I apologize for making you practice in a park like this, but we don't really have time to find a suitable rehearsal studio.

No, that's okay...!

If anything, thank you for doing this!

Our primary goal will be to figure out what your habits are, Nene, and make it so your singing doesn't “stick out”.

Let's begin by hashing out what you need to fix and get the easy ones out of the way first.

After all, it may be necessary since they could somehow be tied to these habits of yours.

Okay!

Yes, good response!

So, let's get started.

First, sing as the Cowardly Canary for me and give it everything you have.

Okay!

Huff... Huff...

H-How did I do?

Like I said when we were at the cafe, you're very good. I actually really like the way you sing, Nene.

What?! Th-Thank you very much...

It's the honest truth, but try to listen to what I am about to say with that in mind.

First, you try to cover up the fact that you're running out of breath with a vibrato at the end.

You need to sing with the same volume all the way through.

Yes, thank you!

Would you mind if I took some notes?

Of course. And while we're on the subject of breathing...

Okay, that should just about cover it.

As I suspected, there are some things we need to take care of before we can start working on your habits. We'll discuss that a little later.

Yes, of course!

So, about fixing your habits...

Before we do, I'd like to hear how you arrived at your current portrayal of the Cowardly Canary. What made you think she sings this way?

Huh? But... If I don't move away from that, I'll end up ruining our show...

That only has to do with your habits. It has nothing to do with how you choose to play the Cowardly Canary, no?

And I have to believe that you arrived at this portrayal of her after giving it an enormous amount of thought.

I'd rather not see all your hard work go to waste.

Oh...

Thank you. I really appreciate that...
