Tanner Pruett - VHR - 10/19

 Tim S.

-bring the lower notes "up and out" (they are currently sinking)

-great diction and overall good vowels

-this song seems too low for Tim (needs some help on lower resonance)

-would love more brilliance on the higher notes

-beautiful voice and tone

Taylor W.

-breathy lower notes

-I think there is a lot of excess air through most of her range (it is less noticeable in the high range; the amount of breath should stay the same throughout the range) 

-great mix voice (breath could be more efficient, but it sounds good)

-I think she got a little stuck in her dynamic level; would love to see some more musical levels and phrases

Faith B.

-breathy, straight tone, swallowed, relatively dark

-there would be way more sound if she used her breath more efficiently

-I would also love to hear more brightness in the tone

Logan K.

-vibrato seems forced/unnatural to me (vocal damage?)

-would love to find a more brilliant resonating space

-tone seems to be stuck/swallowed

-love that he doesn't stay stuck while he's singing

Gideon B.

-would find a more specific focal point (or a few; at the moment it seems random)

-I want his voice to go "up" and "forward," and I think it is only going up at the moment

-very beautiful and floaty tone

Collin C.

-he seems nervous; this might be preventing him from taking a full breath

-clean and relatively resonant sound (it goes in and out of the resonance)

-great legato and lullaby vibes

Julia C.

-lots of extra breath, especially on lower notes (could be a stylistic choice, but I also think softer dynamics should just as supported as louder dynamics)

-very stylistically compelling

-would love more intense 

Mary B.

-avoid closing your eyes when singing (you shut out the audience from connecting with your character)

-would love to find more breath support for the lower notes 

-avoid excess and unintentional hand movements

-performance would be more compelling with some more intense musical levels

Courtney Fairbourn- Voice Lesson- April 20th

Overall this lesson was incredibly exciting. A lot of things I've been struggling with the last couple weeks clicked into place for me. ...
