Yeah I agree with Laura – I read the packet of ingredients on an e-cig once and it’s amazing how dangerous some of the parts are! Also, how’s your hydration?

Yeah, defo get someone to go have a look at your voice. Do you belt a lot in lessons?

I may have to get back to you in October-time as I don’t know what assignments I’ll have around that time, but well up for this 🙂

It’s all to do with creating vowels which have harsh clusters of harmonics that come together to create a second note on top of the normal note. So the unusual vowel that she’s making there (high, tense tongue and closed lips) create this strange, piercing sound, which she then fluctuates and controls with her lips. It’s really frigging tough to control – but if you imitate her you might be able to hear a slight ring of harmonics on there? I’ve been trying it all morning and only managed to get a tiny, tiny bit – this gal got game.

Tough one – but he needs to practice that ‘being judged’ moment. Maybe at the end of each session you can make a video of him, so that he can practice singing in front of a camera? The feelings you get in front of a camera are a sort of diminished version of on-stage fear – so it would be a kind of stage fright vaccine. Worked well with a couple of my goons.
