Inspiration plus perspiration

June 24, 2008 2:47 PM

To inspire the scholars to take their performances a notch higher, Teacher Kitchy showed them presentations of renowned singers. Some of which were Michael Buble, John Legend and Stevie Wonder. She had the scholars look closely at the relaxed facial muscles and correct posture to prove a point.

Also, the Overall Voice Mentor emphasized the importance of keeping away from vices and living a healthy lifestyle in order to preserve their voice quality.

After viewing the performances, the scholars were psyched to make an above average song number. However, they still failed to measure to Teacher Kitchy’s standards.

If Bea had the wrong choice of song, Apple lacked air supply due to sleeping late. Ross sang flat and had a shaky jaw while Miguel was advised to change the tone of some parts of his song. Iñaki’s version of “Superstar” was too uptight and his neck was stiff in trying to reach the notes. Laarni was emotionless and was urged by the mentor to believe the lyrics and lend life to the words. Jet was concerned on making a strong impact with his number but instead mistook it for volume and power.

Teacher Kitchy wasn’t all pleased with the practice and reminded them to absorb every bit of learning and experience. Truly, the scholars needed a whole lot of hard work to turn their renditions into dazzling performances. The Voice Mentor just hoped that they remain open enough to learn what they had to.

With less than a week before their next performance, will the scholars be able to absorb all information and technique for the show? Stay updated by catching Uberture with host Billy Crawford!
