If you’re looking to dive into singing with all its emotions, quirks, and surprises, you’ll probably vibe with my classes. ### What My Classes Are Like - We focus a lot on **Western contemporary vocal training** - think Pop, Soul, Jazz, Blues, Indie. That’s my world. - Not just singing the lines - we dig into **song interpretation techniques** so you can make a song actually feel like yours. - Explore vocal tones, harmonies, runs, even some *thoda* (a little) jazz scatting if you’re up for it. I love seeing people try new stuff with their voice. - If you want to try for Trinity Rock & Pop exams, I’ve been through it myself and coach students for it too. - Classes are for anyone from first-timers to folks who’ve sung a bit before. No one’s judging here. ### My Approach - Everything’s online, super chill, and honestly just about helping you find your sound. - I keep things real - I’m not the “perfect” teacher, but I bring experience from gigging, recording, and even those not-so-glam moments from being in a band. - We laugh, we mess up, we keep going. That’s singing. If you’re looking for **online singing lessons for beginners** or just want to get more real with your voice, let’s jam. ## Highlights Browse through Pratika Gopinath's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/pratika.gopinath/vocal-coaching/featured) - [Video: This is what it's all about for me.

I sing, I teach, I play. Just landed in Mumbai, chasing the music dream, you know how it goes. Started teaching vocals kinda by accident, no fancy Western training, just learning as I go. Took the Trinity exams to help my students out. Online classes during lockdown, told my folks I was new, we learnt together. Four years in, it’s wild how much joy singing brings, both ways. Still figuring it out, loving every moment. ### My work - **Live Performances & Session Vocals**: I do lead and backing vocals, harmonies, choir work, and indie session vocals for ads, films, and more. - **Western Contemporary Vocal Classes**: I teach Western contemporary vocals, focusing on feel and emotion, not just technique. - **Playback Singing & Collaborations**: Playback for OTT shows and films - like 'Holdin' On' for Bandish Bandits S2, and 'Enemy' in Gehraiyaan. - **Vocalist for Easy Wanderlings**: I sing with my band Easy Wanderlings. Check us out if you vibe with soulful music. - **Open to New Projects**: Just moved to Mumbai, keen on fun collabs and new work. Hit me up if you’ve got something cool. ## More services from Pratika Gopinath - [Studio & Session Vocals](https://mytribe.in/pratika.gopinath/studio-session-vocals) · ₹10-50K per song/session (estimate) - [Live Vocal Performance](https://mytribe.in/pratika.gopinath/live-vocal-performance) · ₹15-80K per live performance (estimate) - [Commercial Acting & Modeling](https://mytribe.in/pratika.gopinath/commercial-acting-modeling) · ₹8-25K per day (estimate) ## Experts similar to Pratika Gopinath on mytribe - [Vocal Coaching by Shubhangi C](https://mytribe.in/voxy.lady/vocal-coaching) · ₹800-2,500 per hour (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Studio & Playback Singing by Trishita Recs](https://mytribe.in/trishitarecs/studio-playback-singing) · ₹5-25K per song/session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Studio Vocal Recording by Akanksha B.](https://mytribe.in/akanksha.sings/studio-vocal-recording) · ₹3-12K per song/session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Electronic Music Production & DJ Workshops by Smokey](https://mytribe.in/smokeysound/electronic-music-production-dj-workshops) · ₹1,200-8,000 per person per session (estimate) · Audioqube DJ & Music Production Academy - [Tabla Instruction & Workshops by Yashwant Vaishnav](https://mytribe.in/yashwant_vaishnavofficial/tabla-instruction-workshops) · ₹800-2,500 per hour (private class) (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Sitar Training by Chintan Katti](https://mytribe.in/chintankatti/sitar-training) · ₹800-2,500 per hour (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Kathak Classes & Workshops by Garvita Sharma](https://mytribe.in/garvita.kathak/kathak-classes-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per class/workshop (1-1.5 hours) (estimate) · Acacia Studio - [Sitar & Zitar Lessons by Hardik Verma](https://mytribe.in/hardikvermaa/sitar-zitar-lessons) · ₹1,200-3,500 per hour (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Live Music for Events by Pranav Patil](https://mytribe.in/pranavpatilmusic/live-music-for-events) · ₹5-50K per event (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Yoga & Fitness Coaching by Pinky Shah](https://mytribe.in/pinkyshah_arts/yoga-fitness-coaching) · ₹400-2,000 per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) - [DJ Education by Shanaya S](https://mytribe.in/shanayas_/dj-education) · ₹500-5,000 per session (estimate) - [Crochet Classes & Coaching by Crochetkari](https://mytribe.in/sangeethavprabhu/crochet-classes-coaching) · Crochetkari ## Book To book Pratika Gopinath, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Vocal%20Coaching%20by%20Pratika%20Gopinath.)
