Shobha's most unique feature is that she is a multi-lingual singer as well as VO talent. She has a natural flair for jingles and VOs, regardless of language.

The tag line on Shobha's blog reads, "I sing, I speak, I write - Preferably not all at the same time." In a recording studio however, she says this rule breaks down - and she is comfortable with that!

The first Malaysian to earn the prestigious MA Indian Music qualification from Madras University (and an ASTRO Scholar), Shobha's unique playback singing voice and speaking voice, has been used in both, Malaysian and Indian-made Tamil movies/albums as well as Malaysian TV shows.

She has voiced in English (natural and Indian accents), Tamil, Malayalam (colloquial) and Malay.

Greetings!

I am a multi-lingual vocalist, suitable for a variety of VOs (e.g. corporate, character, conversational, youthful etc). My singing engagements in India and Malaysia make me suited to voicing in Tamil. I've voiced and sung in Tamil (main/ solo vocal) for TV, online and radio commercials. English VOs are another notable specialty and I've voiced in English (various styles/ accents) suitable for use in both, regional as well as local projects.
