Gideon Benge - Voice Recital Hour V: The Vibrato Strikes Back

Here are a few notes on a some of the fantastic performers witnessed today.

Sierra W: Nice vibrato. Some of the higher notes are pinched, it could be opened up a tad more and focused in a better spot. When the focus is right, it sounds phenomenal. 

Ethan W: "Tonight at 8" Great character acting. Sometimes the breathing can interrupt the phrase, and sometimes the notes are a little lost on some of the trickier parts. That being said, this song is quite difficult he performed marvelously and was very humorous. Great recovery from the mistake at the start.

Braden W - "Beautiful City" Tone is a bit airy without the support it needs, which makes it a bit difficult to hear over the piano. Voice is perfect for this song. Quiet parts still need more energy.  Really opens up and sounds fantastic on the higher parts.

Christina A -"Some Sort of Song Ye Sang" Beautiful voice with pretty good diction. Some of the lower parts of the song were a bit swallowed. I don't normally worry about this, but I would definitely fix posture. It will help confidence levels and give more consistent breath support.
