Patrice-Recital Hour-09/30

 Madison Black

The Color of Your Eyes- Daddy Long Legs

• The color you have on the higher parts is beautiful- bring that tone to the lower parts
• Is this song a belt song or mixed? Both would be fine, but pick one for consistency
• Focus on breath support more than dynamics, dynamic can come later

Olivia Call

Happy to Keep this Dinner Warm- How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying

• Quality of tone stays relatively the same
• Tone loses support when you sing higher
• Breathier tone
• Not very full, imagine sound like a laser coming out and pinpointed to a specific class

Sadie Carlson

Somewhere of the Rainbow Wizard of Oz

• Nasal tone
• Diction is good, but sometimes too much like choir diction
• You have a full sound
• Birds isn't as nasal
• Sound gets swallowed when you sing higher, bring the vowel forward, not as far back and up

Lauren Clark

God Help the Outcast- Hunchback of Notre Dame

• More breathy tone on higher notes
• Sound loses focus
• Sustained notes are more focused and full
• Key change your tone changed and is much more poignant 
• Last note was lovely!

Archer Dame

Behind- Spring Awakening

• Man. I was not expecting that type of tone from you!
• You have a similar tone to Jeramy Jordan
• Bring the sound more forward on the parts in the falsetto, it gets swallowed
• Don't sacrifice support for dynamics
• Slow down your riffs to make sure you hit each note with accuracy
• Relax your hands

Tina Avery

Cockeyed Optimist- South Pacific

• Every time you say cockeyed the focus is great
• Relax your hands
• Be a unicorn!

Brynlee Downes

With You- Ghost the Musical

• Don't sacrifice dynamics for support
• Engaged for the entirety of your sustained notes
•  Relax your hands
• When you don't think about singing soft the fullness increases tenfold.
• Your tone is consistent throughout
• Beautifully done

Tanner Doyle

Out There- Hunchback of Notre Dame

• I am craving a fuller sound from you with song, maybe less bright
• Relax your hands
• "One" of the first one day was a glimpse of what can be!
• The bridge is what I want for the whole song!
• Have that intensity throughout

Lily G

What I Did for Love- A Chorus Line

• You have a great quality to your voice, but it's shadowed by the breathy sound sneaking through
• When you sing higher, there is less breathiness, but the sound gets swallowed
• Right at the key change had great support, less breathiness, and less swallowed. What are you doing differently?

Hannah H

The Cloak the Boat and the Shoes- Lawrence Brownlee

• Wonderful job!
• This song sounds great, but also has a TON of potential!
• Open your mouth more
• Lengthen the vowel, have a taller sound

Kinley Hess

Little Girls- Annie

• Sometimes your vowels get swallowed
• I feel like your vowels and tone was sacrificed for character choices, find the balance between the two
• Honestly thought, fantastic performance
• Love your belts

Emily Hill

On My Own- Les Miserables

• Nasal tone
• Hold out the vowel, not the consonant
• Relax your hands
• Sit in your heels
• Each breath is very loud
• Almost every attack sounds aspirated
• Let's get you to belt those notes!

Cassie Ingles

Stupid with Love- Mean Girls

• Your lower register is very full
• Bring the sound forward when you get to that higher register
• When you riffed on that last note the sound moved more forward in your mouth and was much more focused

Annica Kroff

Somebody Somewhere- The Most Happy Fellow

• "Aglow" felt tight until you added vibrato, how can you bring that freeness to the beginning of the note?
• Very full sound
• Beautiful job!
