Celebrities engage in a nonstop Dubsmash challenge

MANILA, Philippines—The art of lip syncing has been around for ages, but it was only until recently that aspiring actors and singers alike were given the opportunity (or more like the platform) to broadcast their hidden talents in the said field.

Thanks to the mobile application Dubsmash, the one that you see a lot in your Facebook news feed and Instagram dashboard, that anyone with a smartphone can now belt out their favorite songs without strangling a single vocal cord for it, or pretend to be their favorite movie character without missing an inch of the very emotion expressed by their acting hero.

With Dubsmash, all you will need is a line or two from your favorite song or movie, and your over-the-top dubbing skills, and then you’re good to go.

Celebrities enjoy the lip syncing fun

But apparently, even those who are already professional in the field of acting and singing are still not spared from the magic of Dubsmash. Recently, a string of a-lister celebrities unleashed their inner lip syncing experts by joining the Dubsmash fun and they even added a twist to it. They call it the #NonStopDubsmash Challenge and here’s how they’re making it work:

1. Celebrity A uploads a Dubsmash video and challenges another celebrity to record a song line that starts with the last word he/she sang.
2. Celebrity B accepts the challenge, records his/her own song, and then tags another celebrity to do the challenge.

And then the list goes on. To give you clearer visuals of how it works, here are some samples. Let’s learn from the pros:

Now that is definitely not a bad way to get creative with Dubsmash, and to spread the fun online in the form of lip syncing.

But seriously, who do you think nailed it best? Or come on, don’t be shy if you honestly think you can do better. We would totally understand if right after reading this, you will launch that app and start your own thread of the #NonStopDubsmash Challenge.

If you’re more expert on this and you feel like showing the world, we don’t see why not!
