Get your child ready to sing such T-Pain hits as “Buy U a Drank” and “I’m ‘n Luv (Wit a Stripper)” at your next family gathering!
The“I Am T-Pain Mic”, is a new toy bringing 'auto tune' to the children. Auto tune pitch corrects your voice so you always sound like a star. T-Pain has been a great fan of this tecnology and now, thanks to T, it is available at Kmart and Toys R Us.
The idea for the rapper endorsed mic originated as a cell phone app, but that’s not where the cash is. Marketing to children is so much more fun anyway.. to quote the Pain:
"A lot of kids don't have cell phones, (so) in order to reach everyone, I'm taking it to where it can be a toy," said Pain. "They sell out every week. This was far beyond my expectations."
The "I Am T-Pain Mic" uses auto tune to record songs against a selection of beats, which then modifies their voice for the playback. The microphone also comes with a USB plug to download and share recorded songs.
"We've got add-on packages coming," T-Pain said. "There is going to be video camera you can use with it. We have speakers going on right now and a deco pack to decorate with. We still haven't dropped the special edition ones, which will have more production and be an even better working (microphone)."
Ho ho ho…
