Logan Kelley- Recital Hour- Oct 26

 Recital Hour Oct 26

Olivia C- She has a really nice sound, she just seems really in her head. The sound becomes more breathy in these moments.

Madison W- It sounds like more movement in the breath could help her sound. At times because of this it leans on the breathy side, especially in the middle range. The sound could be more effective with a little more space as well.

Sierra W- The sound is a little shallow. It sounds like it is not connected to the breath, which is leading to a lack of lift in the mouth. More focus on this and vowels could get a more classical sound which I would prefer on a song like this.

Ethan W- The character is very engaging. The sound leans toward being in the back and loses vibrancy. If it could land in a resonant place with more ping, the sound would be cleaner and carry more.

Braedon W- He has great expression and contrast across phrases. There was a light breathiness, but it seemed to match the soulful nature of this song. He gets a really nice sound in his upper range when he leans into a note, but he quickly backs off so that this sound doesn’t stay.

Christina A- The sound seems a little stuck inside of her. Landing in a stronger resonating spot in the face might help carry the sound to us. This was especially evident on the highest notes which felt slightly pinched. Her posture doesn’t seem to foster an open space for singing. The head is coming forward and down. 

Madison B- She has a great open sound. It carries especially well once she moves a little higher in her voice. On quicker passages especially, I think there could be a deeper sense of connection so that they seem like part of a line instead of individual notes.

Alyssa B- She has a really nice open voice. There were some really rich colors on the lower end that I wish were carried into the higher sound as well, but it still seemed free and healthy

Kat Hirschi- The sound seems a little stuck a lot of the time. There were times where it would land in a more vibrant spot, but occasionally I would feel like there wasn’t enough motion in the breath to get the sound there. An openness in the body seems like it would help this.
