Belt it out. Practice singing along to your favorite tunes or find a song for your performance with Slacker Radio. Listen to your customized radio station and sing along with lyrics in preparation for your first big gig.

Practice makes perfect. Prepare for star status with vocal exercises. Voice Tutor begins with a diagnostic reading in order to detect the areas of your voice that need improvement. Then, it offers personalized voice lessons, complete with voice exercises and tools such as a pitch meter and a piano playback.

In tune. Tune your guitar anywhere with GuitarTuner and complement your vocals with the perfect acoustics. Or compare your voice’s pitch against the app to ensure perfectly in-tune songs.

Be a one-man band. No track is complete without instrumentals. Try Drums and rock out with some bass, or use Pocket Piano and play a full 88-note keyboard on the go.

Special effects. You don’t need to be in a studio to give your voice the finishing touches. Try Ultra Voice Changer to record your voice and increase pitch, slow down or speed up how fast you sing or, for fun, make your voice sound like an alien or a chipmunk.

Take a bow. When the show is over, why not take a bow? Round of Applause for BlackBerry generates more than 20 unique applause and cheering sounds. (Come on, you know you deserve it.)
