Olivia Bagley: No (week 2)

This week:


We vocalized on:
Mah-mah, Be-be, Humming, Nay-yay
We worked on:
1. Performance!!!
2. Keeping it more forward, louder, more punchy, using our pop box more



Performance
Today was all about performance! We started off by watching Olivia's after video from last week to set the bar and talked about ways to make it bigger, sassier, and more energetic.
We then added on to the song, singing a little bit more of it - and made sure we were firm in our placement, and that it didn't go in and out depending on the part of the song.
Then, we went to the microphone. Each time Olivia sang the song we added a few more actions, had her get a little bit louder, punchier, and shorten her words a little bit more. Then we would watch the performance and I would ask her if she could get even bigger - she would answer yes, we would talk about how (with actions, and making parts of the song a little bit stronger) and we would do it again.
We are pushing Olivia past her comfort zone - making sure that she feels comfortable moving - and she is having a blast!!!
We're going to make sure that this level of performance never goes away and that we continue to build on it!! It not only makes her look more confident, it makes her sound incredible!! I'm so proud of her!! I know it's not an easy thing for her - and she is working so hard!!

Here are our videos from today!

Before/End of our lesson:



Great job Olivia!! See you soon!
