Very cool video! I knew some things already, like how crucial good pitch is for developing good tone. The most fascinating thing was when the choir spread out, I'll never forget that difference and try to use that idea from now on. (not just in choir, but other things.) I liked being able to hear how mushy the improper annunciation, etc sounded from an audience members perspective. That is the crux for why you can't understand lyrics in a choir, and something I hope in my choir we continue to improve upon.
I figured you'd appreciate the choir aspect, but that you would actually use more of these in a recording setting - to help inexperienced groups/singers improve. Matching pronunciations and pianissimo/forte ect. So many simple things that can make a HUGE difference.
Also, not sure how open your choir director would be to showing this to your choir, but I feel like it's simple enough for everyone and that your choir might appreciate being able to hear the feedback the same way you did. Then everyone's going to think they're an expert though, lol.

DeleteI sent it over to her, she is recovering from a hip surgery currently - so she might appreciate the video to watch!
