Pop Style! Today we continued to work on our pop style! We worked on taking our wide style that we worked on last week- and stretching it, customizing it, and giving Ella even more control over how it sounds and how it shapes the song. We did this by first widening our vowels. By taking the concentration of tone and spreading it differently (taking a round tone that can be piercing, hard to control, and dark sounding - or a little bit guttural or back in our throat) and widening it, we are able to add an ease to the sound - or make the words sound brighter, happier, a little bit more effortless, and, at times - even a little bit lazy. Then, we add breath to each word - giving it more texture, emotion, and a cool stylistic option to spice up the song even further.
The different levels of tone concentration and breath help give the song a more produced feeling. We worked on pushing the tone at different levels through our teeth - giving our style more variety.
