SHUT UP! And AUTO-TUNE my voice already!



Whoa!Whoa!
Now hang on. Spare me the look guys. And the knuckles. And the GUN :O.Sheeesh...I know the title sounds pretty harsh and..OUT THERE..but hey dun blame a girl whos just trynna grab yalls attention eh..

So first things first. Assalamualaikum everyone! How are you guys doin? Erghhh..Im at the moment panicking just a teeny bit, yeah, because up until few hours ago I had NO IDEA what to babble about on the blog this week. Well thank god for a certain skinny homosapien named Farid Latiff who just happened to utter the word AUTO TUNE! And that word totally triggered my mind to talk about it on this weeks entry. So thank you fellow friend on that!

Well, you guys are aware of the existence of this magical thing called AUTOTUNE right? It is actually a type of software which alters pitch in vocal and instrumental recording and performances. Well, to make it more comprehensive it basically changes ones voice from sounding like Rebecca Black  (notice the color of it is equal to the color of a certain unpleasant waste LOL) originally to sound more of Mariah Carey! I KNOWWW. What a shame.

 Anyways, my idea here is to actually use this very auto-tune software to allow educators whose pronunciation themselves are.. ermm how shall I say this?..Questionable? to have this software to assist them in their teaching. As many are aware nowadays, students in schools today, at least the ones living in the city, have a good command in English and they are at a level, what we call as the native-like speakers. So to have English teachers with questionable pronounciation of English words posted to these schools where by these native-like speakers of students are at will be really intimidating and overwhelming for them (for the teachers I mean). And also not to forget the fact that as teachers, we would only want the best for students as we do not want to make them confused or even worse teach them the wrong way of pronouncing the words.

So, why not use this auto tune software which can be sync with say, a mic, and teachers or even students can have a good time teaching and learning the correct way of pronouncing words by uttering them into the mic. And the mic will then detect their voice and the letters in the words spoken. It will then transmit the data to the software and the output of it, is the correct way of saying the words which can be their very own voice with the perfected pronounciation along with a lil accent thrown in there just for the fun of it! VOILA! Hey, technology these days can make wonders no! So, why not!? Anything to grab your students attention and for their betterment.

Then again, these are just my thoughts and ideas that came out from this brain which constantly thinks about ridiculous stuff. But hey, you never know, it may not seem that ridiculous anymore in the future if they ACTUALLY invent THIS! :O That would totally blow my mind away. Period.

Thats all I guess for this week. Till we meet again next week with yet again, another interesting topic I hope with a panic tone! Enjoy the post and leave your thoughts of what you think bout this idea (If you have any) in the comments below! Keep em coming! Ciao VVVitches! Have a great week ahead! XOXO - SitiMuzlifah
