This week we continued work on: building up Olivia's voice, adding energy/character into her song, introductions, choreography, relaxing her high notes.
Building up Olivia's voice: Today we made a break through in our warm up!!! Olivia's voice is building fast! her high notes are more relaxed, her forward placement is less forced, and her voice stamina is so much better!! We'll continue to work on this throughout all of our lessons - but it's coming along GREAT!!
Adding energy/character into her song: We worked on dynamics today. Adding energy into the chorus, maintaining energy through transitions. It gets better every week!
Introductions: We're BEATING the nerves out of her!! She'll be so comfortable come performance time that she wont even think twice about being timid and nervous. She's doing awesome!
Relaxing her high notes: As we continue to build her voice - we're taking zero short cuts to prevent her from hurting her voice. With each notch we go up in power we go up a notch in safety as well - making sure that she is building safely!1
Choreography: Today we worked on raising her hands so that her elbows get away from her body. This will make her seem more open and engaged with her audience.
