Dearest Victoria, I am a hungarian opera singer, and I just wanna tell you, that I💖 looooooooove you💖so 💖much💖. I saw all your videos, and can tell you, that you helped me with every single video with my voice technic.(and I'm not a beginner). Thank God, that you are here for us. 🙏 Everything, what you tell us, and show us, is so helpful! Thank you for everything👋👋❤️❤️❤️All the best for you!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you so much for your beautiful post! Truly appreciated! ♥❤💜

Funny, I'm a Hungarian too. But an intermediate beginner! And I love Victoria for the exact same reasons!! Köszönöm széppen⚘

Thank you! 💚

[@rubixcube8248]

Dang! I just hit a very high note for the first time in my life. I am very excited about it. You are really a great teacher ma'am. Thank you so much.

[@artnardone]

You are amazing, I feel like I know you. I'm 60 from Brooklyn NY. I say thank you and I give you more respect than the other voice people wearing head phones.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Hi, fellow Brooklynite! I was raised in Brooklyn but moved to CA many years ago! Welcome to my channel!

[@tedglover7664]

Thank you so much Victoria. My wife Marie and I had a duo in the 80s, and after raising our kids I am songwriting once again at 75 years old. You have helped me regain my singing voice and I have learned a lot of new techniques I was unaware of in the 80s. I'm holding pitch better and have gained confidence in performing at singer songwriter nights because of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@josephinebrown6631]

Thank you kindly for your humility & wisdom🤍

[@avisevans4954]

Thank you so much for all your videos 😊as a choir singer I’m practicing to sing better and singing in a group with my husband.This is so helpful and a blessing for me. Thank you again ❤keep up the AWESOME work your doing.May God continue to bless you 😘

[@kralvltavin9173]

I greatly appreciate how you are a master and admit that even you have limitations. Very encouraging because we get obsessed with perfection and not being able to reach that really high note and may get discouraged as we max out lower than we'd like. But that's okay! Working within our range would be more satisfying when we forget about being "perfect".

[@suranjanabasu498]

I can't thank you enough for your integrated advice. I shall follow your instructions meticulously. ❤

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thanks so much! 💚

[@CROSSofIRON-uk]

Thanks! That bending over at the waist thing - loads of metal singers do it, I assumed it was just stage posing but it really helps squeeze the air out! I think also it is really about quality of notes rather than absolute pitch - often a really peircing tone with strong vibrato can create the illusion of being a much higher note.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I had a male metal student who had the most piercing high notes that I have ever heard! Haunting, beautiful and exciting with the control of an opera singer!!

[@CROSSofIRON-uk]

@@Victoria-Victorious Victoria, thanks for taking the trouble to reply - I know you are busy...and I can see why, really inspiring. That is a super interesting reply, to something I've been trying to work out too long. Assuming the basics in place/can be fixed, is this 'peircing' metal tone all about perfecting high head resonance and sharp placement, with chainsaw vibrato on top ? less nasal?

[@marywolf2459]

I am so glad to have discovered you ! I was asked to sing a Vivaldi solo in our upcoming choir concert and was worried as I felt my voice was so rusty due to not singing much during lockdown. Your amazing videos have kickstarted my voice. Effortlessly produced a high A using the siren technique which was such a joy to discover just how easy that was. Thankyou

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Fabulous! I'm happy for you!

[@BambieMaree]

Best advice I've ever heard. Just terrific. Thank you.

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

Dear Victoria, this is one amazing video. I do work on those points you gave us, but you emphasise their importance so well, that it makes me want to work even harder. As a soprano myself, I am always drawn to titles that have the words "high notes" in them, or something to that effect. I do sirens, I work on my middle voice, even the lower notes although they are my weakest. Doing those sirens with you was wonderful, I felt as if I were reaching to the dizzy heights! I know the importance of the middle voice. I did read (and hear) in the past that in order to reach those lovely high notes, that it's necessary to work on the lower ones too, which I always took notice of and DID work on them. I do know someone who sings VERY high (never any middle voice notes), but is off key a lot of the time, with very little control. I know immediately if I am in the wrong key, or I sang what I call a "bum note", and I am sure you know just what I mean. You know Victoria, we just have to know when things are right, and everything is in place don't we? Sometimes I will sing only ONE song in an afternoon (one I am wanting to record) and even then I may not be satisfied. But I also think that sometimes it can get monotonous doing that, and I can lose the drift if you get my meaning. I was interested in what you said about the note F6 because I can reach it in practice, but singing it in a song - huh! totally different! Sorry this is a long comment Victoria - I can easily get carried away when I talk about singing! A big THUMBS UP to you once more.

[@lenoreurbanski8393]

Victoria, I’m listening to you everyday. I am 77 and just started private lessons. I have a voice bc my dad sang the opera arias so I learned very young. It’s just a hobby. I have a bad TMJ problem, but I do what I can. Thank you! You give me confidence.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Wonderful! Welcome to the channel!

[@advocate1563]

Just found you. Gosh you're lovely. I set myself the F6 Holle Rache challenge and have failed. Have got over myself and stopped squeezing at the top. The vocal folds can be trained BUT much is genetic (you need naturally shorter folds to get the CT stretch - end of). Rejecting that which we are given is a crime; love your voice and treat it with compassion. Otherwise you have a future of strain and potentially polyps and nodules ahead. Thank you for your wisdom and candid sharing.

[@maxsonline]

Hi Victoria, could you do more videos on vocal tension? I’ve been taking classes with a professional for a year, and even though we’ve made progress, the tension is a huge challenge for me, tongue, throat, laringe, mouth. It’s there especially as I approach high notes and my passage and it’s frustrating!

I have lots of videos on vocal tension. Here is my PLAYLIST: Throat, Tongue & Jaw Tension in Singing - Free up your Voice! kzbin.info/aero/PLaWjWxiTysDDDSGygoVWRk_IfZeFI71aj. Also, my next video that will be published on Saturday will be on Vocal Strain - How to Prevent Damage.

Oh Yes! This is exactly the advice I needed. Victoria, are you a proponent of strengthening and engaging the pelvic floor for singing? If so, can you please consider a lesson on that topic? I read about it but not sure about it. Thanks very much. Bob

[@leahyodico9818]

Thank you 😊

[@islandeatssand684]

Thank you! I’m probably going to try to focus more on my lower and middle registers for now. I think the fact that my head voice somehow has more power than my chest voice is probably a sign that I should focus on my chest voice more. My chest voice can barely go up to a C4 which I’m pretty sure even basses are supposed to be able to go higher. Which is sad cause I’m almost definitely not a bass, probably in more of a tenor or baritone range.

[@colleenwunderlich2030]

Victoria, I am so grateful for your videos. My voice coach passed away, and I have not found a new one yet. I want to know why it is that my high notes sound beautiful when I sing them classically. And when I try and belt them for a pop style they sound thin. I know that the thicker part of our vocal cords are used for belting, and that we have to stretch them thin for high notes. But why would the difference Result from style change? Please advise.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

It all depends on how high you are singing. We can only take the chest blend so high and then we need to transition to head blend. However, head blend can still sound robust and boomy with good vocal fold closure and resonance. I suggest strengthening your mix at the transition first.

I can lip trill up to a A6#-B6, but my singing voice's top range is A5#-B5. Does that mean I will someday be able to sing that high? Keep in mind I am a growing tween!

How to sign distant

[@matangi.justsing2323]

Ma'am when I sing High notes, there are two voices like the singing voice and a breathy voice.. When I ask someone why breathy voice is coming from my throat while singing high notes, he said it's due to bump in vocal folds. Also my range is pretty high, I am a soprano.. But is breathy voice Normal or there is something I am doing wrong??

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Breathy voice is common for many singers in the upper register because the coordination is weak. The only way to tell if your vocal folds are healthy would be for you to be examined by an ENT dr. As far as exercises, I would start with simple sirens, starting with middle voice. I demonstrate that a lot in my videos.

[@daryushowell6530]

I must've went the wrong way because i haven't got to the gateway yet

[@julianrian6214]

Hey I just wanna say your videos So helpful but lately, I heard a clicking sound from my throat do you know why??

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I don't know. That does not sound right. Rest your voice and if you are concerned, see an ENT doctor.

[@mradaChris]

I wish you hadn't equated falsetto and head voice as being the same. They really aren't the same.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Hmmm…. Where did I say that? I just watched my entire video again and I did not say that anywhere. I said that if men choose to go into falsetto in one of the exercises, it is fine. HOWEVER, there are 2 kinds of falsetto and both ARE head voice, CT dominant. (They certainly are not chest voice of TA dominant). There is breathy falsetto which is weak because the vocal folds do not close, hence the term “breathy falsetto”. There is reinforced falsetto which is stronger because the vocal folds close efficiently. It’s all a matter of terminology. I have trained quite a few professional male falsettists and they sing in reinforced falsetto.

[@mradaChris]

@@Victoria-Victorious I tend to use a spectogram (spectral analysis tool) to confirm whether I am singing in falsetto or head voice and the presence of overtones gives it away. Falsetto (minimal amount of overtones), Head voice (maximal amount of overtones). What gets me is that no one ever says a woman sings in falsetto, when in fact some do. The voice is pretty much the same between men and women physically with the exceptions being the length of the vocal folds and the bone structures etc. It be like saying a Volkswagen bug is not a car but a Cadillac is. To me that is shear nonsense as both are cars. I guess I am hypersensitive to the word "falsetto". I would agree that falsetto is mainly a form of head voice, with less connection and hence airier sounding. But I have heard a man singing in falsetto in the lower ranges too. Shocked me when I heard it.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

When I work privately with my students who sing in falsetto, we always work on reinforced falsetto. All of them know the difference between breathy falsetto and reinforced falsetto. If a woman sings in breathy head voice, that is the equivalent of breathy falsetto - breathy head voice, inefficient VF closure, poor resonance, weak. I tell them that. Everything you are saying, I know. It’s always the use of terminology that is confusing.

[@mradaChris]

@@Victoria-Victorious I just know that I can't sing in falsetto. Been accused of singing in falsetto but then when I whip out the old spectogram I say see not falsetto! LOL

[@mugrad25]

​@@Victoria-Victorious is it possible to mix reinforced falsetto with the other registers..my reinforced falsetto has its own range, F3-F#5 and im trying to figure out why lol
