Daniela and Devory discussed Devory's ongoing vocal pain and explored potential causes and solutions. They worked on vocal exercises, shifting towards a more operatic technique to reduce strain. Daniela recommended trying collagen, vapor, and hot water to address potential dryness and suggested Devory send song ideas for future lessons.

Daniela Reyes Villa led a singing lesson with Maria Chapot, where they addressed vocal tension and placement. The lesson involved using exercises and phrases to explore chest and mixed voice, which they then applied to Sia's 'Unstoppable.' When Maria encountered difficulties, they pivoted to Christina Aguilera's 'What a Girl Wants' to find a more accessible way to tackle the vocal challenges, intending to return to 'Unstoppable' in a future lesson.

Daniela coached an individual from Lake View on vocal exercises and songs, including "Navajo Rug" and "Mary's the Name," to improve their intonation and pitch accuracy. Daniela emphasized the importance of hitting the correct notes and maintaining consistent intonation. The learner was assigned to practice singing with karaoke tracks and recording themselves playing guitar to sing over, to help them stay in key.

Daniela Reyes Villa led a singing lesson for an individual who resides in Haile Plantation. The lesson included vocal warm-ups, exercises to improve breath control and vocal presence, and focused on the song "Can't Help Falling in Love." She practiced singing with a karaoke track and received feedback on her intonation and confidence. Daniela will send her recordings of the exercises and a karaoke track in a lower key for practice, and they rescheduled the next lesson for Friday due to her travel plans.

During a recent vocal lesson in Raleigh, Daniela collaborated with Kaleb to tackle and eliminate a "granny" sound in his singing. Their lesson honed in on vocal exercises, breath control, and techniques to prevent vocal strain. They applied these methods while practicing "Can't Help Falling in Love," identifying precise sections that needed refinement. Kaleb was provided with exercises to work on throughout the week to improve his tone and get rid of the undesirable sound, and they arranged their next lesson for the following Wednesday.

Vocal coach Daniela conducted an online singing lesson with S Williams, concentrating on enhancing vocal balance and refining belt technique. During the lesson, they engaged in exercises designed to foster consistency across different vocal registers and prevent strain. Specific attention was given to challenges encountered in songs such as 'Somewhere Down This Road' and 'Defying Gravity.' For homework, S Williams was given targeted exercises to strengthen her lower register and improve her belt, with an emphasis on regular practice.
