As a choral singer, if there’s an app that one day allows me to sing with a fake choir of extremely good singers, I would enjoy doing that all day long. And it would allow my actual choir to practice way more, making our performances far better.



This exists right now!

Not as an app exactly, but you should check out Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurt’s suite of tools called “Holly Plus”:

She did an awesome TED talk demonstrating this:

Here’s a cool example, using Dolly Parton’s song “Jolene”:
