Think about those little plans that bring you to "collecting and creating"!

Finally!
These don't need to be anywhere as such! They're through:)
Hoping this will be fun for y'all :
P.S.
Those that have been there way before. 7/16 I see :()
Too recent
I thought, why don't I have these in place? For the first time ever, I went back to "Morning Raga" and a couple of others a decade later. Would you like to hear how I was purely into it for a couple of days, and the "swaras" definitely had me capturing the glimpses? I remember how I wanted to go on and on. Enhancing certain abilities is greatly possible with such songs. An elegant shift is a major trait of songs like Maate Malayadwaja. Firstly, some ease with enunciating those swaras and then that swift shift. A terrific warmup if taken seriously. Good that I consciously captured my baby steps to such classic songs.
Okay, so here's the thing: those with a "cold tendency" or a stuffed nose, dry throat, and those who are recently recovering from such scenarios, I fully get you. Don't force the mouth into some particular shape just to counterbalance the strain. Rrather, notice what kind of opening feels easy and lets the sound come out without adding pressure. These are the glimpses from when I was sick. By the way, consider that "meowing." And yes, be okay with giving it less "push" if it can't be so smooth. If that raspy effect shows up because the voice has been through so much, that's more of a reason to ease off than push through it. The thing is, think about the place where the vocal crack arrives. It's all strong until that vocal crack arrives, and you may feel that shift toward the other voice. And that is fine. You can "tweak" it or lower the volume a little and see whether that lets you oscillate more smoothly toward the other voice without forcing the transition. That's how you may maintain that "smoothness" across such a journey nonetheless. In lowering the volume and effort, "smoothness" can sometimes become more achievable. "Don't fight that transition". And just after doing so, you'd want to softly (without any suffocation/discomfort), fully and much consciously follow that movement as the song takes you to the head voice scenario. An "upper plank" position that your head seems to be in won't exactly create the voice by itself. Moreover, let that "other" voice happen rather than overstressing to stick around the sound of the "chest voice" area. "Sounding" is too subjective to deal with, so let's not stress over it too much. Don't forget to notice how the mouth opening and the sound coming out of it can majorly affect how easy or effortful things feel, but if the voice is hoarse or uncomfortable, giving it rest matters more than trying to sing around the problem. As far as "Jeevithame Saphalamu" is concerned, it's like walking over the leaves in a lake. Stay in that realm. Overall, imagine a bored, drained heart browsing through things and coming across songs blossoming with some serious nostalgia. Such 2 days gotta be fun! After trying to figure out how they go, here's to sharing how playing around with songs heard almost a decade ago works & how you don't need to and need to process the songs!
Years back when I used to use Windows Movie Maker and shared these across social media platforms. These can go right in here. Here's what I saved:
