Concerning the jaw-clenching: ...I really don't know. I don't know anyone who had that problem. I guess my only advice would be to find a way to not stress as much. That doesn't help worth nothing, but there ya' go.
Thank you!
But don't worry: if you practice enough, you'll get to a point where you open your throat very naturally, and, eventually, can't really do the thing improperly, comfortably.
But enough about that: is there anything opening on Broadway next season you're looking forward to seeing?
Here's a hint: do some singing exercises (do re mi fa so la ti do and then back down, maybe), and when you breathe, open your mouth and throat wide, as if you're yawning. That'll give you a nice, deep sound (like the sound you hear from singers who have to fill a huge huge concert hall).
Also, when you breathe, be sure to draw breath from your stomach (so that you can see your stomach pushing out to get the breath), and not from your chest (which produces a shallow, nasal sound).
At the moment, your singing is too nasal, but those two techniques should really help.
And drink lots of water, warm (cold constricts your vocal chords).
My daughter worked as a college intern this winter in costuming at "On with the show" and "Beauty and the Beast" at Hollywood Studios. Now she wants to move to Orlando. She says people are really nice there.
Good luck with your singing!
Adrienne
beautiful job with the song!
your voice is really pretty, you sound like you have good control over your voice.
