Filipino Singing Voice Dataset
Filipino singing voice sourced to your specification — no inventory, no fixed listing. This page covers what is specifically hard about this pairing, and which fields your specification needs to pin down.
Why singing voice in Filipino is its own problem
Taglish mixed singing is extremely common in Filipino pop, and the structure of an English chorus over Tagalog verses is a familiar shape. For lyric alignment that means every song has language boundaries inside it, so the language tag has to be applied line by line.
The field to pin down first: Tag the lyrics with a language label by line, and state the alignment rule for the points where the language changes.

What singing voice data is
Vocal recordings with melody, in both a cappella and accompanied form, used for singing voice synthesis, music information retrieval, and lyric alignment.
What buyers get wrong about it
Copyright is the number one problem for this category — melody and lyrics each have their own rights holder. We only produce original or fully cleared content, never existing commercial tracks.
The specification field that decides the quote
Whether the accompaniment is separated (dry vocal) or the mix is kept, and whether MIDI or pitch annotation comes with it.
The language side: what Filipino demands
Filipinos speak Taglish in daily life — switching between Tagalog and English sentence by sentence, sometimes word by word. This is how native speakers naturally talk, not a sign of substandard speech. Anyone who wants authentic data has to treat this mixing as the target, not as noise.
What we can put in this delivery
-
Read and conversational speech
Scripted recording for TTS, and unscripted conversation for recognition. Specified separately because they need different speaker pools.
-
Transcription to your convention
Orthographic or phonetic, with the guideline written before production and shared with you for review.
-
Speaker metadata
Age band, gender, region and dialect background per file, so you can slice the dataset rather than take it whole.
-
Consent documentation
Signed speaker consent covering the intended use, plus collection methodology and the annotation guideline.
-
Pilot batch
A small batch first, which you can reject. Misalignments surface after a few hours rather than at delivery.
-
Delivery in your format
Audio format, sampling rate, segmentation length and metadata schema set to your pipeline's requirements.

Questions we get about Filipino Singing Voice
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Filipino Singing Voice?
It depends on the specification and the timeline, and we will give a real number rather than a target. For this pairing, speaker recruitment is usually the step that sets the schedule. Tag the lyrics with a language label by line, and state the alignment rule for the points where the language changes.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Taglish mixed singing is extremely common in Filipino pop, and the structure of an English chorus over Tagalog verses is a familiar shape. That is exactly the kind of decision a default guideline leaves open, and it is where annotators diverge. Send us your guideline, or we will draft one and you can review it before production starts.
Do you offer a sample before we commit to a full run?
Yes. Select a free sample in the request form and describe what you need. A pilot batch is the cheapest way to establish whether the quality bar is reachable for Filipino Singing Voice before committing to the full volume.
Is the data licensed or owned outright?
Licensing terms are set per project, so tell us how the model will be used and whether it will be distributed. Consent documentation travels with the data either way, and we do not handle medical or clinical data or recorded telephone calls.
