You had good balloon breaths you just need to keep the flow constant. Keep your energy constant. Think in phrases and give more energy through out each of them. Pretend that something is driving you to the very end of the phrase. High notes you come off your voice. Prepare for them space and consistent airflow. Vowels are formed by the entire body not just your mouth. Insist on a constant vowel on leaps and high notes (or both, in your case). Higher notes require more space for vowels but the vowel and the breath must remain the same. You did a great job today and you really improved the phrasing as well as diction. You were able to quickly utilize the information that Thomas was giving you. Good work!
Thomas Glenn quotes you’d want to remember: “Think one more dynamic above the piano.” “Piano is not a dynamic rather a color.” “Piano is the head of a forte body.” “Sing as you speak.”
Sarah Boucher:
Breaths are surprisingly inconsistent and sometimes shallow. Thomas Glenn had you breath in rhythm before you sang. A quarter note breath before that really made a huge difference in your phrasing. You could open your mouth a bit wider and your vowels wouldn’t sound closed off. Keep your energy consistent through each phrase and let your piano be stronger. Great work today! You did very well with taking his advice and applying it quickly.
Sara Lowe:
You did very well today! you have a very free yet present voice. on the i vowel keep your jaw open that will help you have a more consistent vowel and overall sound. When you were more playful with the piece and you were actually having fun I was having fun along side you. you gave each phrase its own shape. I loved that. Keep your momentum going to the end of the phrase. That was very well done.
