The Rest of My Recital Hour Notes (Hayden Höglund)

 8 April 2022 - Lee Gregory

  • messa di voce

  • Manuel García

  • control over registration, increased flexibility

  • thyroarytenoid is the primary muscle involved in vocalization

  • cricothyroid is primarily involved in head voice

  • we can choose. the future is in our hands.

  • allowing the voice to do what it needs to do

  • García - bel canto era (Bellini, Rossini, etc.)

  • vs Romantic era (Wagner, etc.)


14 April 2022 - Randall Bills

  • diction is really serving the text

  • a bit of tension - shoulders, neck, as well as pushing the head downwards

  • he’s really gone and ran with Lee’s darkness suggestion

    • I mean it’s working I reckon. the G# (no) sounded pretty good

  • ugh Patrice’s voice is SO BEAUTIFUL


18 April 2022

  • marketing is story-telling

  • how you market a product depends on what technique you use to solve that problem

    • if you see an opportunity in your market, you have a problem to solve

  • see what others see

  • build tension (free sample)


4/20 BLAZE IT LMAO

  • desire for gain vs avoidance of loss

    • VisionSpring

  • shopping can be a risk/threat to others

  • shoppers want:

    • autonomy (I found it myself!)

    • status (we want this item to elevate our status)

    • peace of mind

  • ¼ in. hole (people don’t really want a drill bit, they want the hole it will make)

  • Who’s it for?

  • What’s it for?

  • We are not rational.

  • avoid goals that define what you are already doing if you want to improve

  • what is the change you are trying to make?

  • seek to change someone, not everyone

  • sort your targets by psychographics and worldviews

  • your client has a 

    • problem

    • desire

    • narrative

  • minimal viable product (mvp)

    • when is it ready to launch?

  • customer development: find an intersection between what you have and what the customer wants

  • “it’s not for you” and “I made this for you”

    • customization includes exclusivity

    • comedian’s dilemma


  • my product is for people who believe….

  • i will focus on people who want….

  • i promise that engaging with what i made will result in….

  • Ethan Elliott

    • O sole mio

    • nice consistent tone!

    • decent Italian also

    • look up!

    • maybe opening your mouth would help a bit with your comfort on those high notes

  • Maggie Gadd

    • se me v words

    • focus sound forward. focus on resonance. idk

    • higher notes sound very free. good times

    • yeah get a little snarl in that sound!

    • very pretty though

  • Archer Daaaaaame

    • Starchild by Archer Dame himself

    • interesting chord progression. I III VI IV i believe? for part of it

    • beautiful! it suits your voice. 

    • thank you for sharing

    • great control over your falsetto. you could totally weaponize this to get used to your messa di voce

  • Kinley Hess

    • Calm

    • your voice really suits this piece!!!

    • great audience engagement. cool

    • good consistent tone

    • raise that soft palate for the higher parts

    • good speechlike quality

  • Addy Hutchings

    • idk i zoned out

    • sing through phrases

    • good placement! it comes back a little the higher you go. or maybe that’s just a slightly weak spot. passaggio and all that

    • oh yeah. that real high note sounded very pretty. 

    • breath energy

  • Megan Richards

    • melodia or something

    • sOOO PRETTY

    • diction is a little unclear. consonants can help propel breath forward

      • breathflow is a small amount inconsistent - focus on vibrato through every note and indeed, every consonant

    • your high notes are so good! more! MOre!!!

      • make sure to keep air flowing and soft palate raised

    • keep support on lower and also easier notes

  • Jessie Kiester

    • There are worse things I could do

    • you have great breath support. sometimes it gets to be too much and breath overpowers pressure

    • consistent tone though! and great diction/ speechlike quality, perfect for this style

      • sometimes consonants fall a bit by the wayside, however

  • Annica Bella Kropf

    • paper wings

    • FERPA

    • your tongue pulls back something terrible the higher you go. this causes the tone to deaden as your tongue absorbs a lot of the sound that would otherwise be able to resonate elsewhere

    • there is also a conspicuous lack of breath support on high notes. this makes your higher pitches wobble a bit

    • good placement for the most part

  • Miranda Mann

    • nina

    • breath flow is a bit inconsistent. think horizontal instead of vertical (through phrases and not note-by-note)

    • breath is overpowering. focus on resonance maybe? idk it helps me

    • great vocal mobility! it feels like coloratura passages come easily to you which is kinda lit ngl

    • impure vowels rob you of a small amount of clarity

  • Allison Orton

    • a song.

    • a bit of tension in shoulders and neck

    • beautiful modern sound! so cool!!1!

      • dang i’m floored and in awe. i want to hear more

    • belt was great!!! sounded so healthy!!!!!

    • focus could be a bit more forward on higher mix notes

  • Camryn Rassmussen

    • widmung! a truly great piece

    • clear high notes. with a little more breath support i think they’d be stunning. they were already really pretty though tbh. i could listen to you sing the phone book.

    • open your mouth a bit more-

    • dang! so this is what i’m missing out on when i constantly skip recital hour. THOMAS: I DO NOT SKIP RECITAL HOUR ALL THE TIME

  • BONUS ROUND!!!!!!

  • Taylor Woolfe and Jessie Kiester

    • Taylor is so much fun to listen to.

    • Hey they sound real good together. good stuff

    • Jessie overpowered Taylor from time to time

    • yeaaahahahhhahaaahhhhh


22 April 2022
