1. Hannah Lovato
2. Breathing: expansion of stomach and inaudibility of breath is evidence of balloon breath, quick breaths not so much.
3. Intonation: end notes are a bit under the pitch
4. Timbre: Hannah has a sweet, clear voice
5. Diction: Needs improvement
6. Expressiveness: odd movements distracts from performance
7. Masterclass: worked on the timbre of low register, and having an "asian accent" with teeth apart. This was helpful in identifying for Hannah what to work on.
8. Overall: a well-prepared performance
1. Taylee Beckstead
2. Breath: beginning breaths were balloon, more in the shoulders afterwards.
3. Intonation: good
4. Timbre: Mature sound, still a bit breathy in the high register, but big improvement from last year.
5. Diction: clear
6. Expressiveness: sold the song overall, but looked scared after the first high note for a while.
7. Masterclass: Improved breathing with the "pulled over the piano" stuff.
8. Overall: great job.
1. Laekin Burgess
2. Breath: working to breathe; sucking in.
3. Intonation: good!
4. Timbre: clear, sweet/mellow tone.
5. Diction: German requires more, I think.
6. Expressiveness: notes somewhat disjuncted, otherwise good dynamic contrast.
7. Masterclass: "Dipping" helped to improve tense posture
8. Overall: convincing performance.
