In Indian vocal music akAra sAdhaka has got immense importance. It helps to develop the voice.
After a student learns the sarali,janta,mEl sthAyi,dhATu varisas and alankArAs,he starts to practice them not only in akAra,but in ikAra,ukAra,ekAra and okAra as well,in different rAgAs.S.Rajam used to stress the point that akAra sAdhakam should be practiced in all the 72 mEla rAgAs.If you practice it in early morning,that will surely help.When you practice akAra,the there should not be any jaw movement,only the vocal chords should get the movement.
Listen to this Alapana by K.N.Ranganatha Sharma.This recording was done at my home.He was on the way to GuruvAyUr,where he was to perform at the temple later in the evening.

in my view akarasadhana is a must in order to do justice to chowkakala krithis. madhyama kala krithis contain akara within the krithi.. and one should have deffinitely done some akara sadhana before handling chowkakala krithis.kaapi wrote:Proper akAra sAdhakam helps the singer to sing the madhyamakAla well. Otherwise the madhymakAla singing would not be crisp and this would affect adversely not only rAga alapanA but neraval and tAnam also.
according to me , thyagaraja krithis(madhyama & duritha kala krithis) help one to get the priliminary subject for akara sadhana.
