This is definitely auto-tuned, and I would guess that 90% of auto-tune goes unnoticed as it can be applied a lot more subtly than this.

As someone who isn't a fan of vibrato, I've always suspected that some singers use it strategically to cover up pitch issues.

FWIW, I don't think modern auto-tune plugins have a problem pitch correcting singers using vibrato.

Melondyne is great with this. Complete lack of vibrato is usually an obvious sign.

I think auto-tuners get a bad rap. As an amateur musician, subtle corrections in post-production can save me days of recording to get the right take.

I didn’t listen to much of this, but the two seconds I heard “I guess it’s all the..” there’s definitely clear artifacting from either auto-tune or compression on the word “all”. And I’m listening on an iPhone.

Not a pro editor, but I know my shit.
