Thank you mam for guiding us because I used to do such mistakes often but now after watching this video I am aware. Your videos are always helpful for every vocal student.

[@shashikrishna1628]

Super well said..yes doing similar mistakes and it's an eye opener thank you for sharing your experience and tips ❤👍🙏🙏🙏

[@meenakshisubramanian5639]

I’m already on the path of realising this for years but more way to go practically. Thanks for opening this up and I feel I’m not alone. More respect

[@noneofus007]

This was a very important video that you made! Thank you for that! I have inside knowledge of this industry, and I know for a fact that even the original singer sings in a lower key when performing live. This is the only way they can preserve their voice during multiple shows. Modern studio recordings are multi track, and singers can sing just 2 high pitched lines and rest for hours before they sing the next line. They can take hours, days or months to record a modern song. Also, in the past, studio recordings were done on spool analog vinyl tapes, which could be played back at slightly higher speeds to make it sound like the singer is singing at a higher pitch. Even radio stations probably played vinyl records at slightly higher speeds.

[@RajuSharmaBhusal]

The margdarshans you provided in this video are very precious. In today's world we can hardly find an instructor like you who shares her complete understanding after lots of trials and eradicating all sorts of errors then leaving us only the Amrit to consume. You are Great madam and I wish you that sangeet may not depart you, even if you get punarjanam the sangeetik technique that you had developed should attach without diminishing its qualities. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

God...as vedio proceeded, i could relate myself

[@nameislarto]

Very very true😂😂❤️❤️(especially 2nd point)

[@Enysum]

Always happy to learn more with your videos! I struggle a lot to be okay with changing the key of the songs I sing to fit my range because it can so easily change the feeling of the song. I'm sure there's a relationship between keys and feeling of the song beyond major and minor keys. Is there a way to figure out what keys will help retain a similar feel?

[@VoxGuru]

You’re right! There is a reason why a composer chooses a particular key and that adds a certain feel and X factor to the original song. But if we don’t have the same voice type and try singing on the same key with a lot of strain, that feel and X factor will be lost anyway. So it is better to bring it to your key but with a proper understanding of the highs and lows and how to produce those frequencies in your voice. It is definitely possible to create an almost similar impact on a different key, but requires a good understanding of your own voice and observing the various vocal registers.

[@sarojshah886]

Exactly, my attitude like that...😅

[@divagarp9487]

Really its gonna help me.....

[@divagarp9487]

DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE VOLUME THAT WE NEED TO USE WHILE SINGING

[@dabhishreya]

Thank you Got question regarding 3rd point : you've to keep your voice in good health. Is it any connection with food ? Like do not eat oily , spicy or do eat specific things then what ? Is there any effect of voice by food. 🤔

[@VoxGuru]

Yes, some foods make us feel scratchy in the throat or induce phlegm. Try and observe which foods do that to you and make it more difficult to sing. It varies from person to person. But in general a healthy balanced diet and good hydration helps keep the voice in good health.

[@hazaragifolk]

[@suchitra6585]

Mam I started to sing 2022 but I can't still do vibrato technic😔 it was do my confidence lower

[@VoxGuru]

Don't worry you will get it! Hope you are focusing on all aspects of music, not just the vibrato. Gradually your voice will get more flexible and the technique will become easier.

[@jagaddhatrimishra2082]

Then how to sing or practice on karaoke? How to change the scale there ?

[@VoxGuru]

Karaoke singing has some limitations as we cannot drastically change the pitch. But we can change the pitch slightly by 1-2 semitones using software and it may not sound too odd.

Madam But the audience does not accept low octave Lata ji high pitch song I sing in my range only my guru appreciate because guru says my pronunciation is perfect my feeling while singing are very nicely brought out my taal is perfect but my all friends says pitch Lata ji jaisa nahi ayaa How to educate audiences

[@VoxGuru]

Even if we sing in our range, we need to bring out the similar impact so the vocal technique also matters. The tonality of the voice needs to be appropriate so that it suits the feel of the song.

[@satyakalaiyer3347]

@@VoxGuru tone is proper madam

[@noneofus007]

Just because a person can sing at a higher pitch does not make them a better singer. The melody, feel, emotion and singing in tune makes a good singer (like Jagjit Singh). Remember that even Lataji sang her songs at a lower scale when performed live. Modern singers do the same thing. Also, back in the old days radio stations played cassettes and vinyl records that generally played at higher speeds making the singer sound higher pitched. Very high pitched, screechy songs can cause listening fatigue.

[@digantadas1317]

Dear Sarathy ma'am, I m from Guwahati working with N.F. Rly., I' m a guitar player. I sing by my own way not getting the exact melody. I m 52 years old. Is it possible to learn. Please give your mobile no. I will spent only 10 minutes. B,cos Pavarotti n Domingo song singing skill I think we can't achieve. Please give your mobile no

[@errol-ih4jy]

I DISAGREE, I WENT FOR THE ORIGINAL PITCH IN THE SONGS AND MY VOICE IMPROVED AND GOT STRONGER, AND I BELIEVE YOU NEED TO COPY PEOPLE ALSO, I AGREE ABOUT COPYING YOU CAN COPY FIRST THEN FIND YO OWN VOICE, TOO LONG IN WARM UPS CAN MAKE YOUR VOICE WOODEN, 20 MINUTES A DAY IS ENOUGH OR YOU LOSE YOUR STYLE.

[@teresamickle4431]

But u lost weight

[@nuranichandra2177]

I disagree with the first point. A film song is composed in a particular scale for several reasons besides the original singers vocal range. The mood and punch of the song gets destroyed when someone lowers or increases the pitch. Better not to attempt those songs that are beyond ones range.

[@VoxGuru]

Never attempting a song that you love just because it’s beyond your range? Disagree! A song is a lot more than its pitches and frequencies. If one loves a song and feels connected with it, there is nothing wrong in singing it in your comfortable range.

[@nuranichandra2177]

@@VoxGuru try singing Kuhu kuhu bole koyali ya in A# as opposed to the original C# and you will know what I meant.

[@KumarK-cn1sj]

@@nuranichandra2177 Can you tell me how to recognise the scale just by hearing ?

[@VoxGuru]

I always sing Lata ji songs 2 semitones lower than the original key. Doesn’t stop me from feeling the emotion or bringing out the nuances. Most female songs of the golden era were at very high pitches. To say that only people with the same range should even attempt them is quite discriminatory and against the spirit of learning music.

[@sharadamalladi3729]

I think the first point meant, everyone is blessed with a certain voice type and one shouldn’t unnecessarily imitate the songs in same original shruti. It’s absolutely right and lot of things in music is about experiential learning and music sense. No statement is written on stone and the sense need to be imbibed in us via almighty

[@asagi4646]

Useless lectures. Useless analysis.

[@VoxGuru]

Ouch! 😀

[@noneofus007]

The only thing useless here... is your comment

[@noneofus007]

The only useless thing is your rude and disrespectful comment to a teacher who is sincerely trying to teach. Clearly, you are neither a singer nor a student.
