Teacher Kitchy noted the common problem of exchanging the f’s and v’s. Bugoy openly admitted to having this syndrome which he wanted to correct. The Overall Voice Mentor then gave them a few exercises on tongue twisters that would sharpen their muscle memory and make correct pronunciation second nature to them. As for their performances last Saturday, the voice coach acknowledged everyone for giving a satisfactory performance despite the short amount of time. However, she still had a few pointers on how they could better their presentation. If Laarni, Van and Miguel had tight facial muscles, Liezel, Ross and Christian were relaxed. Christian however, still had to work on his pitch while Van had yet to go all out on his performance. Proper alignment was an issue for Iñaki, Jet and Sen. Chivas perfected it aside from being able to breathe correctly. Though his wife Bunny had good alignment as well, she had a tense voice which was a point against her. Apple was praised for proper breathing but it wasn’t the same with Bea and Sheng. Bea particularly had to learn proper phrasing since cutting the sentence midway affects the emotional impact on the audience. Cris, Bugoy and Jet on the other hand were advised on the technicalities of performing. Cris had her hat way down over her eye hindering her from connecting with the people. To give that oomph to his performance, Bugoy had to sustain the last note of his song. Jet was a comic figure to his classmates since he had that goofy smile all throughout which did nothing but tighten his facial muscles. With all the critiques staring them in the face, would the scholars absorb and employ the necessary techniques to set the stage on fire for their next Gala night?

Being a good performer isn’t just about delivering a remarkable performance. It is also important to send the message across. But how could they when the letters are poorly pronounced and the lyrics are misunderstood thus, disabling them to deliver effectively?

 The names Laarni, Iñaki, Christian and Bea were included in the list of Bottom Four Scholars. Fortunately for the last two, they were given another chance to prove themselves inside the Academy, thus leaving the other two under probation. Christian found his second chance in the Dream Mentors’ hands. Given the opportunity to choose, the Dream-credible team had decided to retain Christian inside the Academy because they were moved by the Boy Wonder’s persistence. They said that compared to the other three Scholars, Christian was the one who had shown the greatest interest to learn, so they decided to give him that chance.
Bea, on the other hand, got off the hook through the other Scholars’ unanimous decision. She got eight out of the 13 votes. Her co-Scholars said that she deserves to stay inside the Academy because she still has a lot of things to learn. Her great relationship with other Scholars also served as her plus points.
As for the results of their group effort, Pupilars were able to hit the passing score with their 7.88 GPA. As promised, their 500-peso-per-student extra allowance for the week was handed over to them by no other than the Headmaster himself, Mr. C. Team One Voice, on the other hand, didn’t have the same privilege. Their GPA was only 6.86 – way lower than the passing which is 7.5. Unfortunately for them, they will have to survive the week only with basic necessities that the Academy will provide.
Laarni and Iñaki are now in a very crucial situation. In less than a week’s time will be the next Gala Performance Night. By then, one of them has to step out of the Academy and lose the chance of being hailed the Season’s Grand Star Dreamer.
