Jointly developed by Antares, T-Pain's Nappy Boy Enterprises, and Smule (the developer of iPhone musical app, Ocarina), "I Am T-Pain" lets you step into the (musical) shoes of T-Pain and sing and record your own versions of "Bartender," "I'm Sprung," "Dream Girl" and more, complete with the authentic Auto-Tune Vocal Effect. Once you've recorded your song, you can post it on your Facebook wall or your MySpace page, and email it to your friends.

Marco Alpert, Antares VP of Marketing, spoke on the application, stating, "It's been great working with all of the incredibly talented people at Smule, and with T-Pain and Nappy Boy Enterprises to bring I Am T-Pain to the iPhone. T-Pain's hugely successful use of the Auto-Tune Vocal Effect has made it one of the signature vocal sounds of our time, so it's especially gratifying to be able to make the authentic T-Pain experience available to anyone with an iPhone. Maybe Auto-Tune is not so dead after all, huh?"

I Am T-Pain is available now at the iTunes iPhone App Store.
