Dr. Chiesa - English Diction
Tori
-stronger "t" and "d" on words like "out"
-great phrasing and clear sentences
-stronger "a" on "thank" (especially verses "think")
-on the "speak-singing," more articulation and emphasis
-Dr. Chiesa - "focus on clarity and specificity of vowels"
Annika
-very fast and fun piece (great job!)
-sing over the bar line and find moments to emphasize
-higher and more resonant placement helps get words across
-phrasing helps for easier comprehension
-expression and more intentional acting helps diction
Kennan
-don't let the letter "L" interrupt vowels (especially on diphthongs)
-make sure each vowel is intentional and specific
-place the voiced consonances on the pitch (helps with legato, phrasing, resonance, etc.)
Anna
-more musical levels and more emphasis on certain words to help phrasing and musicality
-"It's easier to move towards something, then away from something else." - Dr. Chiesa
-"The highest note is not (necessarily) the most important note) - Dr. Chiesa
-think of the voice more laterally, like a piano, so your larynx doesn't unnecessarily go up
