This week we worked on moving Abby's voice into a more comfortable place! Making sure that when she smiles and sings, she still moves her mouth as though she was talking. That she sings it in a "happy" way - to brighten up her sound.
In her vocal warm-up exercises we've started her on some seriously advanced stuff! I've added some quick vocalizing tracks to get her started on scatting and some style things that we will get to in no time! We've started working a lot on her range as well! She's got such a great ear and she catches on so quickly - we make a game out of the hard ones and she's loving it.
This week:
We vocalized on: hooty, humming, lip buzz, me-eee, me-me, yah-yah, yah-ahh, oh-ah, adding "everybody's favorite" and "double time double scale".
We worked on:
- Smiling like we're HAPPY! Instead of just showing our teeth and not moving our mouth naturally.
- learning the difference between "forward" and "loud"
- performance techniques - having energy on stage and staying in character!

Awesome job Abby!! Keep up the great work! See you next week!
