A Before and After Recording of the Same Song, by Mzao Waters...
Singing 'Glycerine' (Bush)
with Director Kathleen Saffas' Comments Below
Director's Note: What's the difference in Mzao's Before & After???
00:40 - 00:55 You'll notice in the Before his pitch is slightly flat ~
After he has learned how to sing on the overtone.
01:40 In the Before his jaw tension makes it difficult to produce high notes: he's squeezing out
the high notes.
After - he supports the high notes with his body, instead of "squeezing" them out by
tightening his jaws.
02:07 In the Before the vocal fry is harsh and driven through his false folds;
After, he has control of the closure to make vocal fry.
In the Before you will notice his diction is unclear because of the extreme tension in his jaw:
After you clearly hear each and every word.
