English VOCALOID studios also experimented with attempts to increase their own profile and establish a fandom like the Japanese VOCALOIDs had secured.

Newcomer studio PowerFX tried for a more character orientated approach, which became more apparent after the update to BIG AL than with Sweet ANN. Zero-G continued its specialist VOCALOID releases with the focus of this engine being opera based.

Some voicebanks sold well enough to warrant additional installations, as seen in the case of Hatsune Miku and the Kagamines software packages, who both received 'Append' voicebanks. This introduced changes to how the library was organized (VY1) and the first VOCALOID with a faint breath element (VY2). The engine was constantly updated with each new batch of VOCALOIDs, although the most major change to VOCALOID came with the production of the VY series by Bplats. Amongst the Japanese VOCALOIDs, Crypton Future Media's early Character Vocal series (CV) VOCALOIDs were not trying to sound realistic at all, but later VOCALOIDs such as Gackpo and GUMI by Internet Co., Ltd. Though the overseas English VOCALOIDs were much slower to catch on, the Japanese VOCALOIDs saw many additional voicebanks released and a number of new Japanese studios joining production.ДЄpproaches to the engine were different across the studios. In contrast to VOCALOID, the engine VOCALOID2 was an immediate success in Japan forwarding a VOCALOID phenomenon over the internet with more than 3,000 pre-release orders placed for the software of Hatsune Miku alone. Instead, YAMAHA had opted to update the software as users reported the errors. However, as noted by Crypton Future Media, at the time of Miku's release, the original version of the VOCALOID2 software was produced without public beta testing, unlike in the VOCALOID era. Its first voicebanks were Sweet ANN for English and Hatsune Miku for Japanese. VOCALOID2 was released in 2007 after an overall successful response to the VOCALOID software. 3 Vocals were in demonstrations at the time of the NAMM 2007 event, these were later confirmed to be Sweet ANN who was announced in May, Big AL (announced later on in 2007) and Prima who was announced in February. On January 27, 2007, VOCALOID2 was announced. The song 'Young Blood' was shared in 2015, which featured a previously unheard test voicebank produced in Japanese. One such test using the editor has since been made known.

The first protoype engine was tested in late 2004.

The interface was overhauled and vocals worked upon to produce smoother results. Rather than being based off analysis of the human voice, VOCALOID2 based its vocal results on samples of the human voice. When VOCALOID2 began development, several changes occurred.
