2.I noticed bucket breathing, her chest came up a few times with that "full" feeling
3.It was definitely in tune, there were a few swallowed or shallow moments
4.There was a rich, dark quality to her sound. A few spots sounded covered
5. I thought she had pretty clear diction, but found out it became better after instruction
6.Could have used a lot more expression. It wasn't distracting or unfocused, just unclear on what she was feeling.
7.Cindy suggested she think about intention and phrasing. I heard and saw immediate improvement. It also helped with expression. I thought it was good before, but it became so much better and more enjoyable with applying simple improvements.
8.Over all performance was enjoyable. She had a deep mature sound. The improvement in just a few minutes of instruction was incredible.

2. I noticed Balloon Breathing for the most part, only a few bucket moments
3.In tune for the most part, a few high notes were slightly under or at least appeared to be.
4.There were some great open and free moments, then there were some pressed and tense sounds.
5.Nice rolled Rs, I can't remember not hearing good diction.
6.Definitely more expression needed! There were a few awkward faces, maybe because of the piano?
7. Suggested using the pencil in the mouth to help find upper space, and relieve jaw tension. It was quite enjoyable to notice the improvement and to really hear when he got it and when he knew that he got it.
8. Overall well performed, a few pressed moments, it was enjoyable to listen to. He has a pleasing sound.

2.Balloon breathing for the most part.
3. I felt the piece stayed in tune. I couldn't hear any wavering pitches
4.There were some open and bright parts that were lovely, but dark and swallowed in spots.
5.Diction was clear about 80% of the time. Only a few words i couldn't quite make out.
6. More Expression! I couldn't tell what you were singing about. I wasn't able to immediately identify the emotion.
7.Suggested body placement and grounding/centering self. She focused a lot on alignment of her body. It seemed rather simple, but the resulting sound was amazing.
8. Overall i enjoyed the pleasant quality of her voice. Lovely open sound, just inconsistent.
