We introduced "singing monsters" - or the sound our brains tell us is singing - and learned how to get around them.
Even in warm up - we made sure that the low notes stayed in a mix place rather than a chest/belt place to make our placement a little softer and the song a little bit more classical musical theater as opposed to character musical theater.
We worked a lot in our forward POP placement of mix -- and learned how to use this familiar placement even in classical songs! We moved everything forward - ditched the vibrato for the whole beginning - and made sure that as we climbed into our higher notes that regardless of the volume , that we stayed forward in our mouth and vocal chords!
She did so great!
