Shalayna Guisao
Very nice bright sound. Lofty resonance focused in the back rather than the front of the mouth. She has a very healthy vibrant sound, a wonderful model for healthy singing. The vowels were a little closed off which caused I think some diction pitfalls. I couldn't understand everything. The help she recieved with understanding the text and speaking it with more feeling and emotion helped her overcome those pitfalls. It was quite a remarkable improvement.
Jake Spjute
I like Jakes confidence. I wish I had as much. He doesn't freak out when he hits those high notes. There were places where the airway sounded constricted like he might be reaching and forcing the sound. The pencil trick helped open it up quite a bit and added another demension to the sheer power Jake gives during his performances.
Elizabeth Tait
Elizabeth has a very bright, clear, clean, healthy voice. Totally free. Confident. Vibrant. Most of what she can improve on I feel is appearance. In helping her loosen up her posture whe was able to make the song more stylistic. I was able to connect more with her after that.
