^Like Vocaloid, UTAU is a singing synthesizer, the difference is UTAU is a shareware and you can make your own voicebanks.
UTAU is very interesting because you can make voicebanks for any sound source. You can make the voicebank's quality be good or not so good, depending of your resources, and the quality being not so good isn't bad because often people make experimental songs and covers. Like, there is a UTAU with the sound source from a squeaky door (Tobikara Doa) and Neru's sound source is from Miku's voice samples, for example. UTAU makes experimental art possible... And make your own characters sing... And more yuri for the soul too, as there are more female synthesizers than in vocaloid.
But as you are using a product from a individual person for free (There are paid UTAUs too, but most of them are from Windows), you need to really read the Terms of Use for respect the person's wishes. And if you want a voicebank, download it as soon as possible because someday the creator can stop distributing it.
