[@kevinjones7307]

Finally, a teacher who demonstrates and explains perfectly the transition from breathing support exercises to actual singing! I have been doing endless breathing and warm-up exercises from various channels for weeks now but not really understanding how they would apply. I was hoping they would just miraculously improve my voice over time. Now, I understand it perfectly thanks to you, Victoria. It will take a lot of practice, but now I know how to practice effectively.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Great! Make sure to watch the other videos in my breathing and breath support playlist.

[@annacomeskey7949]

I've heard so many people try to explain breath support to me, and your explanation is the only one that has worked. Most people either don't explain it in a way I understand, or what they say is just straight up wrong. I noticed such a difference after watching this and a few of your other breath support videos!

Really amazing stuff. I’ve been working with a great classical voice teacher who’s been doing it for 30+ years and have never trusted any of the so-called vocal coaches on KZbin like I do him. You’re the exception. You seem to have a great, informative, and applicable video about pretty much any vocal question I could have. I also appreciate that you always emphasize the importance of the whole body, and address issues of vocal health and longevity at every applicable moment. Thank you.

I'm currently working on my singing through doing the beginners' singing lessons guide playlist. I already feel more in control.

I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, you dont know what it means to me. I was ready to quit singing, now after a couple of months of training what you told I cant believe I can finally do what I always had problems with.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

You are so welcome. Thank you for such a beautiful message.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Some of my repertoire requires a lot of support. It took a long time before I got it to where it's basically ingrained. I can't think of a skillset more valuable for singing, for example Motown tunes. I still work on support during practice.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Absolutely!

[@fishiesgaming]

I found an interesting way to train this by accident: sing under the shower, right in the middle where it gets a little harder to breathe and water drops may cover your mouth as you open it. I was singing one song and because i become careful in breathing in as to not suck in water droplets, the air goes quickly directly from mouth-only to diaphragm, and i naturally try to preserve my air more while singing. My singing becomes more powerful, with better vibration, and even parts where i usually use nasal voice i can use diaphragm voice. That's honestly my best version of singing that song 😄 I need to do it more often so it becomes muscle memory because if not i will sing with nasal voice as usual

[@ysa9176]

Wow... I'm only three videos in and I already feel so much better about my chances at improving and I'm SUPER EXCITED to continue! 💗 Thank you so much for all the effort and passion you've put into your channel, hope you get better soon 🥺

Amen. Breath support is too alien to the new singer. No idea whatsoever. Thanks for dedicating a whole video on this. Very practical and informative. This is how it should be taught in the choir.

I keep coming back to this playlist and listening intently. I'll get it eventually--I'm determined! It seems my current issue is the balance between inhalation and exhalation. I find I do best right after those exercises, as you say. And when I am properly supported and my airflow is balanced, my voice sounds sooooo beautiful. I have been tearing up at the thought because I have worked so hard on my voice and this is the key right here to getting me to the other side! Thank you thank you thank you, Victoria! 🥰

Great! I hope it helps with both your sax playing and singing! Practice lip trills to vowels. I have a video on that.

Wonderful videos! This is so fun to watch because I actually teach breath support in the same way as you, and I haven´t met too many that do. I like the way you used the italian word for it.

This video answered some questions I had after one of your other videos. Thank you. By the way, as a balloon twister, please know that the thinner balloons actually require more support to inflate. The ones that are 3 inches in diameter (called 360's as they are 3 inches by 60 inches) are much easier than the 2 inch diameter ones (260's). Some people have popped blood vessels in the eyes from mouth-inflating 260's, so most will use pumps. The common party balloons most people can mouth-inflate easily are about 10 inches in diameter.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Great to know! Thank you for your balloon twisting expertise! 😃

[@artyomhvans]

Breath = motor, Support = regulator. This is such a great analogy.

Thank you so much for your wonderful classes. Looking forward to joining your programs really soon!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I'm so happy that my videos can help you so much! I hope to meet you in one of my group classes.

[@artyomhvans]

@@Victoria-Victorious Yes, I'm thinking of it. I was also about to purchase your exercise course, but got confused as to which type of voice I need to select (because presumably you'll have the scales and keys according to the range of the selected voice type). Any advice on how to go about that?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

In answer to your question, each program covers 2 1/2 octaves in range. If singers are not sure of their voice type, I recommend ordering alto/mezzo-soprano for women and bass/baritone for men, especially for beginners. That is for lower to medium voice types, so unless you consider your voice to be high, this should work. If not, you have 30 days to switch to the higher voice category.

[@artyomhvans]

@@Victoria-Victorious Thank you, that'll help me to choose!

[@malihoffmann4746]

love this video! i love that you mention, that when we are using the breath support, we are not "holding the breath"! that is something that i have been struggling with. it is like my lower abdominal muscles just don't want to be engaged.so for me it was very helpful to finally hear other options than the old "hold up your pee"!!! thanks for the input

[@sandrataylor9122]

Hi Victoria, I am enrolled in your program and learning a lot. My biggest problem right now is mixed voice. I do not have a problem going up into head voice but I have a serious problem going down to chest voice. I took, over the years, approximately 20 years of voice lessons. For the last 15 years I have only sung in small church choirs. I stopped because of family responsibilities. I am now 75 and trying to regain some of my voice. I used to sing high b/s easily which would be nice to get back. I am up to a high g now. I did not used to have trouble settling into chest voice but now It feels like when I come down to around f over middle c it feels like I have, I guess, mucus under the top of my vocal cords that I cannot clear above that I have no problem . I can sing chest in a very heavy voice but I have not been able to figure out why I cannot sing through the change and get the "sound" of connection there.. Could that be a part of breath support collapse or my age? Thank you.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I cannot tell without seeing and hearing you. My next group class on April 27 will be on Mixed Voice! The email was sent yesterday. You can also check the Group Class page on my website.

[@johnbridges6867]

Hello Victoria. I hope you are fine and smiling. Thank you SO very much for being So very thoughtful and Soooo kind in sharing your wonderful expert tuition. You are defiantly an Ace, and I find you and your techniques Fascinating! You explain first class and your passion is Full, I absolutely love that. I have always loved singing and especially that cry in a voice such as Elvis had that is SO full of emotion. I have learnt to sing exactly like that, But I am So so shy to sing in front of anyone, I sing low at church because if I sang out loud I think I may be told to sing quieter. I just couldn’t sing without singing with emotion. I have never seen a vocal coach anywhere before and I just love your Brilliant unique videos, I am completely gladly amazed by you and I will study your videos over and over. WOW I love your So powerful versatile Beautiful voice, Amazing!!! I would just love to see you perform in concert with the great Andre Rieu. That would be superb!!!! Thank you again So very very much Victoria, you I know are making a Great happy difference to people world wide, and Stars will be made because of YOU! 👏😀. I wish you Great health wealth and happiness and that God gives you all of your needs. Stay safe warm and smiling Xx. JB. East Surrey. UK.

Victoria's FORMULA for singers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iICoknx4mNiWb80, I would watch because includes resonance. Make sure that you are not pressing your tongue down because this will give you that swallowed sound and create a lot of tension.

Good day, I used to sign pretty good (but did not take many lessons) but a recent jaw problem makes it impossible for now. I am waiting for an intervention about that. Meanwhile, I still have to work… and talk at least 15 hours a week on stop. I am a fitness trainer. I guess if I apply your advices it should help me use less jaw mouvement and have more power without straining my vocal cords?? Your support system is close to what I teach for muscle toning. So far you are the best I saw on the internet, you are really generous. Hope you can help. Thanks so much.

[@louisegabriellediaz1491]

I seriously just love your teaching style! Can you suggest silent exercises that similarly are good for the voice? Sometimes it's really hard to practice when you think others are gonna judge you

Awesome tips

[@michaelchantonese]

Hi Victoria, thanks for such an amazing video. Love your intensity, sass and detail! I'm understanding the concept of support, but finding it hard to put into practice. I still feel like I'm using my throat (maybe lower throat and not so much upper) to help produce the sound and not 100% using the support. Is there some sort of feeling or sensation that can maybe "confirm" i'm using my support and not my throat to produce the sound?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thanks for sharing!! While support is vital to good singing, it is not the solution for everything. If your throat is tight to begin with, then you have to figure out where this tension starts. I have lots of videos on this. You could begin with kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJmxf6JsiLmaiqc. It could be due to tongue or jaw tension (videos on that too). You will know that you are making progress when there is a sense of ease in your throat while singing. I also recommend that you watch my video that is designed to be the first lesson, just to make sure that your overall approach is right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXnCgIltrqp3nJY

[@mommyromzvlog]

Thank you for your tips mam.Have a great day

[@reuben5888]

Hi Victoria, thanks again for another great video. From what I understand, correctly applying breath support would help me with my problem of shaky singing in the lower range right? By properly restraining enough air flow while having steady exhalation would create a more steady tone in my lower ranges?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Hi, Reuben. This can be due to many reasons. This shakiness could be from locking the breath, tight abs, a tight tongue or the larynx too high. I recommend that you keep working on balanced and supported airflow and try the other exercises on my different videos. We must learn to be vocal detectives. :).
