Elizabeth Tait VRH 10/24/13


Ben Shaw – You would think with Ben that he would need more chiaro, because he’s got a dark voice.  However, I believe his singing voice sounds like his speaking voice, leading me to believe that he has good chiaro
Kaylee Ann Simmons – I really believe that she needs more of both chiaro and oscuro. I got a weak sense of both, and neither was farther along than the other.
Mandie Skousen – more oscuro, because I really like the sound of her voice because it sounds natural speaking like.  I sense that she needs more body power, and that means she would have more oscuro if she got that in line.
Laura Wride – She’s singing in a musical theatre style, and that’s harder for me judge because I don’t know a lot about it.  I think she might need more chiaro, because the voice felt ping-less, if that makes sense.
Emily Cottam – She feels generally really well balanced on both for me.  I think that chiaro can go farther, and oscuro can go deeper.  But it sounds nice right now to me!  She does have a fast vibrato, which maybes means that she could use more free flowing air…
Brad Summers – I feel like he was well balanced….
Bric Slade – I love the lightness of his voice, I wish we could now add more oscuro without pressure.  When he tried to add weight, it was exactly that, weight.  Not space.  So he needs more oscuro…
Luke Shephard – such improvement this semester!  Just sayin.  But I wish you had more oscuro, especially on bright vowels such as [i] and [e], and sometimes [a]
Jaron Putnam – he needs more oscuro and chiaro…..ummm.. but probably more oscuro right now.  Really, all these singers need more of both, but it’s a decision of which one is prudent to work on right now. 
Caitlin Craig  - she has very little connection to air, so she needs more oscuro. 
Taylee Beckstead  - in the higher range, she needs more connection to body and air, which is oscuro!  wooho what about low range? I feel like it’s well balanced in low range.
Sam Meredith – This one is confusing to me.   His tone cuts through, but it also feel swallowed.  So I believe he needs more chiaro, but possibly teach that through release of restricting things…
