Vaheguroo Jee Ka Kalsa,

I was wondering if any kirtanees would off tips on how to improve my voice. I have been doing kirtan for many years and my voice seems to be getting worse by the day. Do kirtanees just rely on sa re ga ma? If so, how long for? and what different tunes? All tips would gratefully be accepted.

fathe ji,

Kirtaniyae are always learning throughout their lives, it is impossible to learn everything in a life time. I have been learning keertan for a few years and ustaad ji always makes sure riyaz is being done. at least half an hour of riyaz a day should be done. Start with doing your sargams slowly and then use the mandar and tar scale also. Then start sing patterns. After a while start using different speeds. DO NOT use a vaja/harmonium when doing riyaz it hinders our voice. Sing with just a tanpura only touch vaja keys briefly every now and then if you are unsure you have hit the sur. Once you have done the shudh scales, start with the scales of a raag depending on time of day, e.g. bhairav in morning, yaman kalyaan in the evening etc. use different raags everyday or every two days to help improve your voice further.

Although singing loud is good however there comes a point where some sing too loud. this strains the voice which i have seen does cause damage in the long run, however this is more like shouting / singing. in terms of voice quality i think its what youre given, cant really change a husky voice to a sweet smooth one. concentrate on your singing skills. sargam practice is one which can be developed in multiples. learn how to bend the notes ghamak. e.g goign from sa to dha, depending on the raag.

Erm no, sikhs do listen to your voice too, along with the shabad of course. And you just gave contradictory advice, first you say sikhs wont listen to your voice and then you ask the poster to practice sargam. Make up your mind lol

The more you do riaz in the lower register the better your voice will be and higher in the octaves you will go.

SA is most important, then start to go slowly down the saptak Ni, Dha, Pa . . . . . . . in the lower saptak, this really helps the voice.

Also drink a glass of warm/water in the morning this helps the voice.

My teacher said me to take break after every half hour of practicing.....in that break drink some coffee or hot water etc.

Also doing riaaz of sargam at 4 to 6 in the morning is better.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
