The Odd Issue of Character Audio for Sita Ram

Over the last few episodes, there has been one thing heavily bothering me - the tweaked voices of Sita (Madirakshi Mundle) and Ram (Ashish Sharma) in your serial.

It is increasingly frustrating to hear the original beautiful voices of our lead actors tweaked to increase their "divinity" so to speak (at least that's what I'm guessing). When Mahadev made his appearance recently and had his dialogue, I got a sense of what might be the reason behind why Ram and Sita's voices were so different compared to say Lakshman and Urmila's voices. The audio effect that was put for Mahadev's voice is more or less the same effect set for Ram and Sita's voice.

From my observations, Ram's voice was somewhat more "hidden" if I look back at previous episodes, but Sita's voice was always more obvious and I don't like it. For example, in the Swayamvar scene - if you listen to Sita's dialogues after Ravan insults her and Janak you can notice a difference in the isolation and modification in her voice versus someone like Janak. In a future episode when Ram was explaining why he broke the bow, his voice was a little different as well. Not as outstanding as Sita's voice modulation, but still noticeable.

They both have a wonderful voice, and in the special case of Madirakshi -- she has such a beautiful voice (skip to 1:30); there isn't a need to make it unnatural for any reason:

I just hope and wish the CVs realize that and stop altering her voice to make it all weird and heavenly and whatnot. I don't know their motive nor their aim, but I'd rather have a Siya aur Ram speak normally, then electronically isolated and emphasized. To put it into better context - it sounds like the "auditorium" audio effect is in place for Sita, her voice is always isolated and "booming" as if she was speaking in front of an auditorium.

I know the way I'm describing it is horrible, but just watch / recall recent episodes (heck today's episode would serve as a perfect example). You'll understand then.

So, I wasn't the only one who felt that it was weird what they did to Ram's audio. I would rather hear clear voices than "divinity".

I knw they were doing this since a long back .
Original voices could give more strength to the actors .
As well a better impact of the characters.

Nice observation👏

Love,
