Morshed Mirza Ali is quick and agile in movements, his speech causes quickness in motion and leads to the appearance of epic performance. Years of reciting sung-plays (Ta'ziya) has increased his ability in curtain-storytelling and his performance is influenced by this genre of sung-playing. The connection with the audience, control and self-confidence, powers of improvisation in the needed correspondences relating to contemporary subjects, and faith in the truth of the told stories are his other particularities.

[6] This happens while the melody modulation is not corresponded with what we know as the Mahur acoustic space.
