Breathing is balloon and free. Diction is good. I feel there is some tightness in the upper notes. Free flowing air is needed, but he is getting there. Intonation on some high notes is a little flat.
Cindy asked him "What’s your favorite part to sing? What parts of the music really bring you sensations of release and emotional engagement?" Tried to get him to tap into that same sensation and applying it to other parts of the song. Talked a lot about the "magic Unicorn horn" that we all need to be singing into. I feel that this will allow him to get his placement more correct and in tune. Also by creating the line of music by linking the text together would allow for more smooth singing.

Expression is very good. Diction is very good. Breathing is very free and open. Air flow is free and trusting and open. Luke mentioned that he looked at each phrase of the piece and asked "what is my objective". This definitely helps in the expression of music. There should always be an idea in your head, a reason why you are saying what you are saying.

I felt that there was some gaspy breathing but for the most part it was very open and free. The air flow was also free for the most part. Worked on "line singing" where she was chopping up most of it. I feel there was more of a connection when she did this than when she was chopping the song up.
