Luke Shepherd

I really like Lukes voice and every time I hear about his experience with music in the past it floors me. I'm not sure I want to believe it. Luke has free open breathing and is engaged at the right moments when he is singing, very smooth mechanics. He has nice loose posture. Intonation on this song wasn't an issue. Expression is good but it got even better. I feel when Mr. Glenn gave him something to think about, about relating the aria to something he loved, the song got deeper. I could sense that tender feeling that he described and it gave me chills. It was really quite nice. Overall I think Mr. Glenn had quite a few good points, I don't know if I entirely agree on the deep vowels part but he is a professional so what do I know. More importantly I feel he was giving really great pointers on how to make the piece his own, which is something I could do a lot more of in my own songs.

Elizabeth Tait

Liz has really great technique. The breathing is free and balloon-like. The posture is loose but grounded and centered. The intonation was open and the song was in tune. Not much I could say wrong about the performance. I feel as Mr. Glenn helped her make that high note fuller he might have been onto something. Its just something that will give more depth to her voice if she can pull it off.
