Musical.ly

Kiiana Mason, Staff Writer

Musical.ly is a fun app that kids, teens, and adults all use to make videos of the lip syncing songs or character voices from movies. People can also use the app to just make cool dances or tunting with their hands.

I got musical.ly back in March and have been using it since. It’s funny to admit that I was TERRIBLE at them when I first started making them. But, over the progressed time I’ve been making them, I have actually gotten good… I haven’t been making them very often, but I have been making them here and there. I have about 610 fans which isn’t a lot compared to other musers, some have like 10m followers and even higher than that. The most likes I have gotten on a musical.ly is 216. The reason I got so many is because I used the popular tag at the time #dandelion challenge. At the time, other musers were taking videos with that tag. The point of that challenge is to get a dandelion and ask some if you could take a video of them blowing it out, and while they are opening their mouths you hurry up and put the dandelion in their mouth giving them an unexpected prank, while getting the funniness on video.

On the musical.ly app there are things you can do to get yourself out there for the musical.ly world to know your name. Like… using the tag #featureme, #lipsync, or like a recent challenge tag that has been added to the app. What happens is the musical.ly people who created the app look at your musical.lys with those tags you put on them, and if they like the video you have made they will make you musical.ly on the feature page and all musers on the app will watch YOUR musical.ly and your likes will start to rank up and you will get a lot of followers… once you get to certain amount of followers you get a crown which makes you musical.ly famous.

The app is tons of fun and I highly suggest you try it or try it with a friend. It is also a lot fun to make them with other people cause you feel like your actually playing parts of characters which makes it TONS of fun.
