Saige Barlow - Voice Recital Hour Evaluation - 10/26

 Amelia Kearl - Wie Melodien

  • I love this song!

  • Good fit for Amelia’s voice!

  • Has a recurring theme

  • AMAZING!!

  • Space in transitioning between registers

 

Olivia Call - something in German

  • Gorgeous vibrato, but very breathy.

  • Diction is very clear!

  • Kept going, even though she forgot some lyrics! Good for you!

 

Madison W -  O Peace, Thou First Child of Heaven

  • Breathy but beautiful voice!

  • I sometimes can’t tell if this is supposed to be in English or in some other language.

  • Definitely a classical or baroque type of piece.

  • Long melisma :)

 

Sierra W - When He is Here

  • Tends to have a turtle head, which might contribute to some tension or disconnection with airflow.

  • Hits the pitches pretty well, but struggles with high “A.”

 

Ethan W - “Tonight at Eight” - She Loves Me

  • I think Tim sang this song once.

  • Conveys the text really well!

  • A little tense and nasal-sounding, but it is very clear and articulate.

  • I love this song so much!!! And I love Zachary Levi!

 

Braden W - “Beautiful City” - Godspell

  • Rather breathy, which might be getting in the way of dynamics.

  • Stronger support in the middle section!

  • I think he could probably try supporting from the ground up, and I think that could also help with the breathiness.

  • It’s also possible he might’ve gotten nervous.

 

Christina Avery - Rose di …

  • Pretty sure this is in French

  • I am hearing improvements in the color of her sound. It’s still a little breathy and tense, but I am hearing improvements.

  • It’s also rather swallowed, and I wonder if that might be the root of the problem.

  • The diction is pretty good. It’s a little swallowed though still.

 

Madison Black - Reap Me, No More

  • Ooo, I love F major!

  • Very forward and vibrant! Holy cow!

    • Slight tension, but her voice is amazing and shows dramatic improvement!

 

Alyssa Burton - “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

  • Once again, I immediately think of Huey Lewis when I see this title

  • I think I’ve heard this song before.

  • Very resonant and vibrant

    • You can tell the higher notes are in a different register, since they’re a little softer most of the time.

    • And you say you’re not a soprano!

 

Kat H - Sure on This Shining Night

  • Same text as the choral piece we know and love :)

    • Must be a poem. Yeah, it’s definitely a poem.

  • Chin sticks out a little, which is causing some tension.
