Volume controls how strongly you project your thoughts and emotions into the world. Alyssa Liu turned this dial all the way up — not to be louder than the competition, but to finally perform as a full expression of herself. Before stepping away, she may have been performing with the volume partially muted, calibrated to what was expected of her. Coming back, she cranked it: 'That's what I'm fucking talking about.' That's full projection. Nothing held back.
