The session focused on developing the Student's vocal technique, addressing self-perception issues, and introducing advanced concepts. The Tutor discussed options for formal singing qualifications, and the Student practiced vocal distortion and learned about larynx placement to reduce nasality. They applied these techniques to warm-up exercises and practiced specific songs, with follow-up homework including recording practice and reviewing the LCM syllabus.

The session started with a discussion about potential singing examinations and their flexible, recorded format. The Student then performed 'Almost Over You,' receiving feedback on vocal mix and storytelling. They subsequently began working on 'A Million Dreams,' focusing on techniques for relaxation, breath support, larynx control, and dynamic pacing. The Tutor also suggested a new song, 'Maybe This Time,' and shared details about different exam syllabuses, with the Student expressing a preference for the musical theater track.

The Student and Tutor reviewed vocal warm-ups, re-did vocal range and buzz tests, and discussed larynx control for vocal tone. They practiced applying larynx control and strategic breathing techniques to two songs, 'Candle Shine Your Light' and a challenging arrangement of 'Jingle Bells.' The plan is to finish the 'Jingle Bells' song in the next session.

The session centered on advanced vocal technique, addressing the Student's concerns about vocal strain and nasality. They practiced dropping the larynx and various vowel exercises to cultivate a rounder vocal quality, applying these concepts to a specific song. The Tutor also introduced the possibility of pursuing formal singing examinations and discussed using pitch-correction software as an analytical tool for improving accuracy.

Student and Tutor focused on foundational vocal techniques, starting with warm-ups to enhance breath control and confidence. They explored the concept of 'mixed voice' to expand the Student's chest voice range, applying these techniques while practicing the songs "Delusional" and "Beauty and a Freak." Future sessions will incorporate specific vocal run exercises to improve precision and security in complex melodic passages.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's recent audition experience and discussed strategies for handling performance setbacks. They explored structured singing grade exams as a potential goal and practiced vocal techniques for mix and head voice, including specific exercises to improve placement and airflow. The session also covered the Student's upcoming vocal surgery and its potential impact on their singing.
