Fantasy Vocal Phrases is a phrase instrument rather than a sampler: each phrase is a complete musical idea performed by a singer, not a line assembled out of single notes.
The vocals were recorded by Katharina Wirtz, a professional singer the field credits with extensive work on major fantasy game soundtracks, including large open-world titles. The field states this is the first time this voice is available as a scoring instrument rather than locked inside a game production.

What a phrase isA complete human performance. The field states that nothing is stitched together
The languageImprovised and phonetic, with no real words — linguistically believable and entirely abstract

Its referencesThe field points at solo vocal lines from The Witcher and The Lord of the Rings rather than a Latin choir, and names The Elder Scrolls among the worlds it is written for

A phrase instrument gives up control on purpose. You do not write the line — you choose which of the singer’s lines belongs, and the improvised language is what keeps that line from ever saying something the picture did not ask for.
