Singing concept taught by Presley
Presley worked with Frobrina on vocal techniques, including breath control, soft palate awareness, and vocal placement, using exercises and a reggae song. Frobrina explored emotional connections to singing and practiced projecting her voice forward. They scheduled the next lesson for September 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, or 6th due to Presley's filming schedule and Frobrina's vacation.
