Luke Shepherd Masterclass 10/29.2013

Emily Cottam: You had excellent facial expression at the beginning but then it didn't change much throughout. It seems that you know the overall mood of what you're singing about but you could use more specificity to make one part different from another. It looks like you're taking good breaths but sometimes you don't suspend it and your rib cage collapses immediately. Wow, when Cindy had you open your mouth you had so much sound! Your voice had more depth and resonance and I even heard some overtones. Open your mouth, girl! Great performance.

Hannah Lovato: Very fun facials throughout, you were very engaged in the piece. I love the resonant timbre of your voice. Careful that you don't lose oscuro in your upper register. The high notes seemed almost effortless for you. Don't lose head space that you have in those higher passages in the middle passage. Very rich voice and great performance.

Caitlin Craig: You always make me smile when you sing because of your cheer and your smile. I don't think you prepped for that first note, though. I feel like you lose the "huh" primal sound when you go high and you lose that tracheal tug. Cindy focused exclusively on that and there were really nice moments when you got that balance and connection.
