Jake Spjute Listening assignment 2


1.  What is wrong with the sound I am hearing (and what I am seeing)? it sounds like a lot of the air is escaping, like the vocal folds aren't touching. She also needs to work on her posture, she wiggles around too much and that is effecting it too.
2.  What is causing this problem? the vocal folds aren't touching
3.  What would I do about it if I were the teacher? experiment with different vowels and try to get the line flowing out smoothly.
4.  How well prepared was the performance prepared (musicianship, diction, style, etc.)?  Give specifics that support your answer. I felt that in general she has a very pleasant voice, it appeared like she knew the translation of the text. However the Italian sounded very immature, she needs to correct those vowels and r's.


1.  What is wrong with the sound I am hearing (and what I am seeing)? he's not making enough space with his tongue and mouth. Its very honkey. He's also breathing with his chest and shoulders a lot which is constricting everything
2.  What is causing this problem? not having enough space, and improper breath gestures.
3.  What would I do about it if I were the teacher? help him maintain vowel unification, and work on a downward breath gesture.
4.  How well prepared was the performance prepared (musicianship, diction, style, etc.)?  Give specifics that support your answer. I thought it was ok.. he had some mistakes on some notes, I could't understand what he was saying, and in general he was honkey. So I guess I didn't really like him at all.. haha
