Ben Shaw voice recital notes 09/12/2013

1. Hannah Lovato
2. Breathing: rising of shoulders is evidence of misplaced breath. Sometimes, when expelling air at the start of words, air leaks out
3. Intonation: sometimes let voice get heavy, affecting intonation.
4. Timbre: sweet, light voice, sometimes lost buoyancy.
5. Diction: unclear
6. Expressiveness: good facial expression.
7. Masterclass: NA
8. Overall: a good performance.

1. Jaren Putnam
2. Breathing: Balloon breather
3. Intonation: beware of sustained notes. Some, approached by an ascending line, were below the pitch. Some others, when approached by a descending line, were a little sharp
4. Timbre: light, resonate voice, air of maturity; good sound.
5. Diction: great!
6. Expressiveness: good facial expressions.
7. Masterclass: NA
8. Overall: convincing performance

1. Laekin Burgess

3. Intonation: a bit under pitch at the top of melodic contour.
4. Timbre: melodious voice
5. Diction: More would be great, especially in medial consonants.
