There are original arrangements by members of the app - the lyrics indicate to you when is your time to sing. You have a feed, messages, songbook and explore function. Smule is an entire social media platform. Had I known that, I wouldn't have chosen Let it Go, it's so hard. That’s nice.Īfter setting up a profile, you get going right away. I could find about 90 percent of the arias and songs which popped into my head. When it comes to classical and musical theater music, it does looks like the repertoire in the Appcompanist library is quite impressive. But the repertoire is unfortunately not there.Īs said, this app has only classical and musical theater pieces. It would be ideal to be able to do this for pop, rock and jazz songs, this IS where we need this feature. So this app is the best thing that ever happened to you if you want to sing, say, Schubert, and choose your best key. Lieder, chansons, chamber music, those are often transposed. It’s very useful for classical songs, though. So it seems impractical to have this feature in opera arias or musical theater. It is my understanding that in musical theater songs are also written usually for specific voice types and are not expected to be transposed. However, when it comes to opera, arias are written for a specific voice type. You can save your custom version of the accompaniment to a library. You can also change the tempo and turn the melody on and off. Here's the coolest, most useful thing: You can be transposed to different keys! I love this, super valuable. They all have piano accompaniment, which is pretty good. In the free version there are only 10 songs you can sing. After changing the key, speed or anything else you can save it in a playlist of your custom exercises. You can take it one octave higher or lower, and you can decide on the post if you want to descend or ascend.Īnother cool thing: you can save a custom version of an exercise. But you can also change the starting point of your warm up! That’s great. There are a TON of exercises there, so please don’t do them all.īetter than Vocalizer: They start on the C note, that would be a comfortable range for most. That’s not so good, if one doesn’t know to start with consonants then closed vowels then open vowels. However, like Vocalizer, it doesn’t tell you which sound to use on a given exercise. Surprise! there are also vocal exercises on here! The build up is relatively good, almost as good as in Vocalizer (which is my current favorite warm-up app. This app seems to be focused on classical and musical theater repertoire. To be fair - the standard for karaoke is lower: there are no vocal technique requirements here. So often a student would want to sing a certain song, but the original key would not suit their voice.ĭoing this karaoke app review was a thrill, especially after reviewing singing apps, which teach how to sing, and getting heavily disappointed. For me - finding this option to change a song’s key, in some apps, was a game changer. Recording is a plus, because that’s a good practice tool.ĪND a beautiful, super useful feature I discovered exists here in the app world - transposing the song. Pausing the song, rewinding and forwarding is a must (you’ll see it’s not granted though). If you don’t agree, you have a very different idea of karaoke than me. If it’s not entertaining, it’s not karaoke. An app should give me something extra that I cannot get on youtube. There you can sing any song you want, as much as you want, for free. YouTube is overflowing with karaoke versions of all songs.
