Les Berceaux
Shifting weight from one foot to the other constantly, shoulders hunched, neck forward, bending forward, preventing abdominals from releasing. She's not sure what to do with her arms. Breath is high and gaspy. Clavicular breathing. You can see her shoulders and chest rising with each breath. The breath is not deep and full. If her body were more aligned, she would be able to use expand her ribs and release her abdominals, allowing her to have a more full breath. This would help her sustain breath energy to the end of phrases. Her tone would be more full. She would look much more comfortable and collected.
Seben Crudele
His neck head is jutting very far forward. His hips are out in front of his shoulders, putting extra strain on his neck and back. I don't know what he's doing with his arms. His breathing is high in his chest as well. His tone sounds really clear and full even though his body is doing strange things. A deeper breath, used efficiently, would allow him to breath less often and connect these long phrases. His tone sounds great. If he could support that lovely tone with efficient breath control he would probably loose that slightly pressed sound, and would be able to get the sound without so much cost to his voice.
Roadside Fire
Arms are stiff and tense. Hips are in front of his shoulders too. They look tight and locked. His weight is shifting all over, he doesn't look comfortable or stable. On higher notes he juts his chin and head forward. Tension in his body is not helping the tension in his voice in the upper range. I'm not saying that it would completely cure his tension up there, but it would be a good start! His breath was very short and high and gaspy. He was having to make up for the lack of breath energy by pushing and muscling his sound out.
