What an improvement in projection since I last heard you!  But it would be even more beautiful if you just unlocked your jaw.  I noticed that you jaw tensed up especially on [g] consonants and the German schwa.  I think you could benefit from dancing our your songs, because your body looks so restricted.  I also sense tension in your neck.  I'm so excited for your voice, it has so much potential, and is so beautiful already.

I loved the space you created in the back, that is something new I've never heard from you before!  The space, however, goes away with the [e] vowel.  It also disappeared slowly over the course of the piece, which means you need to keep reiterating it in your head.  And allow even greater space for high notes.  I just want you to have more confidence in yourself, because you have great potential.  And with more confidence will come greater posture.

Work on reducing upwards inflection in your introduction.  I loved your ascending intervals, they were so well balanced, and your larynx stayed down.  I saw nothing in your eyes though.  I want more honest expression from you!

It seemed like you were really telling a story, that was great!  I could tell that that freed up your voice significantly.  I noticed constriction on longer notes, which led me to believe that there was constriction on the shorter notes, I just couldn't hear it haha.  I sense a closing down of the jaw, face, space, etc... I believe that is directly related to being nervous.  Don't swing your hips forward.

I like the fact that you are relaxed when you sing, but I think you body needs more readiness and athleticism.  Your hips are a bit swung forward.  You have a bad habit of rubbing your thighs while singing.  I just don't see any energy or expression in your eyes!
