Sona Mohapatra Shares Her Views On Auto-Tune

Sona Mohapatra is an Indian singer, composer and a lyricist who is known for her outspoken nature. Her voice is very distinctive which makes her singing a lot more special. Sona never shies away from putting her bold opinions out-front. This time she trolled AP Dhillon and Dhvani Bhanushali. During the recent times, the use of Auto-Tune has become a standard practice for many singers. Auto-Tune helps in polishing audio tracks and making a voice melodic. Apart from Sona, other popular singer Sunidhi Chauhan also talked about the use of Auto-Tune in the industry and she denied that she never uses it.

Sona’s Opinion on Auto-Tune

Sona Mohapatra shared her views on Auto-Tune and said, “This auto-tune matter is actually quite a ridiculous thing floating around for too long. Overrated discussion, in my opinion. When you hear Dhvani Bhanushali or AP Dhillon sing live, you know we should have an auto-tune to put out their recorded material and several more like them, but at least some of them dance and lip syncs show, unlike many films well-paid ‘rappers’ who do very little but pose and grunt on stage, and there is an audience for that too.”

Sona’s Views on Off-Tune Singing

There are singer-producers like Ritvitz who’ve made off-tune singing a style of its own, and that’s okay also; his fans like it that way, with different strokes for different folks. At the same time, one should know that we are in a digital age where all recordings are with instruments largely programmed and quantised such that even a really good singer who wows you when they sing live needs some tuning when mixed with machine-made music, so the barrage of auto-tune discussions on line slamming raw and authentic singing at times is sometimes quite foolish.

What Type of Voice Does Sona Like?

Sona Mohapatra said that the authentic voice would lie in embracing imperfections and delivering raw performances that connect with audiences on a deeper level.
