Chapter 98 : The Art of Dubsmash-ing

About 2 weeks ago, a friend introduced me to an app which most of you may have heard of by now, Dubsmash and I've pretty much been annoying my friends with it because it's just that... amusing?!

To describe dubsmash in my own words; it is an addictive app that draws you into making short 10 second videos of yourself dubbing to audio recordings of almost anything you can imagine. Not only can you find recordings uploaded by others, you can upload your own recordings too (just in case you can't find what you're exactly looking for). From there, you can upload your videos on social media platforms or send it to friends for them to have a laugh and hope that they don't upload your silly antics to the world without your permission.

The fact of the matter is that as fun and silly the app allows you to be, there is more to dubsmash than meets the eye.

Dubsmash allows room for creativity and individual self expression. Coming up with a dubsmash video is as easy as 1.2.3 but to do a good dub is something else. Getting your audience entertained is much harder than it may actually seem in the video because not only do you have to dub it right, you have few attempts to figure out how you're gonna act out the dub to make it believable or funny. It's all about hitting the right notes and making it believable/relatable for yourself and your audience.

Although you may feel a little awkward when you first start out looking at yourself acting, you'll slowly start to get use to it after you realize how fun it actually is. For me, I'd have to admit dubsmash brings a side of me that I never knew existed, where I can express myself through silly videos and even act as a stress reliever. After awhile, I realize that it can get pretty boring, and on the top of my bucket list is to have a dubsmash-off with someone, just anyone.

Here's a compilation of my own dubsmash videos for your entertainment, I might regret this in the future but who cares, I live for the moment. (Be warned, contains strong language!)
