Sonuscore introduce Fantasy Vocal Phrases

25/03/2026

Launched alongside new Vocal Phrases bundle

Sonuscore's latest release has been designed specifically for composers working on fantasy TV, film and game scores, and brings together a collection of vocal phrases sung in an improvised fantasy language.

All of the content found in Fantasy Vocal Phrases has been recorded by Katharina Wirtz, a professional singer whose credits include The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle and Anno 117: Pax Romana. Being a phrase-based instrument rather than a traditional sampler, the new arrival provides users with complete musical ideas performed by a real singer rather than 'stitching together' multiple notes. The parts are sung in an improvised language made up from phonetic elements rather than real words, an approach which Sonuscore say has resulted in phrases that feel linguistically believable while remaining completely abstract.

Everything has been recorded in all 12 keys, so every phrase can be made to fit in with any composition, and the instrument comes equipped with a phrase builder that makes it possible to combine parts of different phrases to create new variations. There's also an FX page that houses built-in four-band EQ, delay and reverb processors.

Key Features

Phrases in All 12 Keys: Every phrase is available in all twelve keys. Match the tonality to your track immediately, then select phrases based purely on musical and emotional criteria.

Combinatorial Workflow: Play the beginning of one phrase, cross into another. Build new musical sentences that never existed in the original sessions. Two phrases become dozens of potential combinations.

Production-Ready with Flexibility: Recordings are presented with a dedicated reverb section for immediate results. Disable processing entirely to apply your own compression, EQ and spatial effects.

Professional Game Soundtrack Credentials: Katharina Wirtz has sung on The Elder Scrolls Online and other major fantasy game productions. The same vocal approach used in shipped, critically-acclaimed titles is now available for your own work.
