First of all thanks to George for starting this discussion. Atleast now I get to analyse my strengths and weaknesses otherwise have never taken music serious. i am classically trained for more than 10yrs. I had no choice but to attend classes then:) I am very passionate abt singing. Shud thank Kumaran for pulling me into this wonderful place with so many talented ppl. I have made very good friends too and have improved a lot as a singer.

Here goes my analysis.

+

1. Have a good voice.i usually go for the songs i like and don’t see if that will suit my voice or not…

2. my range is pretty wide… I can do songs like mar jaavan, bombay jayashree songs which r low and songs like mundhinam, sundari that r pretty high.

3. I have certainly improved my expressions after joining muziboo.

4. i rely on my hard work when it comes to doing a song… i sometimes sing a line for hrs untill i am satisfied…

5. my sruthi sense is pretty fine… haven’t had much complaints so far:) i myself cant listen to my singing off pitch

-ve

1. I am a very poor listener… I hardly listen to songs… thats a major draw back and tend to go wrong in selecting songs. infact i wud have listened to more covers than originals after joining muziboo:)

2. my lyric sense is very poor. i always concentrate on the tunes and variations and am lost when it comes to lyris.

3. i take a lot of time to record a song. infact envy george when he says he recorded a song in 10mins :)

4. my timing sense is poor.

5. i need to learn the art of mixing

now coming to fun projects

I love doing harmonies… wud be wonderful to work on a song that is harmony focussed…

its fun to work with my muziboo friends on duets and originals. will continue doing so.

I had never trusted my hindi before i posted a song in muziboo. certainly want to improve my pronunciations and work on more hindi numbers.

Looking fwd to ur valuable suggestions…
