Not exactly, but you can hook some mics up to a separate autotune processor that automatically tunes your voice as you sing.

Staff Answer

Some people imitate the sound of autotune by allowing their voice to break, or shift quickly between chest and head voice, using a technique similar to yodeling.

Question

This article is great! Do you have one for "live" vocalist Autotune?

Community Answer

Using Autotune live isn't too difficult. The fundamental keys are to have earphones or monitors which allow the singer to hear his voice pre-Auto Tune (or he will have no idea if he is even close to the right note) and using a computer powerful enough to process the sound without lag to avoid synch issues.

Question

Please can I still sound professional if I don't apply AutoTune to my vocals in a track?

Community Answer

Yes! AutoTune is a new development in music. Singers have been recording songs without it for decades.

Question

Will my voice sound better?

Community Answer

This depends on how much you tune. Match pitch as much as possible, and use auto tune for minor tweaking if absolutely necessary. It's obvious if you overdo it on the auto tune, as it will sound unnatural; if you ever have a live gig and the people don't hear what they heard on the recording, they will be very disappointed. Don't rely on auto tune, but on your talent.
