Is there a doh sound for voice instead of ohh and ahh?
Hello everyone
Currently, when I want to get an idea of what a song might sound like when sung by a choir, I use the Yamaha Grand Piano sound for all voices, instead of the default "aah" or "ooh" sound. I do this because I want all notes to start with a specific, sudden sound that fades slightly, instead of the mushy "ahh" and "ohh" sounds that do not start noticeably and do not fade noticeably.
Do you know where can I get a "doh" sound and add it to MuseScore's mixer? I would like to have a "doh" sound that starts suddenly and loudly and then fades slightly over the duration of the note, much like the piano sound does.
Thanks
Samuel

Hehe, that would be awesome. A song featuring Homer Simpson singing a solo
See the Handbook under "Soundfonts" to learn how to find and install additional sounds.
Might be cool to have other voice sounds like mmmm, Shhh, bah, oh, na, cha, wa , ya, no, me.... for songs such as " nananana nananana hey goodbye" or "cha cha cha" or " oooo, woah, ooo ooo for the longest time".... if that makes sense

In diverging from "notation" (MuseScore's primary purpose) into "performance" (vocalization of lyrics/sounds), be advised that other applications may be more appropriate for such a task - e.g. a 'virtual singer'.

The above is true, but that said, there probably are soundfonts out there that provide a wider variety of "canned" syllables to choose from, and you are welcome to find, install, and use any of them you like, as described in the Handbook under "Soundfonts". The default soundfont in MsueScore adheres to the "General MIDI" standard, which only defines a small handful of vocal sounds.
