Obama T-Pain video

Obama singing Ala T-pain

I guess its no secret nowadays that pop songs produced today are mostly digitally altered to have a perfect pitch or to achieve a certain effect.

And the tool that makes most, if not all, of this possible is Auto-tune. Auto-tune is an effects plug-in for digital sound editing software that automatically corrects the pitch of a voice. There was an explosion of auto-tune songs after T-Pain created a whole hit album using the technique. Other artists soon followed suit including Kanye West, Janet Jackson, P diddy, jamie foxx, etc...

In late 2009, T-Pain, along with the Anteres, the originial company that developed auto-tune, launched an auto-tune Iphone app. titled I am T-Pain. So in Oct. of 2009 at the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the app. was used in some of Obama's speeches and make it sound as if he's having a duet with T-pain.
