Les berceaux- The singer wasn't very balanced at the A-O joint, which led to a lot of problems in other key areas. Since her head was bowed too far forward, she had to compensate for the extra weight with her shoulders, which also led to imbalance at the hip joint. All of these things combined made it impossible for her to find balance at the knee and ankle joints, which were moving rather uncomfortably throughout the piece. Because of her slightly-bent-over posture, there was a lot of tension in her back and abdomen, which caused a lot of the expansion in her breath to be present in her shoulders. The tight posture also contributed to the timbre, which was very flat and lifeless much of the time. There was some vibrato at times, but it always felt like a shaky, forced vibrato.
Sebben Crudele- This singer's hip joint was struggling to find balance throughout the whole song. He also kept his shoulders very engaged the whole time, which probably made him very tired by the end of the song. I think the main effect of this posture on the breathing is that he wasn't able to get a very low, full, breath. Since his hips were jostling around so much he probably had some tension in his back/abdomen, which would have worked in opposition to the contraction of the diaphragm. Since he couldn't achieve a full contraction a lot of his breaths were gaspy and desperate. His timbre wasn't very vibrant as a result.
Roadside Fire- This singer had problems in a lot of places. First of all, his knee and ankle joints were locked the whole time. He compensated for that by bringing his hips forward. His thorax ended up being held very far back as a result. Then there's his arms. I'm not exactly sure what to say about them, but whatever he's doing to put them in that position he needs to just relax them. The timbre was really forced and pushed throughout the song. This is no doubt a result of improper body alignment and a weak breathing mechanism.
