Tanner Pruett - Voice Recital Hour - 9/23

Kat Hirschi 

Widmung - Shumann

-very nervous and timid sound 

-very beautiful high range, but it still sounds pinched

-open them mechanism to allow more sound and a fuller sound

Amelia Kearl

Nel cor piu non mi sento - Paisiello

-great sound; I know there's more in there

-more support from breath and more grounded (probably just nervous)

Alyssa Burton 

I Got Rhythm - Gerswin

-love the attitude!

-find a more "in the nose, but not of the nose" sound to help project sound

-would love some more musical levels throughout the song

Sierra Wamsley

(I did not get the song title)

-avoid swaying back and forth (I know it's hard)

-she has WAY more sound in her (I think it's a combination of breath support, placement, etc)

-would love to hear more resonance on the lower notes

Ethan Willmore

Heavenly Grasp - (didn't get the composer)

-I think I hear some extra air in his tone (needs to make more efficient use of the breath that is escaping)

-good diction overall

-some small intonation issues (I think from nervousness; pitch didn't settle on a few notes)

-very beautiful floaty tone on higher notes

Braeden Winford

Words Fail - Dear Evan Hansen

-love the commitment to the character; would love to see that more in the facial expression

-he's flipping into falsetto a lot, which is cool if it's a choice, but I have suspicion that he could take a more full head voice into that higher range

-I hear a lot of extra air in his tone (how do you fix that?)

-would work on being more grounded overall

-this song is a beast, but I really like what he did with it

Kylee Bailey

She Used to be Mine - Waitress

-I would make less "planned" hand movements for this song (the music really tells the story in this piece)

-really beautiful belt in the medium range

-need more resonance on lower notes (how do you teach in younger female singers?)

-I have some vowel recommendations to help make higher notes for successful (like on "reckless") 

-I think more "twang" in the sound would help make it more efficient 

-love the riffs!
