Who does what

Ammamma

Tells the stories, sings the rhymes, shares the old ways, in her own voice.

You

Recording, adding pictures or simple animations, subtitles, editing and uploading.

How to film it on your phone

  • Record in a quiet room with soft furnishings (pillows and curtains reduce echo).
  • Hold the phone 20-30 cm from her mouth and use the voice recorder app.
  • Add pictures, drawings or simple animations over her voice in the editor.
  • Keep her exact words. Her voice is the magic; don't over-edit.

Remedy talk: share stories and old household ways only. Don't tell viewers to treat illness at home; add "For health problems, see a doctor" in the description.

The rules we follow

  • Ask first. Film only people who say yes, and show them the video before you post it.
  • No face needed: hands, voice, food, fields and objects are enough. Never film neighbours or kids without their parents' OK.
  • Label AI-made voices, images or video when YouTube or Instagram asks (YouTube Studio has a checkbox for altered or synthetic content).
  • Use only music you're allowed to use (YouTube Audio Library), or your family's own voice.
  • Be honest in titles. No fake views, no paid subscribers.
