Tanner Pruett - Masterclass - 10/12

 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
