NOTES FROM THE JUDGES

1. Have way more FUN
2. More vocal range/energy/to have things ‘pop’ and then come back down
3. More active physically and vocally. Pace could all be changed up to make it more active
4. A lot of them felt MONOTONE all the way through. Others were projecting all the way through
5. This is your chance to TAKE RISKS and push the envelope (while keeping it real and grounded)
6. The text can be explored further so that the work feels less ‘memorized’ and fresher
