Hey Paul;I just listened to the song and am quite impressed with your niece's voice. Lots of potential there, and a very unique quality. Plus I loved hearing the obvious joy you two were sharing in making the recording. That's what it's all about!It might be helpful to have her listen to female vocal jazz artists for ideas on how to sing with a more straight tone, and also she might benefit from listening to the late Eva Cassidy, who I think has some of the most powerful phrasing and intentionality in how she uses her voice.
