Sarah Boucher: Sarah's breathing seemed to be fairly released. The German was accurate, but the vowels could be a little more focused. I saw a nice focus in character. I could tell that you know what you were singing about. The timbre and sound felt like it was falling in front of you. I think that there were a lot of good things happening during your performance, but I think that having more free-flowing air might help release the breath even more.
Jared Campbell: Jared's shoulders looked stiff, and his rib cage needed more release. It looked like he was holding it, and not letting it expand. His timbre seemed appropriate for the piece. Free flowing air could help the connection in the sound and release in the voice. His sternum also needed to be lifted.
Carolee Beck: Her sternum needs to be raised. Her breath would be much more released, if her lungs were able to expand. It seems to be in a speech-like place. Sometimes the timbre can be dry, coarse, and with a wide vibrato. I wonder what would happen if she raised her sternum w/out collapsing and had a sense of more free flowing air.
