Don’t we all just love those impromptu evenings spent with friends, doing some of the craziest things: eating, drinking, playing charades and Pictionary, and, as the night wears on, making up our own words to old tunes. We did this one evening in college, and as we got more raucous, the neighbours finally came around, asking if a cat had died. Avoid this eventuality and download a karaoke app to hit the right notes and words and even record your attempts. Here are a few you might want to check out.
Videoke King
Android and iOS
The app lets you download a song to store in your library, to simply plug and play the next time you decide to have an impromptu karaoke session. It also lets you access lyrics through www.gosing.com. With over 357 pages of karaoke and instrumentals, there’s a pretty impressive line-up. The best part: it supports offline use.
Smule Sing
Android and iOS
Have you seen videos of people channelling their inner Beyonces and Justin Biebers of late? That’s probably thanks to Smule. The app goes beyond being just a karaoke tool. It provides a platform to singers to connect with like-minded people across musical genres. There are community song books, vocal effects and messaging services too.
And if you’re not much of a singer, there’s no need to worry. The app can make you sound like a pro with its studio polish effects. And if singing solo is boring, simply collaborate with other singers for a duet. Sounds fun?
