What are Some of the Best Open-ended Questions for Winning Sales?
There is no magic wand to reveal the five best open-ended questions to ask for all sales situations. That's the bad news. The good news is, there are several ingredients that will make asking five great questions easier. Here is the recipe for success:
Remember the old joke, "Where does an 800-lb. gorilla sit? Anywhere it wants to." Don't be that gorilla, starting the questioning dialogue with the questions YOU want answered. Start the sales dialogue by asking about the client's short-term objectives and needs. This approach allows clients to take the conversation where they want, so they can share what is top-of-mind for them, what keeps them up at night, and what is most important to them in the near future. Even though you control the conversation by the questions that you ask, let the clients control which areas they want to direct the conversation.
Here are some sample questions to consider and adapt, as appropriate:
"In speaking with your senior account manager, he mentioned three key drivers: X, Y, and Z. What specifically are your key objectives related to these drivers?" (This question leverages your preparation so that the question doesn't feel too basic or unprepared.) "What are you trying to accomplish in the next six months?" "What is most important to you in your business right now?" "What has prompted the shift in strategy » Continue Reading.
How to Ask Probing Questions during Sales Meetings
Probing questions are at the heart of an effective, consultative selling approach
Being able to win opportunities is what separates a great sales professional from a good one — those who excel, understand the structure of sales meetings, and stay in control. Great sales professionals know where they are going with their questioning strategy and what they want to accomplish at every point in the dialogue. They hone their focus on probing, learning, and fully comprehending the client's needs before ever talking about their own product. In my last blog post, I focused on tips that will help with open-ended questions, today, I will look at probing questions.
Probing questions are at the heart of an effective, consultative selling approach — one that is all about the client, not how much the sales professional knows or the great products to be offered.
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care"
― Theodore Roosevelt
At the start of a client relationship, you should show interest in the other person's world, which may include work and family responsibilities, hobbies, sports, or career development. Let the client take the lead, and then use probing questions to explore what the client has just said and to demonstrate your level of interest and caring.
Probing questions are a great way to demonstrate to your clients that you are listening and picking up on key "neon words" » Continue Reading.
5 Tips on Asking Open-ended Sales Questions
Open-ended Sales Questions Allow Sales Professionals to Learn More than Just the Obvious
When you ask yes-or-no questions during sales calls, you get yes-or-no answers, which either confirm or deny whatever you had posited. When you become more strategic about asking questions, you can often discover important, underlying, and previously unknown issues that matter to the success of prospects and clients.
There's a skill to asking the right questions at the right time. At Richardson, we include Questioning as one of our Six Critical Skills for sales, and we define it as the ability to explore needs and create dialogue. Open-ended questions allow sales professionals to learn more than just the obvious, observable things. As a result, sales professionals are better able to be more consultative and position the best products and services to meet client needs, while demonstrating understanding and caring in helping clients achieve their goals and objectives.
These five tips will help you get beyond the usual questioning strategy to discover what's really on the minds of your clients:
It's OK to leave your agenda behind. In fact, we encourage it. Going into meetings without preconceived ideas frees you to focus on what is important to clients. You can more easily step into their world, identify their needs and objectives, understand their worries and challenges, and align your offerings with their strategies. Don't focus most of your sales dialogue on open-ended questions related to your » Continue Reading.
What's your Questioning Strategy?
What's your Questioning Strategy?
Asking to be a strategic advisor to your client usually never happens. But, having the right questioning strategy can build the credibility required to become one.
The questions that you ask and the way that you ask them can define how you operate and how you are perceived by clients.
Do you ask the questions that get you paid? These questions are your bread and butter; they're part of your comfort zone. These questions allow you to position your solution and the need for your product or service. These are what we call "current situation questions" — questions that probe how the client is currently operating, his/her level of satisfaction with the operations, and facts about how he/she does business.
All good questions, but they're the wrong places to start.
The best first questions are strategic ones that explore the client's main objectives. What is he/she trying to accomplish? What are his/her key priorities and objectives? Why did he/she decide to change from X strategy to Y?
Why should we ask these questions first? Because we don't want to focus on our agenda; we want to focus on the client's. At this point, we want the client to talk about what is most important to him/her. We want the client to take the conversation — and us — where he/she wants it to go, not where we want it to go.
Some people think that asking too many » Continue Reading.
Why Sales Objections Can be Opportunities
Why Sales Objections Can be Opportunities
As sales professionals, we are quite familiar with sales objections. We hear them on a daily basis, and sometimes, several times a day. We can hear them at any part of the sales process: when we open, when we discuss our solution, or when we close the deal.
The ability to resolve these sales objections is crucial for a number of reasons:
It enables you to maintain and strengthen your client relationships. It helps you move your sales cycle forward in a non-confrontational way. It helps ensure that conversations remain positive, focused, and consultative. It gives you confidence to address tough conversations. When dealing with price objections, it ensures that you don't discount too early or leave money on the table.
Sales objections are most often thought of as roadblocks in the sales process, carrying negative connotations. In reality, sales objections represent an opportunity — the client is willing to share objections, which gives you the chance to address them and move the sale forward.
It's important that you don't make assumptions about the objection and instead ask the client to elaborate. This demonstrates your interest in learning more, while giving you extra time to think. It also confirms that you're dealing with the right objection, as most times, the objection you first hear can be a smokescreen. I call this the Matryoshka effect, like the Russian nesting dolls: inside » Continue Reading.
Three Missteps in Sales Coaching
Three Missteps in Sales Coaching
A sales manager's most important job is coaching. An effective sales coach can accelerate learning, change behavior, and boost the performance of both individuals and the entire sales team.
The sales coaching process we use at Richardson is both simple and effective. When followed, the results are clear. The problem is, sales coaching only works if managers do it properly.
These are three common missteps we see in sales coaching:
Telling vs. asking
The key to effective sales coaching can be captured in three words: they talk first.
Our coaching model is all about asking specific, neutral, open-ended questions — and then, drilling down further with more questions.
Coaching by asking allows coaches to learn about their sales teams and the situations that they face. It builds commitment and buy-in and helps sales professionals take responsibility for their own learning.
There are times when coaching by telling is appropriate, such as an urgent situation in which there is no time to do anything but quickly tell and when moving toward disciplinary action. But, this is always the exception, never the rule.
Directing vs. collaborating
If coaches remember to ask instead of tell, they often do not ask enough questions. They might start with, "What are your thoughts?" or, "How do you feel the call went?" but tend to slowly put on their manager hats and start formulating solutions and giving their opinions. In » Continue Reading.

At this point in the season, no one is surprised that the Seattle Seahawks' defense is dominant (except against Mike Glennon, of course) and no one is expecting the Jacksonville Jaguars to make a miraculous playoff run.
But even contenders like the Seahawks aren't without problems. We've previously examined a potential problem area for the Bengals, but let's take a look at the biggest weakness for the other top contenders in the AFC and the NFC and how each team can solve the issue before the playoffs.
Seattle Seahawks: Offensive line
Russell Wilson has seen both of his top receiving options heading into the year, Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice, sidelined or ineffective for the vast majority of the season. But that hasn't been the biggest ordeal he's faced.

The Boxing How To Guide – Left Hook to the Body
This is one of a series of 5 video articles which together constitute a basic 'Boxing How To' guide for body punching. There are 4 'Boxing How To' videos on hooks and uppercuts to the body and one on straight shots.
In boxing, most fighters really enjoy the left hook to the body. Let me rephrase that. Most boxers really enjoy throwing the left hook to the body, none enjoy taking one! Knowing how to throw this shot properly will really broaden your boxing horizons and may well lead to an increase in your capability to end a confrontation quickly and brutally.
If you know how to throw a left hook to the body then what you have in your arsenal is a punch that can end a boxing match with startling abruptness. Knowing how to deliver the shot to the perfect spot, just below the bottom rib into the liver, and knowing how to deliver power to the target at the same time can leave the toughest of opponents helpless.
Even after the initial impact, surge of pain and breathless incapacity, supposing your opponent finds a way to remain upright, their problems are far from over. The residual effects of the shot can continue to be felt for a considerable period of time, hampering the efforts of the opponent who is desperately searching for ways how to get themselves back into the boxing match. Basically, a period of 'body shot fallout' ensues during which you can build a commanding lead due to your opponent's relative inactivity.
Before we look at how to throw a left hook to the body, it is worth understanding one thing. When throwing a left hook to the body, we will use the short range left hook. This is true even when we are at 'mid-range'. Rather than 'turn the fist over' to produce a true mid-range left hook, it is far better to extend the length of the short range left hook and use this instead.
Oh yes, knowing how to deliver the perfect left hook to the body of an opponent is boxing gold. Check out the video and then read on to find out more about the mechanics and common faults.
Boxing How To Guide – Mechanics of the Left Hook to the Body
In order to learn how to deliver a left hook to the body, we need to know how combine 2 boxing skills; the duck and the short range left hook. The steps in the process are:
- From the boxing stance, the first action is a bend (or 'drop') of the knees. This is covered in the article on ducking.
- As the duck is taking place, there is an explosive thrust from the ball of the front foot. This explosive thrust generates a clockwise rotation of the hips and upper body.
- As the rotation of the hips is taking place, the lead arm is accelerated toward the target. The arm should hold a given form depending upon how far the fist must travel to the target. So, if the target is at true close range, then the arm should undertake only minimal movement. If the target is at mid range, then the arm will 'arc' more and result in an 'L' shape at point of impact.
- The rotation of the upper body must deliver plenty of torque to direct the most power possible to the target whilst remaining totally in control. At the end of the rotation the fist clenches and impacts the target.
- After the shot has landed, the arm returns to the guard position and the boxing stance is returned to normal (rising from the 'duck' position).
Boxing How To Guide – Common Faults if the Left Hook to the Body
There are 3 common faults that you should be aware of.
- There are occasions where you may not duck when throwing the left hook to the body, for example when an opponent is leaning forward with their head down and is providing no threat. However, a general rule of thumb is that you should lower your centre of gravity by bending the knees. This can add power but more importantly reduces the amount of time that your arm is away from the guard position.
- Don't lean forward as the shot goes. This is a recipe for disaster as a) your body weight moves towards possible incoming shots and b) you will be less able to deliver additional punches after the left hook.
- Don't 'arc' the shot too much, especially when up close. This is a real waste of energy and leaves a major gap in your own defences.
There we have it, a 'boxing how to' guide to throwing a left hook to the body. There are a number of possible variations in how and when to throw this shot, including the position of the opponent, the stance used (southpaw or orthodox) by the opponent and the physical characteristics of the opponent, for example their height. To prepare for all eventualities though, this method will give you a good baseline to continue your education in how to throw the perfect left hook to the body. Boxing gold!
You might be wondering how to defend this shot. Check out the article titles Boxing Tips – Defensive Inside Fighting to find out more.

Many times it is anger that will fuel addiction. The anger management therapy groups at Decision Point Center benefit clients by teaching them to recognize the warning signs of oncoming anger and use calming techniques to deal with those situations in a positive manner. Anger management therapy teaches clients how to live a healthy and productive life by offering the necessary tools to effectively manage anger. Anger is normal and is considered healthy but only when one knows how to properly express and manage it. This is what anger management teaches.
Anger Management Therapy activities include:
- Identifying anger triggers
- Creating anger logs and journals
- Role playing in various scenarios
- Weekly assignments in understanding unmanaged anger and rage
- Relaxation techniques featuring guided imagery and deep breathing exercises
"I've watched clients learn to understand their anger triggers and manage their response instead of allowing anger to control them. For those who suffer from anger issues, the sense of personal confidence and control that results can make all difference in achieving a lifelong recovery."

|Attention Before you read this tutorial, I highly recommend you check out my resources page for access to the tools and services I use to not only maintain my system but also fix all my computer errors, by clicking here!
This particular error is fairly common amongst all versions of Microsoft Windows, so hopefully the information contained in this post will help you resolve your particular problem.
The 0xC0000005 Access Violation error is very broad as it encompasses a number of different problems. Due to this reality, you will be required to try an assortment of solutions to rectify your problem.
When the 0xC0000005 Error Occurs
Typically, when the error occurs, you will receive the following message:
"An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated. Exception: access violation (0xC0000005), Address"
This message will usually appear after you have attempted to run an application in Windows. After you close the error message applet, it will usually terminate the application, prohibiting you from running it. The 0xC0000005 error code may also appear in other error messages, depending on the particular application you are trying to run or install on your system. This error may also appear when attempting to perform specific functions or run inbuilt operating system tools, such as the disk defragmenter.
The cause of this error is numerous; however the most common are malware infections, registry corruption, corrupt device drivers and faulty memory. An incorrectly installed Windows security update is also known to cause this error.
In the past, the Symantec Antivirus tool was known to cause this error. Users would be greeted with an error message that would refer to a SAVRT.SYS file; a simple update was all that was required to fix the problem however.
Fixing the 0xC0000005 error
Because of the unique nature of this error, it not being clearly defined and so, referring to a plethora of problems. The number of solutions are equally as numerous. Thus, I highly recommend that you try all the solutions I've mentioned below, until you find something that works for you.
Run Registry Scan
This error is often the result of poor system maintenance and a corrupted operating system registry. Corruption in the registry is typically due to the installation and uninstallation of programs; this is especially so when users install programs over other programs without deleting them first.
In order for you to rectify this problem, you would have to access your registry and remove all the duplicate and redundant entries within it, but that's a procedure that can be very complicated and long-winded. Other implications of altering your registry, is the prospect of rendering your computer inoperable; that's if you accidently delete the wrong entry. This is where registry repair software comes in handy, as it automates the entire process. Users need only download, install and click on start for the program to scan and remove inappropriate entries.
There are many different registry repair tools out there, but I personally recommended RegCure Pro, primarily because of its multifaceted nature, its ability to remove malware, enhance system performance and repair your registry. You can find out more about this product here:
Run Virus Scan
If you have a virus on your computer, then the 0xc0000005 error you are receiving could be a symptom of it. If you suspect that there may actually be a virus on your computer, then you will want to run a full virus scan of your system immediately. If you don't already have an antivirus program running on your computer, then I highly recommend you use SpyHunter, alternatively you could check out my post on the best antivirus tools.
For more information on SpyHunter, please visit the following link:
|The solution(s) below are for ADVANCED level computer users. If you are a beginner to intermediate computer user, I highly recommend you use the automated tool(s) above!
Corrupt Video Card Drivers
Sometimes users will get the 0xc0000005 error, right after they have updated their video card drivers. If this is when the error first occurred for you, then I recommend you rollback to your previous drivers; which is a fairly simple process. However, if you don't know how to do it, then I suggest you check out my post on repairing ati2dvag.dll errors.
Corrupt Printer Drivers
Sometimes this error is due to an incompatibility issue between the printer profile and the settings of a program that you are attempting to use it on. If the problem occurs every time you try to use your printer, then I recommend you reinstall your drivers.
For more information on how to do this, I suggest you check out my post on fixing printer spooler errors.
Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
Data execution prevention (DEP) was first introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2; it is basically a set of software and hardware technologies that are designed for making additional checks to the memory in order to protect it from viruses. From Windows XP SP2 and onwards, the DEP is enabled for both applications and hardware components.
The reality is that there are some applications that aren't fully compatible with DEP. Applications that use a technique called dynamic code generation, and don't mark these generated codes with an execute permission, will typically have issues with DEP. Applications that were developed without SafeSEH are also prone to problems when DEP is enabled on the operating system.
When an application violates the DEP, the user will receive the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) error message.
If you think the 0xC0000005 error you're receiving is due to the DEP, then you have two options. The first is to contact the owner of the application you're having problems with and ask them for a resolution. The second option is to disable DEP for the application that is giving you the error; this can be done by doing the following.
1. First, ensure you've logged into your computer with full administrative rights.
2. Then click on Start -> Run [Windows Vista/7: Press + R], type sysdm.cpl and click on OK.
3. This will bring up System Properties, from here, click on the Advanced Tab, followed by Settings under Performance.
4. A Performance Options applet will pop up, from here, click on the Data Execution Prevention Tab, then click on for all programs and services except those I select, then click on Add.
5. An Open applet will load up, simply navigate to the exe file of the program that's giving you problems, select it, and then click on Open.
6. Once you've done that, click on Apply, then OK.
Faulty RAM
There are times when a 0xc0000005 error may be due to faulty RAM (Random Access Memory). If you have recently installed new memory into your computer, then that should be your primary culprit, simply remove the memory, and then check whether the error has gone away.
If you haven't recently added new memory to your computer, then you may want to consider conducting a test on the memory modules, to check whether they are stable. For more information on how to do this, I suggest you checkout my post on PC stress test applications.
Update Internet Explorer 6.0
Does Internet Explorer appear to freeze whenever you attempt to open specific web pages; is this application freeze accompanied by an Access Violation 0xC0000005 error code?
This particular program typically occurs when you attempt to open web pages that have the SPAN tag in them. If the SPAN tag is not properly closed (using ) in the html, then the user will receive an access violation message. The solution to this is to update Internet Explorer to the latest version.
You can download the latest Internet Explorer from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/internet-explorer/download-ie
Remove Windows Update KB2859537
If the error message started to appear right after you updated your operating system, then it's recommended that you locate the KB2859537 update and remove it (assuming it's on your computer). If you cannot find it, then just remove the last security update you downloaded.
For a full tutorial on how to remove Windows Updates, I suggest you check out my post on repairing Ntdll.dll errors.
Use System File Checker
If all the methods above failed, then you may want to consider running system file checker, as a last result. This tool is designed to scan your computers system files and replace any that are corrupt or missing. The chance of this tool fixing this particular problem is slim, but it's still worth a try. For instructions on how to run this tool, I suggest you check out my post on repairing Winsock errors.
Are you looking for a way to repair all the errors on your computer?
If the answer is Yes, then I highly recommend you check out RegCure Pro.
Which is the leading registry cleaner program online that is able to cure your system from a number of different ailments such as Windows Installer Errors, Runtime Errors, Malicious Software, Spyware, System Freezing, Active Malware, Blue Screen of Death Errors, Rundll Errors, Slow Erratic Computer Performance, ActiveX Errors and much more.

About Us
Can you remember the first time you used binoculars?
I sure can. It was a pair my parents had and they would not let me use them enough (At least that is what it seemed like). They were huge, but they sure showed an awesome picture and made it seem like I was an arms length away. This was 30 years ago. A few years ago I even bought a pair of binoculars that were the size of a small laptop and weighted about 3 pounds (they reminded me of the ones my parents had). When I think about these times it is easy to say things sure have changed.
Today's technology has made binoculars smaller, lighter and much more powerful. Even night vision is possible. Many people learned that night vision was possible during the desert storm war. You know the war in Afghanistan. I was one of those many people. I watched CNN and was glad to know that technology could really be used for applications so vital like the war.
Today I have found the applications for binoculars endless. So much so that I decided a website is the best way to get the word out. Do you know all the uses for binoculars? I am talking about at sports venues, hunting, bird watching, security and so much more. Now that I think about it how in the world did we make it without these things. I cannot imagine, but my interest is fueled by the endless options binoculars have provided.
My history with binoculars is the driving force for this site. I want everyone to know as much as I do so no one will miss the action. I hope you are ready to experience it all like I have been through my specs. I think you can see my passion for binoculars is one I enjoy.
Nature sure looks wonderful through my specs. I love the experience, because it is never the same. God sure is awesome and I am amazed like a child each time I look at what God created. If you are not ready to see everything through some binoculars then you sure do not know what you are missing. Guess I will go have some fun. Feel free to join me.
Thank you for visiting my site.

One wanted to trade me his Schilke with 2 bells for it. With this cut down mouthpiece it really wails. I'm gonna take it to a big band rehearsal on Thursday night and to the NYE gig.

|Dude, shut the f*** up. You sound like an idiot. f***in' army lover
|LOL Ok. first of all those are just regular glasses, that happen to have a sports band. The weapon IS a 240B, the 240G are automated and are attached to automated weapon systems on things like the M1 tank... the 240B is what you see here. the scope is the

|-ing time. Those look more like BC's to me though.
|To be exact, that is an M240G, I don't know exactly where you got the 'B' from. Yes, the M240G is a machine gun, not a f***ing sniper rifle. You would be hard pressed to use that weapon as a sniper rifle, what with it being fully automatic, all the f***
|That is a machine gun, the M240B to be exact. The scope on top is not a sniper scope...it is a sighting device.
|1. It's not a machine gun, it's a sniper rifle. 2. Those are chemical mask insert glasses. They a**ure that you keep a good seal from chemical attacks while wearing a gas mask.

|The scary thing I must point out is that sooner or later that gun will be replaced by nuclear technology. Hence why I ****ted my pants at the recent events in Pakistan.
|Being a far-left liberal in uniform, I have to point out that we're not all terrorist morons. Barokeva, well...yeah, he's a moron. Carry on.
|Timmy-B is a Troll, responding only makes him come back 4 moar, to him, this is his carrier
|Mark, Timmy-B isn't worth trying to reason with. He's either a terrorist, a complete moron or a far-left liberal. Wait...I just checked my thesaurus and found all three of those are synonyms.
|barockeva - If what you say about the USA being imperialistic and our troops not having any honor was even remotely true, you'd have an M16 shoved up your a** right now. The world would be a better place if you would just eat **** and die. Thank you.
|They put their lives in the dirt for imperialism, not American freedom. Terrorism poses no threat to American way of life. The biggest threat to American way of life is the American government.
|barockeva, I'd put the honor of the great folks I serve with in all branches against any honor of yours. These brave people lay their lives on the line to allow you the freedom to remain ignorant and vocal. You're welcome, Timmy.
|Eh, is it working?
|The mindset has changed. Warriors in the time of the sword had things like honor. Something missing these days.

|Courage, the unnatural condition in which to ignore natural behavior.
|No, barockeva. This is the first step in building brave folks who have the courage to protect the freedoms you take for granted. Try not to speak of what you do not know.
|Conditioning: getting people to act thoughtlessly on command.

A majority of women pick up bras that looks fancy and smart. Lace, net and underwire bras can be tempting to the eyes, but it is very important to pick up the right bra size for yourself. Many women are not aware of the side effects on health of wearing a wrong bra.
Wearing the wrong bra size can lead to many health problems. So, if your bra becomes loose or tight, it is an indication, that you need a new pair of bra for yourself. Most of the women have the habit of wearing loose-fitting bras. Bras lose their elasticity after a few washes. This can be bad for the breast as loose fitting bras can damage the breasts size and shape. So, if you do not want sagging or popping out breasts, you need to wear the right bra size. Check out the dangerous health effects of wearing a wrong bra size.
1. It can cause breast pain
It is one of the most common health effects of wearing a wrong bra size. Tight-fitting bras that are not comfortable especially leads to breast pain.
2. It can cause back pain
Wrong bra size can also make you cexperience frequent back pain. This usually occurs in women with large breast size. Using a bra that does not exactly fit you, makes the lack of strut in the chest, and the due to the effect of gravity it makes the owner of the breasts more vulnerable to stoop, causing pain in the hip area. If your bra is too tight, it can also exert too much pressure on your rib cage. So if you are wearing a smaller sized bra, then be prepared to suffer from back pain.
3. It can cause sagging breasts
Wearing a loose bra can spoil the breast shape and size. Instead of lifting it up and keeping in shape, the bra can sag your breasts and make them heavier.
4. It can lead to shoulder and neck pain
Again, if your bra is too tight for your bosom, the straps can exert a lot of pressure on the shoulders because it is difficult to lift with a dsmaller strap. This strain from shoulder can go uptil neck, which can cause severe pain. It is one of the major health effects of wearing the wrong bra size, so pick up the right size every time to avoid such complications.
5. It can cause blockage of the lymph nodes
Lymphatic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed. Chronic minimal pressure on the breasts can cause lymph valves and vessels to close. Wearing a bra with a cup size smaller than it should be, causes the failure of the lymph nodes.
6. It can ruin your posture
Wearing a wrong bra size can spoil your posture. Pain felt in the shoulder, neck and back tends to make you more frequently bend, which if allowed to continue will ruin your posture.
7. It may trigger breast cancer
This is one of the side effects of wearing a wrong bra size. In extreme cases, using the wrong bra size can also trigger breast cancer. This could happen because of the size of the bra that is too tight will block blood flow to the breasts, which can cause cancer. Women must stay very careful while picking up the bra size.
8. It may also cause skin abrasions
If you are wearing a pair of improper bra size, it can cause blisters on the skin around the breast, especially when the size is too tight for the size of your breasts.

This paper toy is the Defoko Hat, based on the Japanese singing synthesizer application Utau, the papercraft is created by Skullkid. The Defoko (also named Uta Utane) - Meaning Default Child/Default Girl. This is because of her presence in the standard-issued installer of UTAU, making her the default voicebank. Her name is interchangeable, she can be addressed both as Uta or Defoko. This paper model is her hat.
Uta is packed with UTAU as a default voice bank. She does not come from an organic voice source; that is, her voice is 100% machine synthesized.
Her voice bank is from "AquesTalk Female-1," which is distributed free by Aquest Com. Ameya has been granted special permission by the company to feature their software in UTAU.
Because of this, and adding the fact that she only has Japanese phonemes, Uta is not for beginners. Though some have tried to come up with quality output using her, this is no easy task, due to her excessive airiness, or lack of voice clarity. Users can attempt to overcome voice quality issues through tweaking of note flags in UTAU.
It's been annonced however a fanmade English voicebank is in production, also with special permission of course, most detail are unknown other then that it will have basic English phonetics.
She also appears in the MikuMikuDance. Uta Utane (Enamel) is a MMD character inspired by the Nendoroid figurine. Enamel-P created the original model structure and Suttoko converted the data for MMD platform.
