>>44069429Whether you enjoy someone's singing is only a small part of whether the person is a "good singer". Singing technique is judged by how much control the person is able to exert over their own voice. There are many factors that can be used to get a good idea of their skill level. But this thrown together rubric is obviously not exhaustive and some categories overlap.
1. Pitch accuracy. Does she easily go sharp or flat without realizing it? Does she misjudge the first note of a phrase? Does she have to slide into notes because she is unable to accurately estimate and hit the note out of the gate?
2. Vocal control. Does she estimate the note's pitch accurately, but have to scoop into it because she is unable to hit them otherwise? Can she jump between widely-spaced intervals accurately and quickly? Does she have to yell to force out high notes, or is she unable to sustain her voice while singing softly? When she transitions between chest and head voice, is it extremely noticeable and jarring, or so smooth/hidden it can't be noticed?
3. Breath/volume control - Does she breath at bad timings, breaking the flow of a line? Does she trail off weakly at the end of lines when she should be ending off strong instead? Does she maintain a consistent volume when required, with smooth dynamic changes?
4. Enunciation - Are most of her sung lyrics understandable? Are any syllables pronounced overly harshly?
5. Consistency of tone - Does the singer's timbre change between or even within the same line, even at the same pitch? Do different types of syllables make her voice sound too unpleasantly different, such as 'aaah's being harsh while 'oooh's sound diffused and unfocused? When hitting high notes that should be within her range, is her voice way too breathy as compared to her comfortable range?
