I have been engaged in working on voice and speech for the last twenty and odd years. In general I would have liked to describe my approach as Indian. However, the diversity and multiplicity of training methods adopted and methodologies advocated all over the country drove me to the safety of a title less ambitious in scope! My approach is certainly Indian but I am only one of the Indians workings in the area! Time has arrived to compare and assess the rationale as well as the efficacy of the current approaches.
