When You Are a Disney Star



Many young stars start their careers on disney channel. They all start acting in new shows on the station. Soon, however they are also singing. Most of the disney channel stars have at least one album out. So I wonder, how can all of these actors and actresses sing? I get astonished by the same thing on the show Glee. When stars are guests on the show, they often sing. And so I've become curious, do most actors and actresses learn to sing? Do they do this because they want to be singers or so they can have more acting oppertunities? Or do they learn to sing at all. When it's a digital recording, how can you possibly know how it really sounded?

Man vs. Machine


Now- a- days technology has a huge impact on music and the way it’s made. Many artists are not just singers, they’re technological mix masters. Some artists that do this are T-pain and Timbaland. This can provide for a cool new futuristic sound, however some skeptics argue that this synthetic sign hides the artist’s lack of singing talent. I however, think that even if singing isn’t their particular skill music certainly is. This artists sure have a way with technologically creating sounds. So this is the question I pose to you: Is computer generated music any less artistic than that which is naturally produced by voice?
