Logan Kelley- Masterclass

 Jessie-

-We breathe into the lungs, not the belly. The belly will respond to the lungs. Trust that.

-Find rib expansion higher than you think you need to.

-Slow down your inward breathing so that the diaphragm can work naturally.

-Relax the stomach area.

-Be taller through the torso

-Have the feeling of the head being lifted off of the head. Put the pinky in to create mouth space. Lift and pull backward the cheekbones

-Give yourself permission to be okay. Let go of all of the stress that you hold.


Chris Machado-

-Call your voice an instrument to set aside yourself from it emotionally.

-Find a part of your voice that works well and use that sound as a model for elsewhere.

-Lift up with the thumb underneath the armpits

-If you push the belly out then your tongue will retract

-”g” can pull the sound back

-Find a vowel that is healthy and comfortable, then relay that to the actual vowel.

-Learn how to vibrate your consonants so that the breath doesn’t stop.


AnnikaBella Thorup- Somebody, Somewhere (The Most Happy Fella)

-Have pride in your instrument. This is always okay unless you are showing that you are better than somebody.

-There is a slight loss of connection moving up to the highest parts of the song at the end.

-Identify where you feel and hold tension

-What is the purpose of the jaw? We don’t shape the jaw, we position the jaw. Think of the backward hinge

-If you use the “baseball glove” to move the jaw backward, you won’t feel the jaw click.

-Aim the sound through the center of the hard palate and up through the skull
