A new voice filter has taken over the video-sharing app TikTok, and the internet is in stitches.
TikTok is well-known for creating viral trends that circulate on the app and even find their way to other social media platforms.
The internet finds the new filter hysterical as the voices were originally used for words placed on the videos. The new effect can be applied when users are speaking in a video. People have been using it to say different words, laugh or even use hit songs for the narrator to sing.

Using the new filters, creators on the app have received hundreds of thousands of likes on their videos.
Above, a user named @hotcoolguy1234 is shocked to hear the voice filter on top of their own voice as well as trying to sing with it on. Their video has gained over 2 million likes since it was posted.
User @anyaemarie received over 600,000 likes for applying a British accent with one of the voice filter effects. Many users commented on the filter's laugh at the end, saying it sounded similar to Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants.
"THIS IS TOO FUNNY BRUH," one TikTok user wrote.
"I was so invested the whole entire video," said another.
@Keepingupwithandre shared a video of themselves using the voice filter to pretend he was a narrator for a JCPenney ad.
"If commercials were actually like this maybe i'd go there," a TikTok user admitted.
"The dua lipa song playing in the background is so on point," another echoed.
@kaylajaidenfrank used the filter to quote the beginning of the fitness gram pacer test, which is an aerobics test given to children in school that gradually gets more difficult as it continues.
"The SECOND you paused I was like 'she's gonna do the PACER test thing' IM SO HAPPY I WAS RIGHT," one user exclaimed.
Another stated, "Perfect use of this voice effect."
Other users—including @gurrlbaii—used the voice filter to see if it could sing. Above, the filter was put on top of Mariah Carey's hit song, "We Belong Together."
"This how we all sound singing her songs," a user laughed.
Another joked, "Where did you get this recording of me singing in my room."
@Jamesanders37 shared the voice effect singing to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."
"This is absolutely sending me," a user exclaimed.
One said, "I feel like I've heard this exact version sang late night at a karaoke bar."
Here's how you can use the voice effect on TikTok.
