I made a karaoke the other day and the effects suddenly disappear after the syllable is sung...
In the Particle section of Particular, there is a little graph called "Opacity over Life" there are some presets that may be of use to you, or you can manually draw your graph. This graph gets normalized to the Life of the particle and it will also take into account the Random % on the life (if you have any).

I couldn't do that, the particles start from random points in the syllables radius >_<
I'm not sure how or if shinji's script can generate positions of the syllables but pichus can. If you want the particles to emit from a single point at the center of the syllable then you would link the position of the Point emitter to the positions the script generates. May sound complicated but all it takes is a simple modification of the second tutorial I made.
