Saige Barlow-Voice Recital Hour-Nov 18

 Patrice Densley - Something in Italian

  • E major, begins with Il mio ben…

  • Very smooth and beautiful!

  • The emotional expression is very simple yet powerful! What an idol!

  • I would love to automatically hit an F#5 as well as you did! Holy cow!

  • I think you should sing soprano more often, or at least mezzo soprano.


Maribelle Taylor - Screw Loose - Cry-Baby

  • You don’t know how to sing musical theatre?? LIES!!!!!

  • I do notice a difference from when you would sing in the musicals we did together. It’s placed differently, for instance.

  • The theatrical abilities haven’t changed much, but they’re always better!

  • This sounds like a great song for a Provo girl going to BYU. 😂


Kaylyn Baldwin - Fire Aria

  • She changes pitches so easily!

  • Her jaw is very released!

  • She makes singing look so easy! 😩

    • Nevertheless, I always look forward to hearing her sing!

  • Her high notes are on fire!


Megan Richards - Sorry, I missed it. I was busy passing the role…

  • The pitches shift, but I am noticing full closure of the folds.

  • Very soft, but it’s absolutely gorgeous!


Courtney Fairbourn - The Light in the Piazza - The Light in the Piazza

  • She has a gorgeous musical theatre voice!

  • She said something about swelling or something in her vocal folds, but I cannot sense a single problem that interferes with her having a good performance!

  • She has a very forward sound, and I love hearing it!


Misteen English - Safer

  • I am always noticing improvement with Misteen’s voice!

  • The diction is better, and the air is a lot more steady!

  • The projection is a lot better!


Kennan Thompson - Le Rose Despin (That’s what it sounds like anyway)

  • The diction is fantastic! I can tell that you might’ve worked on this with Dallas. Either way, you’re pretty good at diction.

  • Very smooth and light!

  • Your singing always gets better and better!


Hayden Höglund - Le Nozze de Figaro

  • I remember the first time I have heard you sing this song, and I think your diction is so much better!

  • Your singing has also improved!

  • I like your story that you’re conveying through your face! I’m hooked!


Layton L. - Chanson Romanesque (I know it’s from a song cycle)

  • I think your vibrato has improved! There’s less shaking throughout the rest of the body, so that shows that you’re better at controlling the vibrato.

  • Overall, great job!

  • Pitches are very accurate!

  • The story was great, too!


Nalani Mathias - All That Matters - Finding Neverland

  • I’m so enthralled by the way you sing musical theatre!

  • The diction is very clear, and you’re enunciating extremely well!

  • Obviously, you probably have years of musical experience, but holy cow I love the way you act!


Autumn Nelson - Nel cor più non mi sento

  • I love this song!!!

  • In the Eb major, which is a whole step lower than I usually hear or sing it.

    • My sister sings it in F major.

  • A little airy at times.

  • I think you might be more comfortable with musical theatre based on how you sing the middle range.


Millie Hein - I Hate Men

  • Very rich sounding voice, kind of like Alyssa’s voice!

  • I think you should try singing some jazz. I think that suits your voice really well.

  • Short and simple


Taylor Woolf - Dying Ain’t So Bad

  • You have a very naturally beautiful voice!

  • The dynamic contrast is excellent and seemingly effortless!

  • I think the pitches tend to shift a little.


Tanner Pruett - “In Short” - Edges

  • Trigger warning - Explicit words

  • I think your story is a lot better, and your diction in turn is a lot better!

  • I love the little dances you included!

  • The transitions are fantastic!
