Tanner Pruett - VRH - 9/30

 Tina A.

Cockeyed Optimist - South Pacific\

-stayed in her head voice for the entirety of the song (would love to hear some more depth in the sound)

-more contrasting musical levels would help bring the piece alive 

Brynlee D. 

With You - Ghost the Musical

-some small intonation issues when in head voice (maybe it isn't supported enough)

-would love more bite and "speaky" singing in the verses of the song

-what an incredible belt; I think some more focus in the breath would help support the sound

-need more rhythmic clarity in the singing (don't take too long on every phrase)

Tanner D.

Out There - Hunchback of Notre Dame

-very young sound (I think the lower, more speak-y sections could be more supported and deep)

-such a floaty voice; great and supported sound

-avoid singing from the jaw and making jagged movements with the body

Lily G.

What I Did for Love - A Chorus Line

-lots of extra air in the sound (how do we get young singers to utilize their air for efficiently?)

-there is way more sound in her voice (feels like she singing from the nose-up only)

-think some help with mixing the voice would really help this student

Hannah H.

The Cloak, the Boat, and The Shoes - Lawrence Brownlee

-kind of air-y tone; there is WAY more sound in this singer

-would love to see a story being told through the music (more emphasis on certain syllables, dynamic levels, etc)

Kinley H.

Little Girls - Annie

-love the commitment to the character

-love how the sound changes based on what the character is feeling

-I think the higher belt can be less "loud" and more efficient 

-would love to find more of a "mixed" tone on some of the higher parts

Emily H.

On My Own - Les Mis

-keep arms at side when possible (let your voice and body language do the story telling)

-would love a strong mixed-belt on the second "chorus"

-overall more confidence and specific character choices would help support the performance and the sound

Cassie I.

Stupid with Love - Mean Girls

-need more expression in the eyes and face

-make specific character choices to help ground yourself during the performance

-would some stronger dynamic contrasts

-there is way more sound in this singer (probably a combination of breath support and focus would help)

Annica K.

Somebody Somewhere - The Most Happy Fella

-very full and mature sound

-avoid squeezing the fists when going to the higher sections (trust me, I understand this)

-more character choices! The sound is great, but it needs the character to accompany it
