MASTER CLASS 9.10.13
Hannah Lavato
I enjoyed Hannah’s pleasant,
flowery sound. I think her breathing was deep and supported, and very ballon
like at most times. Sometimes there could be a little bit of bucket singing
because of panic for a phrase pick up, or when the notes started to become
higher in her register. I felt her intonation was accurate to my ears. I
realized that she has been putting a lot of practice on her higher notes
because as soon as she started to get into her higher register her whole throat
and chest loosened up, which allowed her to have a full open sound. All of a
sudden what Cindy has been saying about never practicing the easy things made
sense. Hannah’s middle register is also full and supported but there was no
need for her to think about it and refine her middle register model. Thanks
Hannah! Your performance has helped me a lot.As soon as Cindy explained her
never closing her teeth, there was a noticeable difference in the pleasantness
and the timbre of her sound. She felt more comfortable and more focused. I
thought her overall performance was great! Always a pleasure to listen to
Hannah!
Taylee Beckstead
Taylee’s breathing was quite
good! I thought she understood her upcoming phrase and what she needed breath
wise to accomplish the phrase. But at other times there was a bit of running
out of air. There was a bit of upward motion when she took her breaths. Meaning there was a tightening in the shoulder
area, which caused a bit of tightening in her throat. For the most part I
thought she was in tune. At times during the longer tones there tended to be a
wavering in pitch, but that could possibly be from her vibrato. Easy Fix! I
though her timbre was quite good, though at times it felt very nasally, and a
little squeezed. I thought her diction was on point! Even though I don’t speak
the language she was sing (French I think??) I felt lke I could understand all
the words. I thought she could engage the words a little more with her face,
than with her body, because there was a bit of wiggling when she started a new
phrase. I felt her overall performance was very good and that she now has a
refined model to go back home and practice. Cant wait to hear her again! Way to
go Tayleeeeeeee !!!!!!!!
LaeKin Burgess
Heeeyyy LaeKin!!!! Always a
pleasure to be transported into your world while you sing. You give me a sense
of trust that you are singing something that you have been through in your
personal life. So cuddos to your expressiveness!!!! Your breathing was very
thoughtful and balloon like. There was moments of buckets breathing, but
nothing very noticeable The timbre of your voice was very rich and full, and
deep. Intonation felt easy and something you knew, and not something you were
still trying to figure out! Only thing, I had a hard time trying to figure out
what you were saying. I think it was German! When Cindy instructed you to
loosen your body to have your breathing happen instead of making it happen,
there was a REMARKABLE difference in your sound’s depth and color! I thought
your overall performance was wonderful and very strong. Your color was great
and your thought process was visible, and I thoroughly enjoyed your
performance!
