The Face-Off Competition Begins

July 29, 2008 2:42 PM

This morning, Teacher Kitchy called in the scholars by pair to practice their pieces. Both Liezel and Laarni had high vocal ranges and they tried to measure the other by observing the octaves one could reach. The two sang at the top off their lungs and were in the performance level mode.

The Overall Voice Mentor noticed that both had the same problem of collapsing their ribcage which cuts off their air supply. Both had to belt out their songs and this disabled them from doing so.

Bugoy on the other hand only had to polish his piece while his opponent, Apple seemed to have a long way to go in perfecting hers. However, she was determined to hit the right notes and achieved this at the end of their session.

If Van had problems in shifting of notes, Sen kept losing his breath support and ended the last line of his song abruptly. Though the latter experienced difficulty in sustaining the last note, he was comfortable with his Latin piece “Bailamos” and even grooved as he rehearsed. His competition on the contrary seemed tensed up in reaching the high keys.

Meanwhile, Miguel already had a gimmick and decided to play the piano for the first part of his number unlike Iñaki who had yet to think of an act. Cris still couldn’t think of how to end her song while Bunny had technical singing problems. How else will the scholars step up their game as they vie to be in the Top Five? Accompany the scholars as they face their newest challenge and tune in to Uberture!
