Dubsmash and TikTok are very fashionable names these days, viral especially among the younger ones, who can use these apps to express their creativity in a simple way, with original and different videos, dancing or talking like actors or singing like star . With the Dubsmash app, which describes itself as the app for funny selfie videos and is available for iPhone and Android phones, you can record a short video whose audio is that of a famous film, a TV broadcast or a song. In practice, those who shoot the video must pretend to speak or sing in time with the chosen audio track .
For example, you can choose to shoot a video by framing yourself with the front camera, while we say the famous phrase " Basta Bastaaaaa " extracted from the scene of a film by Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo .
Dubsmash is a free app, with which it is easy to create funny videos to send to friends as messages via Facebook and Whatsapp. After installing it, the app asks to specify a language in order to download some already recorded phrases from films, TV series, songs or comic characters. The audio tracks are organized into categories and you can put a star on your favorite ones to be able to use them without doing research.
In the various categories there are famous phrases of many Italian comedy films, of TV characters such as " the usual idiots " or Maccio Capatonda, pieces of political satire such as Crozza's, American films such as Rocky 4 or Back to the future, audio extracts taken from some famous TV spots, Piccinini screams and much more. Each audio track can be listened to for a preview. By touching that choice, you can start shooting the video and then move, speak and / or sing as if you were dubbed, trying to make it seem that those words or that song of the audio track comes from our mouth. In the end, tap on the video to stop recording and save it. Each new " dub " remains stored on the mobile phone and can be shared in a message on Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger. You can also export the video to the gallery to be able to keep and review it even if you remove the application.
TikTok (ex Musically), on the other hand, is another very viral and widely used app, especially by the youngest, to create funny videos with a backing track. With this application for iPhone and Android you can record 15-second music videos using any piece of your favorite songs and then share those videos in a dedicated social network. Tokers can play at the speed of the video, add filters, choose to play the video backwards and use different effects to make the videos more original and more fun to watch.

In addition to DubSmash, it is also worth mentioning here the similar application for iPhone and Android Triller that allows you to create music videos like those of famous singers, only using your mobile phone.
The application allows you to recover while you are pretending to sing, choose your favorite songs and then dub them moving only your mouth as if we were singing (as singers often do on TV). The results are surprising and you can search for videos shot with Triller on Instagram to see what video he can make from scratch. To get started, after installing Triller, tap the plus button to create a new music video project and choose the music to sing for pretend. Select the part of the song to include in the music video and preview it. At that point the camera is turned on and you can start filming the scene with the selfie or rear camera, recording and zooming in or applying filters. The videos, with synchronized audio as if we were singing, can also be edited after saving them so it is not important that they are perfect immediately. Once done, the videos can be published on Triller and shared on Facebook or Twitter.
MadLipz is a similar app to dub all kinds of videos with your own voice, to create parodies and funny videos to share on Whatsapp, Facebook etc. The app, for iPhone and Android, allows you to put your own voice in place of the original one in each piece of film or in a music video.
