Amber's master class notes 10-29

Master Class 10-29-13
Emily C.
She was dark resonant and round as usual.
Stuff given to think about to help get e better take on the emotion of the song.
Q: What is this (text) about?
 A: A prayer for forgiveness.
Q: Do you think the person saying this prayer is hopeful that God will forgive them?

The advice here is to sing this text from the point of view of having hope. That way there is more room for the positive and less of the negative to take away from the performance.
Then came the fun physical stuff: "Exaggerate the open mouth."
Wow, what a nice difference. With the mouth more open the sound can go more ways and be more effective.She sounded so much better.
In the end the advice I think to us all is to never sing a song from a sad position. Sing whit the idea of what you (or the character) is going to do about it.

Hannah L.
Ahh, Bright, fluttery and playful.
Advice: Pick your favorite part of the song and then superimpose those feelings, and/or the feel of that phrase onto your least favorite bit.
It took a couple of tries, but Hannah really nailed it.
Think and let... THINK AND LET

Caitlin Craig
Light fluty and young. I love it when Caitlin sings because she has fun even when she messes up.
Advice: Keep tellign your larynx, DOWN... "DOWN LARYNX DOWN!!!!... ecpecially onthe higher notes.
Holy freakin' crap where has that big mature solid voice been hiding all this time?
Like...WOW!
MAJOR difference! Way to go Caitlin!
