All this comparing yourself hand in hand or voice to voice with Freddy Mercury himself A feat that is not easy to match, but one that you can put to the test to find out if your fanaticism for Queen lives up to what your vocal cords can do to imitate him.Do you want to participate? Then grab your headphones and follow these steps.
The Freddimeter
The service we are talking about is a kind of karaoke minigame called Freddimeter, and you can find it on the website of the same name. It is a project that is supported by the development of artificial intelligence from YouTube, and that takes advantage of these technical virtues to compare us with the incomparable Mercury.
We have enjoyed it directly from the mobile, taking advantage of the headphones with microphone (hands-free) that we have at hand. It seems to us the most comfortable option. But you can also use your desktop computer or your laptop if you have a built-in microphone and are shameless enough to bawl in front of the screen and not hide in some corner of the house.
Just access the web and wait a few seconds for everything to load on the screen. You will soon see that it is a website that pays homage to the legacy of Queen where you are asked if you can sing like Freddie Mercury. Of course, all in English. Press the Let's do it button to begin.
The next step is to choose the Queen song with which you want to test your vocal prowess. You have four well-known options: Don't stop me now, We are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to love .
What comes next is a small preparation screen for what's to come. Here you are warned that the best experience is lived with hands-free headphones. And it is that these microphones with headphones are capable of reducing environmental noise and better capturing your voice.Something that will allow the artificial intelligence behind all this machinery to analyze if you hit the mark and if your timbre is anything like Freddie's. On this screen you will also have direct access to the part of the video of the Queen song that you are going to sing. A good way to at least warm up your ear and try to imitate what you see. If you are satisfied with all this, press the button Start singing
By the way, you can record your performance on video if you feel worthy of it. Or if you want to embarrass yourself repeating that moment when you felt that the spirit of Freddie Mercury possessed you. You just have to click on the camera icon at the top, where it says Turn Camera On, and allow this website to access said component of your mobile. By the way, you will also have to give this website permission to use the phone's microphone. Indispensable part for this experiment. And now yes, to sing.
Freddiemeter's format is like any karaoke. A few bars of music and the lyrics of the song begin to be underlined in real time on the screen. There are no choirs or a voice to help you follow the melody. Only your knowledge of Queen and your skill are on your side.
After a few bars of the song the karaoke ends. It is time for the AI of this service to do its job and evaluate you. Do you look like Freddie Mercury singing? Well, three indicators and a final assessment will tell you. These indicators refer to the tuning of the notes, the timbre of your voice and the rhythm of the melody With all this, an average indicates the percentage of Freddie Mercury that you have running down your throat. Do not hesitate to share the result if you feel proud or if not, you will surely cheer up a fan.
