Master Class Critiques

Hannah Lovato
Hannah is amazing! Her timbre is bubbly and bright. Her breaths were generally low and balloon like however I sensed a lot of nerves taking a toll on her. I think this piece was new to her which explains her use of the music. There seemed to be a lot of tension in her shoulders because of this as well and a lack of expression. Her high notes are free and vibrant but, as Cindy pointed out, in the lower register it gets a little muffled. If she practices keeping her head up and her teeth apart (which sounds really hard to me) she'll be right on track.

Go Taylee! Your breaths could be even lower in your body. Occasionally your leg moves which is distracting. I saw expression on your face but it wasn't in your eyes. I think you could feel it even more which might get your mind off of your technique a little more and free up your voice. One thing I notice is just that your high notes sound covered like you are holding them in the back of your throat or something. Maybe it's tongue tension. So my suggestion would be to energize your breath even more. Just as what Cindy worked with you on, relax those upper shoulders and back to allow for a better breath.

I just want you all to know I was really scared to sing in masterclass but it was a really good experience and all of your feedback really helps! Thanks!
