Les berceaux:
I noticed that she tried to hold all of her weight on one leg. She never centered her body so she had to have been tensing one side to keep balanced and up-right. As she stood on one leg at a time, she would lock the knee of the leg in use, thus forcing her hip joint to lock as well. Her back looked rounded as well, which meant her chest was a little sunken.
I think her timbre would improve greatly if she could get her hips to release. By the lower half of her body being so locked up, she couldn't have been able to release her abs to allow a deep, low breath in the body. I heard an absence of the sound being grounded, and getting that lower body "tug".
Sebben Crudele:
The fact that this video was shot from the side made his in-alignment (is that the right word) SO obvious. His hips were very forward, and his neck was jutting out in a turtle neck.
I think the tension in his neck from sticking out so much, would have to effect his timbre. I think it would have a much more mature and easiness sense if his neck muscles weren't being over worked.
Roadside Fire:
He's really pinching that quarter that's for sure. I think he's squeezing so much that he's forcing his hips a little too forward, but mostly making them lock up--as well as his knees. After looking again, I realized that it's not the clenching that is causing his hips and knees to lock, it's were he's leaning. He's leaning way forward on his toes, which is forcing him to lock up and tense up so that he can stay erect.
I think his breathing is really being effected. This then inhibits the air to flow freely during phonation. His sound is not riding on the air but rather trying to catch up to it.
