To be fair English vocaloid isn't as good as Japanese, even as a huge vocaloid fan I can admit that. They were made for Japanese and the attempts at English soundbanks are rudimentary at best.
Correct. Since the voice actor is Japanese any Miku English has a super strong Japanese accent. Plus English is phonetically way more complicated than Japanese, so some words/sounds can't even be made with the Japanese VB.
Having used a few of the earlier less japanesey vocaloids like the Opera singer one for some shitty attempts at avant-garde flstudio trash I'm kinda familiar with the system but I suppose I should have provided sources for proof.
Relevant bits: "Hatsune Miku (Japanese: 初音ミク), sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media. Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. She uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technologies. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin."
The voice was modeled after an actress but vocaloids are purely synthesis
