Olivia is doing amazing things in our lessons - we are in the process of building so many different parts of her voice!
Her range is slowly extending (to higher and lower notes) and strengthening (adding power to higher and higher notes) in our vocalizations so that she can hit higher notes in our songs. Because we are on a mission to build a big, powerful voice - we have started doing more concentrated warm ups where we will do one section of her range - then go back and repeat it before moving on to the next. The repetition of our exercises this way will help her build even more as she develops more vocal strength and stamina in each little section the more we do them.
Her style and ability to manipulate her voice is getting better every single lesson! With our "pop box" placement, Olivia gets quicker, less muffled, more forward, more commercial sounding, and honestly is having more and more fun every single lesson because she can feel and hear herself getting through her songs easier, and sounding so much better!
You are seeing her improve in her videos - but her improvement in her exercises is even more!! She's working hard. and really - she is doing SO well!!! It's very fun to see her succeed!
Performance technique:
On the weeks we focus solely on her voice - We still work a little bit on pulling Olivia out of her shell and getting her performance ready. Today she had to be sassy Taylor Swift with her song, projecting her voice out so that even though it was quick - it was still louder, and adding punchiness to her verses by emphasizing the consonants a little bit more.
