Wolf howls! Auto-tune! Random, creepy, nine-second voice-over interlude! This is going to be blasting from my speaker dock from now until forever. You’re welcome.
What bothers me about most videos using autotune is that they go overboard with the effect. I prefer a little bit of subtlety. Like in this short clip of the iPad keynote.
