Maribelle Taylor

  • wonderful consistent tone
  • so much improvement from your first semester

Emma Dunster

  • lacking in resonance
  • good consistency throughout
Millie Hein
  • Style changes a bit throughout
  • Good overall- great resonance

Brynlee Downs

  • open mouth more
  • Good overall

Maggie Gadd

  • piano tone is breathy
  • Great character
  • spreads vowels
  • don't lose support on dynamic differences
  • the higher part (question and not doubt) needs more lift inside- focus on bringing head voice down, not chest voice up
Abby Edwards
  • Man. Beautiful job.
  • Very forward placement
  • Don't widen vowels too much
  • I want to see you as Millie in Seven Brides
  • Deeper breaths will help
Jessie Kiester
  • Be engaging right from the beginning
  • Have vibrato on every note
  • BREATH- you don't need to push. Breath when you need to, even if the phrasing ends up weird
Kinley Hess
  • Sing into your soft pallet, there is a lot of weight on your tongue and jaw
  • Don't be sacred of higher keys- you pop into the soft pallet more when you're singing those higher notes, try the song in a higher key to keep that placement more consistent
  • Sing on the vowels, don't sneak in the consonants
  • Great job overall
Emily Hill
  • Relax into your body- we want you to be successful
  • Your sound has a nasal quality- make sure your soft pallet is lifted and not air is escaping through the nasal canal
  • The more comfortable you got the better support you had
  • Intonation is iffy on higher interval leaps and sustained notes
  • There is added consonants and vowels that are hindering your sound- [mwa:i]
Addy Hutchings
  • OPEN YOUR MOUTH
  • Don't widen on [i] vowel, you lose movement and space, especially moving from [a] to [i] back to [a]
  • Relax your hands
  • High not on vaughn was very nice- open space, open mouth
  • Don't sacrifice support for dynamics
Allison Orton
  • the dramatics you are putting in is slightly collapsing your chest
  • There is a raspiness on your lower notes
  • Don't sacrifice support for dynamics
  • You have the beginning of good support when you sing forte- keep that throughout
Archer Dame
  • Put your arms down
  • open your mouth
  • there is a chewiness to your consonants that seems limiting
  • Bring the sound forward
  • Great consistency
  • I could honestly listen to you any time
Annica Bella Kropf
  • Acting choices are affecting your intonation and vowel shapes
  • I'm always so impressed with your resonance
Tanner Doyle
  • Relax your hands
  • open your mouth
  • sing on the vowel, not the consonants
  • Nice oh! Bring that support throughout!
  • Open your chest
