SpongeDubs

Josiah Ryan Winslow (born: Jan 23, 2001 [age 18]), better known online as SpongeDubs, is a YouTuber who does "SpongeBob sings" covers of various songs (mostly ones that are popular), much like another YouTuber by the name of Maestro Ziikos, who does a simular type of content.

Using Programs such as YouTube to Mp3 Converter, Notepad++, Sony Vegas Pro 13, and Celemony Melodyne Editor, SpongeDubs creates a video made from source clips that contain a clear-enough audio sample from any moment in which a character (SpongeBob SquarePants, as a prime example) speaks a certain sentence, word, or other phrase, that he then uses to complete a lyric that is sung in the certain song that's being covered. He then exports the raw audio that was used from the afformentioned audio/video clip souces, and imports the audio file into the digital audio pitch correction software Melodyne, to tune the audio of the vocal samples to the correct keyed pitches that match the original song's melody. Once that step is completed, he exports the reworked audio that he then imports into Vegas Pro, (the video editor that he uses,) to lastly do a couple more tidying-up sort of edits here and there, And then after all of the entire process is completed, he renders the finalized version of the video. From there, he uploads it to his YouTube channel, where he will often schedule the video's publish as a premiere for a specific date.

History


His first official "SpongeBob sings" video, under the "SpongeDubs" name, is SpongeBob sings "No Tears Left To Cry" by Ariana Grande, Published on Jul 17, 2018.

But in April of 2017, before "SpongeDubs" even came to be an idea of his, he made SpongeBob sings "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars[3], which he later decided to upload in 2018, after having rediscovered the video file.

The Video's Description States: "This episode was lost to the sands of time...until I found a copy in my underwear drawer. In all seriousness, this video was made in April 2017, long before SpongeDubs was even an idea. I'm reuploading it here for posterity."

Which means that this would mark one of the earliest times he has ever made a "SpongeBob sings" video.
