Patrice- Assignment #1 (Finally...)

  •  Roy Orbison- Crying
    • He doesn't open his mouth at all
    • It seems there there a lot of jaw tension
    • there there is a bite to his sound comes from his lack of opening that holds the sound back
    • His last few "crying"s, he opens more and it sounds more clear and free
  • Judy Collins- Both Sides Now
    • She looks a bit like Drew Berrymore
    • She puts her sound on her tongue/lower mouth when she sings lower
    • She opens more width wise rather than height
    • Near the end of the song she sounds more tired vocally
    • She is resonating just in her mouth, it doesn't really go past her lips because of her lack of opening
  • Ivan Kozlovsky- Evening Bells
    • I'm very confused how he is getting that sound with so little movement in his mouth
    • He is a decent example of resonant space inside the mouth, creating space with the jaw but not technically needing to open the mouth a ton
    • It does seem there something missing, a depth that could be achieved with a wider opening
  • Piotr Beczala- Sänger des Jahres
    • He closes his mouth a lot with consonants that could be done without moving the jaw
    • I love how much he opens his mouth, but it seems like he is working a lot
    • It looks exhausting how his jaw is moving
    • He opens with great height, but at the end of his notes he widens quite a bit too
