Tamil Playback Series

The Tamil Playback Series offers a step-by-step vocal training journey that combines the charm of Kollywood music with classical and modern techniques, guiding you from a beginner to a confident playback singer.

Rooted in Shankar Mahadevan’s own musical path, the TaPS program fuses the richness of Indian film music with the discipline of classical training. Complex concepts are broken down through popular Tamil songs, making learning both effective and enjoyable. As Shankar puts it, “Begin with the familiar, and let it lead you into the vast, vibrant world of music.”

This course goes beyond just singing — it helps you connect with your voice, refine your expression, and understand the structure behind melodies. Through selected Kollywood tracks, voice exercises, alankars, and practice drills, you'll discover:

- Techniques to sing with power and precision

- How to make a melody your own

- The classical roots behind film music

- Skills to perform confidently on stage or in the studio
