The industry of messaging services is evidently growing. Dubsmash is a messaging app among a sea of others, and yet much more; it is a video messaging app released in November 2014.
Dubsmash lets you choose an audio clip over which you lip-synch. So while the video is played back, the viewer gets to see you "performing" to that sound. Users can choose from a list of audio recordings in different categories on which to record their own video.
The fun part about the app is that the list of sounds contains thousands of famous quotes from movies and shows and also lots of songs. You choose a suitable quote or song lines and video yourself with the selfie camera (or the back camera, if you prefer). Afterwards you can send the video recording to your friends over Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Similarly you can save the short video on your phone and upload it later in other places, though the watermark of the app will remain on one side.
While it is not mandatory to lip-synch to quotes, songs or even commercials, most people do it for fun. If you can't find the sound clip on which you want to do your dub, you can upload one yourself, but be aware that others all over the world will have access to it.
Dubsmash is the app that allows you to showcase your acting skills to your friends and family. You will have to open up a Dubsmash account to avail yourself of the services. So download this free app and get started. Believe me, once you begin, you'll not be able to stop, especially if you are sharing it with your friends.
