The 1998 song "Believe" has an electronic vocal effect proposed by Cher, [285] and was the first commercial recording to feature Auto-Tune—an audio processor originally intended to disguise or correct off-key inaccuracies in vocal music recordings—as a deliberate creative effect. According to Rolling Stone 's Christopher R. Weingarten, the "producers ... used the pitch correction software not as a way to fix mistakes in Cher's iconic voice, but as an aesthetic tool." [298] After the success of the song, the technique became known as the "Cher effect" [283] and has since been widely used in popular music. [299] Cher continued to use Auto-Tune on the albums Living Proof (2001), [300] Closer to the Truth (2013), [301] and Dancing Queen (2018).

The school's upper-class environment presented a challenge for Cher; biographer Connie Berman wrote, "[she] stood out from the others in both her striking appearance and outgoing personality."

She earned high grades, excelling in French and English classes. As an adult, she discovered that she had dyslexia. Cher's unconventional behavior stood out: she performed songs for students during the lunch hours and surprised peers when she wore a midriff-baring top.
