I was a voice major 20 years ago in college, and haven’t really trained my voice since then. I found your channel and OMG, it’s like I’m falling in love with voice training all over again!!! I had my thyroid removed a couple of years ago, and had some vocal damage from that surgery. I’m excited to see if I can strengthen my voice back to what it used to be using your exercises!

[@Theeonlycortez]

Update : Doing this regularly made a good difference in my voice!! Thank you so much. Can’t wait to work with you 1 day!

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your post!

[@Oblisk]

I’m watching this because not only do I want to learn how to sing, but from not being a loud person or very confident kid growing up, my vocals have suffered. I’ve had a deep voice since middle school, and every since puberty, suffered voice cracks growing up. Even now, I occasionally have voice breaks or feel my vocal chords just give up mid sentence or I just run out of breath/control over my voice quickly. I will now be implementing these tips for my everyday speech and overall vocals. Thank you Victoria!

[@Thewinx-watcher]

I struggle with my voice often because it's so soft, I wanna learn how to strengthen it (possible sing)😁

[@thewindgamer2607]

Strength training: 1.- Descending “e” w light glottel (clicking of the vocal cords, light pulses of the abdomen, no breathiness) 2.- continuous “Ee”, light glottal on 1st note 3.- Continous “Ee”, no light glottal 4.- “Eh;Ah” with light glottal on each note 5.- From “eeh” to “ah”, with light glottal on “eeh” 6.- From “eeh” to “ah” without glottal

[@eirjfkjdjd2759]

The trick is to do these everyday

Thank you for the exercises. I just recorded myself singing for the first time in years and my voice has a whiny tone in it which I think is damage and strain from acid reflux. I think doing your exercises should help! Love your New Yawk accent as well! And the way you know when I did it wrong 🤣

[@JCAM-z9r]

I so love you, Victoria! Thank you for sharing your time and lessons. I’ve lately noticed a ‘warble’ when I sing, partly from the medicine I have to take because of my physical disabilities, and partly because I can’t practice like I used to because of the pain from the aforementioned disabilities. Your lesson today has restored my belief that I *can* practice again a little bit at a time and strengthen my voice again. God Bless you for being such a generous soul.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Yes, you can do it! I’m so happy that you are rekindling the joy of singing. That’s what it’s all about! 🧡

[@lynzistringer]

How do I stop automatically adding fry when my glottal onset?? I don’t know why I do this. Maybe it’s from growing up hearing so many pop singers doing it?? It’s so frustrating, I sound so dumb 😂😂

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I would try starting with a "silent H" or a "B" to your vowel onsets. Also, remember that the exercises in this video are with a light glottal to help with vocal fold closure. You may be overdoing the glottal. We use glottals on words that start with vowels in English but it's never a hard glottal.

[@Theeonlycortez]

You’re the best to do it. ❤️

Hi Victoria! Thanks for these great exercises, i think it will be really handful. But, when i did those throughout the video, after that i felt tired and some discomfort in throat i guess. It's not hurting, just not quiet freely. I wonder if it's normal to feel discomfort doing vocal exercises, because everyone says NO FEELING IN YOUR THROAT

[@Victoria-Victorious]

No, you are likely overdoing it and going into pressing and squeezing.

[@themusketeer9458]

Hi, so when actually singing, do we not close the folds as hard as in these exercices? I feel like when i sing with a more soft closure it sounds way better. And does it depend on the genra? Right now i am singing demons by imagine dragons. Do we manipulate the closure depending on what we sing?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

Yes, the degree of vocal fold closure depends on the sound that you want. The exercises in this video are for efficient (medium) closure, not hard closure. Try experimenting with different degrees of closure and see how it affects your sound!

[@randalltaylor1428]

I used to sing for a living until I stopped about 20 years ago. I've sang lightly around the house since then. I hooked up my old PA system and found that I crack at the slightest chord change. Its upsetting. I sound fine just fine lightly singing but using power to belt out a song im awful. i also have had to use a cpap for the last 15 yrs and have asthma now. any chance i can get my old power voice back.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I would go back to basics and start with my Beginner Playlist. It doesn't mean that you are a beginner, but it is best to go back to the basics after a long hiatus because the voice changes over time. PLAYLIST: BEGINNING SINGERS!

[@chiquipilot]

Hi Victoria! I'm interested in your program. I found your videos yesterday and I'm addicted to them. I have question about my voice type. I've been told I'm soprano, but I don't reach very high notes (could be lack of training but not sure), and feel more comfortable with low tones. When I go to the link, it asks me to choose a voice type. What should I do?

[@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.

[@Lovetolivetruely]

I'm new to your channel. I want to sing but I need to start very basic and possibly work on something to help because I smoke but am stopping to sing. So I need to strengthen and anything you would feel I could do because of the smoking. I need to know where to start.

I've been doing these exercises after I warm up for about a week now, and they seem to leave my voice sounding worn out, full of involuntary fry, and with pitch that becomes yodelly and hard to control. Extra hydration helps, but doesn't completely prevent these symptoms. Is this normal?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

No, this should not happen with any exercise. Without seeing or hearing you, I am assuming that you are overdoing it and squeezing your vocal folds.

[@luizpaganelli_]

I don't really understand exercise 2 and 5. Light glottal only on the first note, but to me it the closure sounds the same for all the notes. Can anybody explain it a bit more?

[@Victoria-Victorious]

First, make sure that you understand what a glottal is. I explain that earlier in the video. Exercises 2 & 5 only had the light glottal on the first note (the onset) and the rest of the notes continued smoothly, no stopping.

[@PeggyfromPorcupine]

light glottal on first note sounded exactly like the no glottal....What am I missing? I even went back and played the 1st and went to the 2nd and they still sounded the same.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

A light glottal is often difficult to hear (as opposed to a heavier glottal) and is used all of the time for expression, style or as a training tool. There is a difference between Exercise 1 and 3 (balanced onset). You can learn more here: Vocal Onset - the FIRST IMPRESSION OF YOUR SINGING! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHWcZKyhobRsr6c

[@PeggyfromPorcupine]

@@Victoria-Victoriousthank you for quick and helpful response.

[@getbackmusicproduction5799]

no gorilla sounds, i like it man !

[@ZoeyAlexandria]

The vocal folds are made of mucosa they can’t get strengthened. Now, if we’re talking about the TA and CT muscles, that’s a different story. Strengthening the arytenoid will help with bringing a more modal production of sound up higher. Though I have to say, love your usage of the “e vowel”. I use the e-vowel with students a lot.

[@Victoria-Victorious]

I did NOT say that we are strengthening the vocal folds. I made that very clear in the beginning of the video. I said we are strengthening coordination.
