Anyone used Erol Singers Studio yet? Sadly only for Apple users. But brilliant for tuning: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/erol-singers-studio-voice/id502780186?mt=8

Ah yes I get it! And your clip really helps. So a deep sounding “ahhh” with dropped jaw versus a more open (what I call dentist chair) “aaaah” sound where is appears to sound higher/brighter?

Things keep hitting you, Matt, are you okay?
Good stuff Matt, as always! Thought you would be the one to master this. So could you explain the vocal fry sound as I only understand it to be a low croak? So this student can make the note due to changing his lips and tongue? Sorry if I have misunderstood!

You know this very thing helped me only today. That along with more gentle warm ups, working on a more gentle crossover from chest to head voice. She is too loud and almost stops hearing the track or something. She really tuned in more when she was quieter, and as a result was more in tune! And with a bit of piano notes played in her headphones (she was recording today) and repeating back while looking at the notes – she nailed it!

Yes – I agree with everything you said and do this myself. It’s very difficult, and the truth is, both student and teacher have to work on this for months, sometimes years (if practice doesn’t happen daily!) with both parties remaining as patient as possible. I have also switched out-of-tune singers to piano so that they can connect to some basic interval theory and also it provides a visual guide for the movement of their voice. I hope that helps!
