I almost always forget some lyrics every time I'm performing. That's my fear there. 😅

[@kralvltavin9173]

I call that Patti Labelle syndrome

[@christine3071]

Me too! It’s like my brain just fuzzes out even though I know the lyrics

[@LyraCelestine]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us Victoria. I appreciate you ❤ So glad you are my vocal teacher!! You have so many experiences under your belt. I admire you for your courage. Its an honor to be able to be in the class.😃

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your post!

[@camillanielsen2415]

Thank you so much, Victoria, for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us - it has truely helped me with many challenges in singing🎤🎶💕 It’s relieving to hear that these bombes happens for everybody, even tho I wouldn’t wish it to happen for anyone😅💕 but that’s life… as long as you learn from it, nothing is lost🥳

[@josedopwell9645]

I love your resilience, Miss Victoria!! Here you are decades later training and encouraging others to sing. Last week I bombed 3 times singing a lead in my church choir for the first time. Froze like a deer in the headlights. I literally felt my voice choking! But as bad as I felt and sounded, I (eventually) realized that it wasn't the end of the world. In a sense I "needed" to bomb and realize I could survive it. I didn't die, I wasn't executed on the spot. I'm learning from failure, and its a lesson I can apply to other areas of my life. A person has to be willing to endure the occasional stink up on the way to excellence. I was singing scales the other day and I realized my range had increased. So I'm going to keep plugging away.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

YES! You are getting better and stronger all of the time! ⭐️🧡

[@kadd4415]

Keep going. Never give up. Victoria makes good points here. Some singers also need Confidence!

My pleasure 😊

[@lavapirate]

those are some funny stories! I have a story from college days. It was time for piano recitals and i had a difficult gershwin piece to perform. I was still incredibly shy back then and was terrified of having to play in front of the other students and teachers with all eyes on me - can you say panic attack? Before it was time to head in, i had brought along some liquid courage - a can of beer, thinking that'd take the edge off. But as i thought about it and all the famous musicians who had alcohol or drug problems, i thought, this was one way it could start. Thinking i had to be buzzed to be able to get out on stage and perform. I finally decided before going in that i'd rather be terrified and sober and even if i messed up, i'd know i was strong enough to handle it. I didn't play the piece perfectly - had a few minor slip ups on the tricky parts that probably most people didn't even catch and i got through it and it wasn't nearly as bad as i imagined. I knew from then on that i would be able to perform in front of an audience without any sort of crutch.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Great story! I’m glad you didn’t have that beer! Who knows how the story might have ended! 😄

[@joshdaniels2363]

Only 3? Honestly, that's a pretty impressive track record for 55 years!😅

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you. ☺️

[@musicnotes4755]

Oh I love this video, Victoria! I can really relate, as that has happened to me recently. I love how you keep it real!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you so much!! I have fun making these videos!

[@jennifertan4180]

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. I really needed to hear this right now as I sang badly at my first singing school concert. Even my friend who attended said I wasn’t good. But I want to get better and I’m going to keep going.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Keep going! You can do it!

[@davidanania7577]

Thank you for everything, from the free lessons you post here to the INCREDIBLE online learning program to sharing encouraging stories like these.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@inhocsigno9151]

Thank you for sharing your special moments. I had some moments I'd like to forget. Singing Live is a challenge, there is no Do Over.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I can laugh about it now, but I was crying back then. AND I learned from it and became stronger.

[@debbies6192]

I agree! I've had a few flops myself. If anyone else thinks they can better; I'll pass the mike. Lol

[@tallflatlander3493]

Been there done that. Gotta keep on singing!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

You bet! It’s normal! ☺️

[@SanciaHoskins]

Hello Ms. Victoria! I have a question, I watched your "Sick" vocal workout video, and you said don't sing if your voice is hoarse when you have a cold. The problem is I have an audition for a musical in a few days and there is no way I can get out of singing. For the first time I was excited and not nervous for an audition and then BOOM I got a cold. 😫 I was wondering do you have any tips that can help. (I'm singing "In My Own Little Corner" from Cinderella)

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Do the exercises in the "sick" warm-up video and watch this video that includes what to do if you "have" to sing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6fZq2Wsa9iCZ9ksi=L1zxHB4fsZMNXuZS. Rely on your resonance, clean vocal fold closure, and do not push your voice.

[@SanciaHoskins]

@@Victoria-Victorious Thank you! Also, is their any difference in what to do if my voice sounds frog-ish?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

@@SanciaHoskins same exact advice. ☺

[@izzy1157]

Do you have videos on jaw tension? I feel like my high notes disappear because my jaw and tongue and throat get so tight.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I have an entire playlist on Jaw Tension. Go to my channel page where you will find my many playlists arranged by topics. That's the easiest way to find what you need! 😀

[@bbcbeausoleil8689]

So encouraging to hear. Thanks for reminding that we're only human🙏. Singing for 50+ years (semi pro) and still remember the times I bombed early on. But as you say, I learned from each of them and moved forward. One taught me that being overly nervous is counterproductive. A fellow singer at the time was very matter of fact about my flubbing my song and said to me, "No sense to sing in public if you're that nervous." That brought me to my senses about why I sing for others and for myself--in a word JOY. Been relaxed about singing ever since then. The other bomb a few decades ago taught me to never ever ever take any song or my voice for granted by not practicing appropriately (vocally and musically) ... even it's just for a karaoke competition. Had a very slight sinus infection but got up there with minimal chops & thinking I knew the song better than I actually did and embarrassed myself. I knew it as I started that it was a bomb. Lesson learned.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Yes, we learn from our mistakes. ☺️

[@NicholasANappiNick]

I was playing guitar at a talent show and the singer forgot the words after my solo I didn’t play in public for 10 years after that I was more scared then Joe😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Are you ready to get out there and try again? 10 years is a long time!

[@highaltitude787]

But my voice is failing me, just doesn’t nor did it ever sound good singing overall. I’m bombing before even considering singing in front of a crowd. Just last night I was thinking that I should just call it quits I feel like I have impossible hope.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Have you really give yourself a chance with vocal training? I have tons of videos that can help you!
