Breathing wasn't visually incorrect, just audibly gaspy. A little under pitch in spots. The legato longer line sunk in pitch by the end of them. Shoulders were hunched forward a bit and neck was forward also. That shuts down your body and doesn't allow you to breath properly. Words were crisp, but my french sucks so i can't really critique it. Need much more expression! Be Happy! Eyes were zoned out. Cindy mention a lack of intention. We need to know what and why we are singing. I don't think that girl took criticism very well, because her body language said "shut down" when Cindy was speaking to her. Overall she needs to trust her practice and conditioning, then go out there and play the game.

Breathing was great except for two breaths after those big huge phrases. They were gaspy and loud. it was definitely in tune. The jaw wasn't tense, but it did move in interesting ways. I'm not sure about that one. Beautiful tone! Well done! Don't give up or break down. Especially when you are giving us a gorgeous sound, it makes a huge difference when your confidence drops because we just heard you do better. Don't be a Chicken! You had it, then pooped out on us. We believe in you, you should too. Don't give mistakes away. Cindy mentioned high notes are like repelling. let it happen. It's scary. She also mentioned not to use her shoulders. Overall so good when you felt confident about it.

First thing i noticed was his posture. it wasn't terrible, just exaggerated. Hips were really far forward and shoulders were really far back. Most of the breathing was quick and gaspy. Warm low register. let it resonate! just need pure vowels and taller ones. Mouth was closed really small most of the time. Jaw? the lower the notes the more closed his mouth was. Clear diction! "me" was clear and open. Sweet expression. Body was stiff, but face was engaged. Cindy tried transposing it up a few times and it sounded great! There's a lot of potential in there. Keep good feeling when singing and transplant it to the places we don't like as much. Overall really nice, calm presence. There's a great voice in there. Let it go!

Breath wasn't bad, but where she chose to breath was weird. it was in tune. Vowels just need to be pure and correct. I thought the phrasing was a little choppy and disconnected in a few places. nice dark sound. rich tone. Great expression, more character though! She's a dramatic little girl, who is going to throw herself off a bridge if she doesn't get what she wants essentially. Cindy mentioned the Primal "uh" think slightly constipated. She needs good fold adduction but not stiff! Overall beautiful sound, just needs connection and smoother clearer vowels
