Voice Recital Hour Observations: August 29th 2013
Sarah Brenay: Intonation- Pitch is very "lifted". No intonation struggles. Pleasing to listen to timbre. A resonant sound but without being nasily. One "high" note in the song didn't seem legato and effortless. Possible lack of breath support? or even just preparing for the pitch and thinking of it on the same level as the other pitches.
Sarah Boucher: Expressiveness! Great connection to the song. Could feel the emotion of the piece. I understood all of the words, and the timbre was bright and pleasing to listen to.
Taylee Beckstead: This piece has a very difficult melodic line. Watch the intonation on fast moving "wide" lines. (arpeggiated chords) Loved the connection to the piece, and even though it was in a foreign language I was receiving an emotion for the piece, and I understood the feel of the piece.
Mariah Boyer: Noticed expansion of the ribcage. Breath sounded supported. Noticed a lack of legato line on the higher pitches. There was a disconnect. Noticed a "tight jaw"
Carolee Beck: "Shaking head" vibrato- no need. Stylistic breathiness to the timbre and sound. Breath is a little "shoulder shruggy". Breath from the diaphragm!
Emily Cottam: Moving of upper body singing. Effects the sound. Timbre is more covered. Work on increasing resonance and brightness? Diction was hard to understand. More consonants.
Caitlin Craig: Light and a little breathy timbre. Great expression! I learned a lot about the song through the expression and the way is was performed.
Laura Berg: First breath, didn't notice expansion or proper preparation.Beautiful song! and well sung. Heard the pitch go in and out in a few spots. Work on legato line.
