Is there a MALE voice library similar to Voice of Passion (Wales singer)?

EW really captured some magic when they recorded this specific voice in that library. I have a project that would benefit from that..BUT..I also need it's male counter part. My usually vocalist is on tour for the season (that I know can pull it off) - so before I search for a substitute live singer I wanted to check first of what sample libraries were out there similar in style to VOP - Wales voice. Only need oo's and ah's (for sure sung words would be too much.). Softer, somewhat expressive would be ideal.

Thanks for your suggestions.
 
Wow, as someone who isn't a huge fan of EW, I very much love the Wales patch in VOP. Please let us hear what you make with her. I'm looking forward to it.

As for a male counterpart......can't help you.

Edit: Just looking through my Soundiron Voices of Rapture tenor legato patch. There is a specific ah patch with 'p' dynamics which actually would go with the Wales patch nicely. Also the same tenor has a 'oo' legato patch that is naturally quieter. Worth looking at. Since I also have VOP, I tried matching them together and they aren't bad.

Ok - I think I may have bought that one but didn't use it much - I'll look at those p patches. Thanks.
 
Yea - I think the tenor on Voice of Rapture is just too 'classical' sounding for this more contemporary vibe I'll need. :( Other ideas?
 
Other ideas?

formant shifting?

did some vo mixing and they needed two males coming from the same guy, it worked well enough

but for music, yeah, I think you'd want to be more realistic/less destructive than dialog mixing so maybe it won't sound good enough (but I'd still try)
 
Yeah....some find VOR a bit on the classical side....probably why i like it.
Although i find the Wales patch from VOP to be quite neutral...so i dont think it clashes with the tenor from VOR, but if you dont want a classical piece overall....then youre probably out of luck.

Maybe Zero-g has something. Theyve got some different vocals that might be more contempory.

That is an interesting idea for VOP - Wales. So in Cubase transpose audio bounce (in their tuner) the audio down an octave and formant shift to taste?

For a double octave part with the standard wales voice up high - this just might work. ;)
 
I stopped listening about 8-9 min in but there was no vocal by itself that shows the 'quality' of it. I guess I could demo it to try.
 
Ahhhhh - duh. :) I tried to take some audio within Cubase and vari audio 3 / formanting pretty much sounds like el crapo. I wish there was a 'demo' showing gender changing (more examples - female to male and vice versa.) This just might be a black Friday sale as well.
