[@Paige-nx4wx]

I just discovered and began watching/listening to your videos. Fantastic! I took vocal lessons from an excellent teacher as a teenager. Your teaching is so similar, but you are covering a broader range of topics. I have a mezzo voice and at least as a young person I had an unusually wide vocal range. My problems that plagued me, besides being a lazy student at that age, lol, were some problems with "breathiness" and also sometimes tending to "swallow" my voice. In retrospect I realize that I had a lot of chronic tension and anxiety , that at times affected my speaking voice in a chronically stressful environment. Many years have passed but I've always enjoyed singing and haven't at all for some time. I've decided to bring this back into my life because it's such a joyful form of expression and can really connect with the heart, even if one is just doing it alone. I'm much more relaxed as an adult but I'm eager to see how I can work with my voice and discover what my true singing voice is now and improving it. Thank you!

[@merlisist]

Maybe this time, dear Victoria!!!! P.x

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

Victoria! No wonder you use VICTORIOUS in your description! This is the second video I have watched, OK a new one, but I will be looking at your others. Being soprano, my world is one full of high notes, but I also endorse singing the lower notes (I can just about reach C3 but cannot go lower) because I know you will understand when I say a "good" range is necessary. My genres are opera and musical theatre (though I sing some "easy listening" songs as well) so I know it is not enough to sing half a dozen high notes! So I simply adore singing and warm up for around 30 minutes, after my body warm ups and "pre-lim" vocal ones. But that aside, I love theory too because theory is important to singing as foundations are for building a house, so this is where you come in Victoria, you are teaching us that theory, but you are making it fun. Your singing at the end of the video was superb, you have a beautiful and crystal clear voice. Please don't give up - we need you!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Oh, thank you, Diane! Best wishes to you!

[@mar44122]

Victoria, I watched and still watch your videos. I had to take a pause a while back though, because although I practice and do as you say, the change didn't really happen until I absorbed and completely understood what you meant by, for example, breath support. I think I watched that playlist four times, then it suddenly clicked 😃. I can support better, I can sustain the tone longer and it sounds brighter (almost to the end!)... It took a bit of time, but god did it change my life! The only thing I need to really work on is linking between high notes in chest and head voice.. I still squeeze my throat when I go high in chest voice. But I know that I got the best coach! 🤩❤️

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Sure! This is very common. Sometimes certain things in technique take a while to "click". It may be weeks, months (or even years for some singers). If you practice correctly, things will click when the body is ready and also, the progress happens *_gradually_* . Great to see you again!

[@mar44122]

@@Victoria-Victorious that is true! Breath support is not as easy as I thought the first time around I heard about it from you. It shocked me really, when I used my muscles correctly, how great my voice sounded!... A game changer! It is great to be back, ready for your new techniques. ❤️

[@RollinParty]

I've struggled with my tongue placement for some time because I've been placing it behind my teeth instead of on top which caused it to curl up... Thanks for the tongue tip ... I think I've got a short jaw rather than a long tongue

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Not sure if your message had a mistake. The "home base" position of the tongue on all vowels is either behind the bottom front teeth or on the gum slightly below it.

[@mariacoronado1392]

Thank you Victoria you did it again! How can you check a lil piece of song I'm singing to see if I'm doing right or wrong? Ok let me know pls...I will share this with friends

the nasal notes thing, that's what I call it. My whole life I have felt that in my Nasal and my teeth. I'm 62 1/2, I still have most of my teeth, most people don't have them at my age. I sing on a Singing app. Awesome, people from all age and all around the world. most people can't sing. and some of us can. I do solos Sometimes for listening purposes, I send out duets. I get a few people Sing along with my videos. But, mostly I sing songs That are sent to me. Lonely at the top. Thank you I love watching your videos, you're very helpful. And a beautiful woman

[@bernicegrove4285]

Hi Victoria, I’m so grateful for you and your lessons. I have problems with allergies, drainage, etc and do the typical lemon & honey, saline spray and gargling to help clear my voice. Any better suggestions? I recently joined Worship group at church, which is why I’m messaging you. The keys and range they sing in make it challenging for me, which is why I’m listening to you. I’m 60 and was in band and chorus in school and have always played instruments & sang, just not with a group, beside Cantatas at church. I sing Christian music and love the newer versions of the old Hymns, especially ace Ce Winans “Worthy of it All”, which I practice a lot using my voice. Hope to get a reply from you on Messenger, thanks for everything. You’re a wonderful Blessing 😮❤

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I prefer nasal irrigation to nasal spray. Do a search on it. I also use Mucinex when needed. As far as the worship team music, I recommend that you develop a good mixed voice, probably chest mix. See my playlist on the Mixed Voice.

You have a pro set of pipes and highly distinguishable from the rest on KZbin Thanks so very much for your passion and insight. Hey but as far as me although I can't sing yet I plan to and as I am always guilty for looking for the - between anal and retentive another window to see through the flesh might even illustrate for us the vocal chords in the same routine as a piano string we shorten them as we strive for the high notes and utilize the entire length as we sing as low as possible in the same routine a lower note longer vocal chord and piano string whereby increasing the sustain and or envelope of sound So as a soprano hits a high glass shattering note it takes for support to keep the vocal pipes primed because the high notes do not resonate or sustain at all in the same manner as the lows. Guy singing in a falsetto learned amongst the rudimentary essentials how to lean the chords in a way against the throat shortening the string like a capo on a guitar OK sorry for the tendentious rant and know I have much love for your voice and in the manner the services you provide There needs to be more singers

Hi Victoria, your videoes are very helpful. I sing Chinese Opera(female part) and sing in falsetto most of the time. The problems for me and many of women who sing female part is singing the low notes rather than the high notes. It became unstable when I sing low. I find that there are very few videoes on singing low notes, especially for women singers. Would you consider making one?

Thanks so much for this great video, Victoria! I was wondering whether you could also cover belting in a future video? Also, will you perhaps release a couple of vocal analysis videos on some pop singers with good technique, such as Lara Fabian or Jennifer Hudson? And lastly, I noticed that the best sounding high note singers have a huge dip in their tongue the higher they sing whilst keeping their tongue fairly wide at the same time. Is this an indication of correct technique? And if so, is there a particular exercise that can help in achieving this? 🙏☺️

I have a video on belting and also on the tongue. You can find by doing a search. BTW, I am not a fan of the grooved tongue or dip.

What about problems negotiating consonants and high notes? For example Zeiten in the 2nd verse of Schubert’s An Die Musik.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I will make a video on consonants. It is on my list. If you have problems, sing the line on a vowel or vowels and if easier, gently insert the consonant, making sure that you are not stopping the breath, overblowing, or getting tight at the consonant. Go back and forth from vowel only to adding consonant.

[@weeboon695]

Hi Victoria, I am impressed by your teaching and had subscribed to your singing program. I have this problem which is whenever I did your vocal exercises like humming or practise a open throat vowel, my voice or humming sound just sort of disappears when the notes get too high, I could feel a sense of strong pressure on my head. The humming sound or my voice would come back once it comes down and reaches my comfortable range. How do I improve on this issue?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Without hearing or seeing you, I would say to focus on your middle voice and work slowly upward from there. You are probably disconnecting as you get higher. Follow the videos in my beginner playlist and also in the playlist on high notes.
