Dot's American Idol Review: 3/17/09 - Grand Ole Opry -Cou...

http://www.dotsidolvlog.com Los Angeles Vocal Coach Dot Todman gives humorous advice to American Idol Contestants and Singers about building a song with subtext. Here's a sneak peak at Dot's Exclusive Notes to Idol Contestants. For more information, Login at http://www.dotsidolvlog.com Danny Gokey: My Advice same as GRACE. Its about the commitment. You can be slow and soft and STILL INTENSE from the beginning! You should feel like youre holding back, but still committed. David Cook was/is GREAT AT THIS BECAUSE he knows how to be present. When Randy says pitchy just ignore him. I dont quite think he knows how to explain what hes feeling, but I guarantee you it has to do with your not being as present and committed to the song. Its not about just singing SOFT and supported. Its about WHY DO YOU WANT TO SING SOFT? Got it? Now show me next week you know what Im talkin about, because Paula is RIGHT ON!
