The Student and Tutor worked on vocal technique, focusing on the song "Someone Like You." They practiced differentiating between chest and head voice, and the Student utilized a 'ny' exercise to improve head voice placement and reduce vocal scratchiness. The session concluded with the Student being assigned to continue practicing the song and the specific exercise for better vocal control.
