I Am T-Pain

A new toy has hit stores across America: the I Am T-Pain microphone. This toy, intended mostly for children who don’t have access to the I Am T-Pain iPhone app, transforms the speaker’s voice into an auto-tuned song. Users can “sing” to provided beats and even upload the tracks to their computers.

The new auto-tune craze has swept the music industry very forcefully. In fact, you can find auto-tuning in almost every song in every dance club across the country.

Although auto-tuning adds a great effect to songs and allows an artist to have very fluid, automated vocals, it corrects every aspect of a voice, allowing anyone to sound like a professional singer. The beauty of singing still lies in the rawness and uniqueness of an individual’s voice.

Next time you listen to the radio try to distinguish the pure voices from the auto-tuning.
