
One of the cleverest features of Fantasy Vocal Phrases is its use of an improvised fantasy language.
Believable Phrasing: It sounds like a real language, giving your score a narrative feel.
No Translation Traps:Because the words are phonetic rather than literal, you don’t have to worry about unintentional meanings or localization issues.
Abstract Emotion: It allows the listener to focus on the mood of your music without being distracted by recognizable lyrics.
Key Features for the Modern Composer
Sonuscore has built this instrument to be as flexible as it is beautiful:
-
All Twelve Keys: Every phrase is available across the entire chromatic scale, so you can match your project's tonality instantly.
-
Combinatorial Workflow: You can start one phrase and cross-fade into another, allowing you to "conduct" new musical sentences that didn't exist in the original recordings.
-
Production-Ready (or Raw): It comes with a dedicated reverb section for an immediate "out-of-the-box" cinematic sound, but you can strip it back to dry recordings to apply your own chain.
-
The "Witcher" Vibe: The library leans into soft, flowing, and ethereal minor-key tonalities—perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, or The Witcher.
Whether you’re scoring a high-fantasy RPG or adding an emotional layer to a trailer, Fantasy Vocal Phrases brings that elusive human element to your MIDI CC data. It’s ethereal, mournful, and most importantly ready to work.
