After the extensive audition, they called us in to meet with the voice coach for a vocal assessment and to determine which section we would sing in while in the Temple Square Chorale. I was getting over my cold but it was no surprise that the fact I can sing F3 guarantees my spot in the second alto section. It kind of cracks me up since every voice teacher I ever had says I'm a soprano then I get in choirs and it's second alto land.
She also checked the following
- Overall Posture
- Head/Backbone Alignment
- Jaw Alignment
- Jaw Tension
- Chest Position
- Inspiration
- Expiration
- Vibrato
- Vibrato Rate
- Size of Tone
- Color/Resonance
- Onset
- Vowel Height
- Larynx Position
- Tongue Position
- Vowel/Lip Formation
- Lip Position
- Tongue Tension
- Facial Position
- Facial Expression
- Staccato Motion
- Marcato Motion
- Straight Tone
- Vowel Alteration
- and Messa di Voce
As you can see from the photo, I was centered and balanced in all areas. Except, I'm on the normal-bright side of resonance (opera training) and the size of my tone is towards "large". (But we all knew I was loud.)
