Saurabh ji kitne humble hain na? Itni sweet voice aur expressive singing hai unki... plus male - male collabs ke kafi chances mil jaate hai unke saath. I get to learn a lot from him.

Saurabda was my first stranger friend on SMHe is so grounded and humble ...encouraged me on my 1st Collab with him. Need to get back to SM mode...Will do so after 7th Feb

1. Initially when I got these compliments of voice resemblance to Ashaji..I was zapped thinking..was I trying hard to imitate her just cos I was complimented .later i was told the same even when I used to sing the Male Solos...then it became clear that my natural voice does remind people of Ashaji. I never ever knew that during College days.

2. Now in my second innings exploring her songs is making it a huge challenge for me.

3.Coming to your skills...its absolutely wonderful if u can mimic ...Sudesh Bhosle was sooo good at it. It's not easy at all. Huge talent. Ofcourse u should do justice to your natural voice in certain songs and rejoice that too.

1. Yeah it happens.... sometimes ur natural.voice may resemble some celeb..not a big deal...it dsnt make u a copy cat or something..infact take pride in the fact that u have been blessed with a great voice...

I have similar experience... almost everyone who has heard me says my voice resembles sonuji/rafi(depending on whose song i sing) That is just a coincidence...i never tried to copy them intentionally...and i cant help it..But there have been occasions when i have sung arijit/kishore kumar/mukesh/shaan/Kunal/atif/adnan/himesh n told that my voice is like them...Thats partly due to the fact that voice automatically becomes like that at times and party its due to mimickery - eg atif,adnan, himesh,spb subramanium,mohm aziz,suresh wadekar, vinod rathore,lucky ali etc is due to mimickery not a coincidence! So there Im ok being called a copycat because thats the truth

2. Keep exploring buddy...there is no limit... recently i sang a kannada song although i dn know the language..coming to ur voice, also try English songs at my request..Its fun n u can sing well coz like ur idol asha, u must be versatile too..

3. I agree natural voice is something to be given precedence and that mimickery is actually tougher than singing in own voice..

4. I stopped mimickery unless requested by friends (they find it entertaining)

A- i have become more meticulous now regarding technical aspects and thats extremely tough to achieve while mimickery as im untrained..

B - people think u dn have any identity of ur own

C - u may come across as a wannabe! Like why will a person who is gifted himself/herself want to sound like the latest sensation! In a way u r devaluing urself..

These 3 points are from a critics lens just for the sake of a different perspective 😊

Interesting take on different perspectives.

Oh..nice to know u have tried kannada..I too experiment Regional ones but never tried English.. do share regional songs too Spidey.

Sharing my first kannada song - At laxmis behest

Recording(glitchy to the core) was done during lockdown period grappling with a pernicious menace 😬 Oh my poor throat - So imprudent of me to belt those notes nonchalantly 😬

Excellent rendition Spidey. You correctly discerned the correct pronunciation, which sounded authentically Kannada.

Hey thanks RJ for your acknowledgement 😊

Thanks for upgrade from AB to AJ

seems u r well versed in kannada but i have just searched the meaning of the title - it seems to mean 'i wish or long ' ♥️

Ohh really 😯 ?

Yes dear why not? Do you have any suggestions? Do you know these languages yourself?
