Read what a producer wrote to a coach regarding the talents skills.
This DVD covers all this and more

Producers Notes:

To date coaching on a small level has been successful as 'artists name' did not understand timing, harmonizing, layering, matching voice to beats/custom melodies she never heard, nor had any recording experience prior to our collaboration. Since then she’s come quite far! We are now producing great music however I feel we have capped and would love to properly tune 'artists name'’s voice/abilities to their best potential before producing her first album on a broadcast level.

Qualities:
*Great range, great oscillation, sweet melodic phases.

*Great range in styles however also tends to stick to the same 2-3 melodies/notes. Needs help experimenting with octaves/sharps/unwinding to all her reachable note capacity and all notes in between. Especially with her own music. Singing existing radio music is a breeze, singing her own music is somewhat different and the unknown/uncontrolled comes out.

*Good control of high notes.

*Good control of covering existing songs/effects.

*Vast amounts of throat changes/movements causing natural effects however not fully controlled yet.

*Amazing potential with proper practice and a real professional coaches help.

Things to note/work on:
Tends to drop tone and pitch at the end of most bars when singing. Needs work holding notes long and natural, then with some flux/chorus/reverb/warble… Needs improvement increasing low note volume and decreasing high/loud notes to a controlled power to even out her range and start to control where/what is accented with loud/soft effects.

Needs help with timing and understanding 4/4 – 4/16 – 4/32 etc. I always try to get her to tap her foot or bob her head to feel the music/beat/structure and when to come in/fade out etc. it has proven to be difficult, even with numbers and counting in. Please work on half notes/quarter notes, timing when starting the song/chorus/verse. Practice coming in a half/quarter note before the 1-4 (first note/bar in measure 1 of whatever you’re practicing), then half/quarter notes after the bar etc. Basically time play and making sure to hit/understand importance of controlling her timing/adjusting lyrics to bpm/track/melodies well.

Explosives & Siblants: Lacks continuity with style to one track/song. Hard to explain this one, will try: When recording and a loud note needs to come out, we need to turn her head or she needs to move away from the mic as not to cause explosives. This strain/loudness also affects her signature style and either a nasal effect or off tone unwarranted frequency takes over. Needs to be rounded or perfected to arrive when needed/appropriate to that song/part.

 Breathes away when ending most bars/killing the note abrubtly and shifting pitch down, is hesitant to let go and feel the music, rather tries to tie her voice to each track technically, will not scat/play, is hesitant to sound silly :P very important to be bubbly/experimental especially with the kind of raw closet talent.

In closing please get 'artists name' to practice do re mi’s in different timing variations and assign appropriate ‘homework’ which will in turn be her daily practice routine before final tuning…

Thank you kindly, these ARE just one persons opinions and suggestions, I would love any and all additional improvements one can make and truly feel that once a proper course is finished she will be a showstopper.
