Usually, most people pronounce it as a soft rolled R. Others like "lee".
Though it would help if you listen to the samples of other VB's.

The Japanese "ri" is pronounced with a soft "r", not with a rolled "r".
Japanese doesn't have "l", so they pronounce "r" like a "l".

A soft rolled r. Not a complete rolled r.
And I thought that a soft r still sounds the same as a normal r?
Or...am I misunderstanding things?
Please forgive me.

ehm I get confused too >_> I'm Chilean.
Spanish has soft "r", rolled "r" (sometimes written as "rr") and "l"
So...I think Japanese "r" is like Spanish soft "r", but it can sound like a "l" too.
Anyways, my voicebanks have "r", "rr", and "l" phonemes.

The japanese 'r' is like a 'd'& r'& l' combined.
So yeah, Macne Nana is the best example IMO. Her 'r sounds are pretty awesome *_____*

It's like an r and an l combined, pretty much. Try saying 'r' but curl your tongue upwards a bit. It's a lot like the soft Spanish 'r' (as in, like, 'deportes'), if that helps. ^__^

Re: How to I make my ri note sound right
Japanese tend to lean towards making a "L" sound with their R sounds.
So Ri, would be like rLee
