Amber Farrow: I saw a lot of biting down, and jaw tension. When she found the release on a certain word, the sound and air were able to move freely. I think there was a lack of confidence in the pitch. I think something that might help her would be to act/present herself with confidence, even if she doesn't feel that way. I think that would help her maintain the pulse in her body, and give her a better sense of where the notes fall inside that pulse.
Kara Wight: Her shoulders seemed to be curling in, and in result, her sternum was falling and collapsing her ribcage. Timbre seemed to be breathy and fluttery. Her posture inhibited her ability to gain free-flowing air, and because of that intonation problems followed suit. I think hanging upside down would help her to feel a release in the breath, and get her shoulders out of the way of the air intake.
Kaylee Simmons: I saw some jaw tension and chewing down on her consonants and vowels (I do this too!). I could see that she was telling a story, but her rocking forward and back on her feet were a real distraction. I think there was sufficient expression in her face to tell the story. I think Kaylee would benefit from letting or directing the release of the tension in her upper body, rather than making the release happen. There was a sense of holding her ribcage, and that inhibited both breath and sound.
