Rama Vaidyanathan, Voice Therapist

Dr. Rama Vaidyanathan is a speech language pathologist, who has been doing work in the field of voice and voice disorders since 1985. Her latest assignment involved training the new Coke V Popstars band - "Aasma".

She has setup a clinic - SHRAVAN SHRUTI VOICE LAB. This was started with the aim of providing complete and comprehensive voice health care to all those individuals :
a) who value their voice,
b) to whom their voice is precious, and
c) those who depend on their for a living! (actors, singers, dubbing artists, comperes, models, etc.)

Rama holds a bachelor's degree in Audiology and Speech Therapy, and a Masters degree in Linguistics from Mumbai University. She is also a trained classical singer (trained in Carnatic classical music). This unique combined knowledge and experience in both the fields, gives her an edge over others in understanding the needs of artistes.

How is the voice analysis done?
With the help of the computer, the voice of an individual is analysed and broken down into its various components such as pitch, intensity, amplitude, loudness, etc. This gives numerical weightage to each of these. Even the smallest and earliest changes or abnormalities in the voice of a person can be picked up, much before it is discernable to the human ear.

Traditionally, a music teacher sets the pitch of the singer and a music director sets the pitch of playback singing. Though these are more or less correct, the computer sets the pitch precisely and accurately - every time. This results in an obvious improvement in the singers performance. So the artiste can amalgamate his / her knowledge of music and modern science to improve the standard of music.

Voice care and hygiene
The voice box is a physical structure of our human body, predominantly made up of muscles. Like an athelete builds and trains his body, these muscles have to be trained also, toned and maintained in perfect shape. With supervised voice rest regimes, daily vocal exercises, warm ups and cool downs before and after a recording / performance, as well as dietary modifications, Dr. Rama's therapy ensures that the singer's voice is in top shape. At all times.

As Dr. Rama puts it, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." She was also appointed to voice test the finalists of Coke-Channel V PopStars 2.
