On i vowels your teeth are closer together, that creates a brighter, less deep vowel sound. I notice this especially on the word lungi. This goes along with what Thomas Glenn said about deepening your vowels! you can do more with it but you already sounded so much better by the end. you really do have a nice voice and when you did the crescendo exercise it was amazing the difference that it made. It gave me chills it was so beautiful and focused but still free and open! I could see how hard you were working to do that but it sounded free. It was the most powerful I have heard you sing! Sing as you speak that is an interesting concept that I had never really thought about before. I love how Glenn took what you loved and connected it to this beautiful piece that you sang today. Great job today.
Liz Tait:
You are such a dependable performer! Every time you get up
to sing I know that I will enjoy it. Your airflow could be more consistent.
With certain consonants you push air out in order for it to be heard but you
are also losing the air that you need for the phrase. Some consonants need air
to be clearly heard but don’t force too much air out with them. The incremental
breath exercise that Cindy had Laekin do a few weeks ago would probably help
you see how much breath should leave each second through out the phrase as well
as how consistent it is. Glenn made the point that we, as singers, try too much
to control the voice and make so many modifications to it in order to get what
we think we want out of it. We get in its way a lot of the time and all we need
to do is give it what it needs which is air and the right shape for the vowel. YOu did so much better when you got out of the way of your voice and just let go. It was amazing the difference that made. It sounded so free and easy. You did a beautiful job today.
