Following through words/ making pop box more conversational
Today we worked on our pop box (condensing our words to make sure we stay in the pocket) and moving the placement to a slightly more conversational/comfortable place to make them easier to sing, make them sound even better, and to get her voice a place where we can add style.
Our transition today was moving from a staccato pop box, to one that flowed through the words a little bit more. We did this by making sure the end of each word was more forward than when it started, so that each word felt like a little water fall, making the beginning of the next word even easier to get to. This allowed Abbie to stay in the pocket, maintain the placement, and at the same time - soften the harshness of the sound.
Freeing up high notes/ high fast belt
We also worked on relaxing into our high notes so that they're easier to sing, and they sound freer on top. We did this by singing less; moving Abbie's brain to a more talked and forward place so that she wouldn't think of hitting the high notes as singing, but simply talking high. This helped her get into the correct placement and helped her relax.
Once she relaxed into our talking placement, we were able to work on making the words a little bit smaller, and approaching them from a more forward place to help control them even further, and to make them sound more commercial.
