Coaching- 14th Okt.
Look! Through the Port
- send consonants up and out
- be more generous with breath allocation
- it's ok if there's sometimes a break between vowel and consonant
- sing through bars, etc.
- hold "astray" its full value
- "up" needs to be more consonanty
- consonants at beginnings and middles need more attention
- "shammmm"
- a = [a]
- the = [ða]
- second "fathoms"- [z] on downbeat of next bar
- make sure all words are American English. You've made this choice.
- go over every diphthong
- "twist"- go ahead and hang onto the [s] for a while
Focus: phrasing (sing across the barline), consonants up and out, middle consonants
