HW REVIEW

Let's rehash a bit on what the goal of this HW was. Projection is the practice, and the scene in mind is if you were speaking in a gymnasium full of people. You have no microphone to boost your voice, and the people at the back of the crowd need to hear you.

On a scale of 1 to 10, your projection is around a 4. The crowd in the back are asking each other what you are saying, because they can't hear you at the level of projection you are giving.

You need to utilize your diaphragm to push more air out when you speak so that your voice can carry. Projection is power, and without energy (your diaphragm and your breath), you won't get the power that you need.

While your projection needs workshopping, your read itself is clear, and consistent. You have solid control of your breath when you are speaking at this level. There are a couple of spots where your energy picks up a little. You can definitely vary up that energy and "mood" more often, but overall this is still a decent read.

Keep practicing with your projection. Listen to some power ballads and listen to how the singers project their voice with their diaphragms. Press on your diaphragm when you speak to feel how it is affecting your vocal volume output. Practice doesn't make perfect, but it does make improvement.

I look forward to hearing how your vocal strength will evolve over these next weeks!
