Like other
karaoke
apps such as
Smule: Social Karaoke Singing
, StarMaker also has a wide
variety of effects and options
to add a layer to each of your performances. Whether you want it to sound silent and solemn or grandiose and operatic, this app has it.
Record, edit, and share
Once you open the app, you can
start recording right away
. You just have to choose the song you want to sing and start singing against the track’s
minus one
. In choosing a song, you may either use the search bar at the top or scroll through the suggested tracks available. You can also take a video of your performance using either your device’s front or rear camera.
After you’re done recording, you can then choose
audio
and
visual effects
to improve your performance. From adding
lighting effects
, filters, and an
auto-tune layer
to your voice, you can do a lot of things in this app. You can even make adjustments to the recorded audio, including its tempo and its pitch. By the time you’re done editing, you could have a performance video that
looks professionally recorded
.
Unfortunately, while you can share your performance on social media, other users
need to download the app
if they want to watch or listen to your work. It
limits the reach
for people aspiring to show their work to more people by sharing on social media. Additionally, there are
no private options
for using the app,
leaving children vulnerable
with the content they access and people they connect with.
For professional artists
For performers and artists looking to bring their craft to a wider audience, StarMaker is a good option to start. It helps you create
professional-looking performances
with just a few touches. Unfortunately, while it lets you share to the social media platforms, it’s not in a format that is can be played as is. They have to download the app. Lastly, the lack of privacy options makes it
inadvisable for young users
