@@Victoria-Victorious Please send me a reply, so I can easily find this video, because its the question I really want the answer to. I have to go just now.
@@Victoria-Victorious Okay thank you. I wonder if rich singers have ever had their larynx surgically stretched to increase their vocal octave range without ever again having to to do vocal exercises. And NO! I do NOT want that done to me!
the slow scale!! fantastic tip. I've been doing marchesi exercises and have a tendency to want to go as fast as possible but I sensed that its when going slowly that you can perfect them.
I have been singing as long as I can remember but never ever took singing lessons. I recently started singing Karaoke at a local restaurant for fun. I’ve become somewhat of a hit but I did not understand why I was unable to reach what I think is my full potential. Being an asthmatic, I thought maybe my breathing problem was the issue. So I decided to look into vocal coaching on you tube and came across this video. And let me tell you, one session alone helped me so much. You are amazing in your craft and I look forward to continuing these exercises and mastering these techniques. I can’t thank you enough! And can’t wait to watch all your videos!
This is a game changer for me. I've always had a pretty good, strong voice, including in the head tone, but struggled in that blended range. Now I know why. I especially liked the advice to live in that passaggio range for a long time. I found all the exercises to be very helpful. Thank you Ms. Victoria! BTW, you (and your accent) crack me up. I love this serious subject being taught in a light-hearted, fun way.
I want to practice all day long🤗 Thank you Victoria! I will work with it every single day. Muscle memory is soooo important (to get rid of old and bad habits)

Just sharing, The siren vocal exercise is actually pretty accurate, I've been doing that for many months and I've seen many TH-cam videos that recommends siren vocal exercise. Also thank you for sharing us an incredible technique for our singing again Teacher Victoria 💛
I noticed two 'thumbs down' ratings for this video. Wonder what they didn't like. I thought it was very good. Tenors live in the passaggio (as opposed to passing thru on the way to other notes) and I'm grateful for all the help I can get.
Eh, that is typical for TH-cam and is to be expected. I am fully confident in what I teach after 30 successful years of teaching beginning through advanced level singers in many styles. My students get roles, gigs, and win competitions regularly.
The siren works for me,I recorded my singing,I go from to low to mix voice without even notice.the exercises ex the humming works,practice,practice does it.
I do love your lessons Victoria! You make me laugh! I have been able to get higher notes from the siren exercises, which I do while driving (not the throwing and bending, obvs). It really works to loosen everything up, and get out of your mind. We are singing Sprig of Thyme (arr Rutter) and there are a few top notes for altos in there. So, I shall be going through all the lessons again. Thank you so much for everything you do.
I'm so happy that your channel are growing rooting for your success ma'am 😊 thank you for sharing your knowledge about music especially these techniques ❤️❤️
Another fantastic enjoyable knowledge filled content. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I had no previous knowledge of the voice or music. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. The world is a better place because of people like you. Take care.
Ma’am, I want to make my mixed voice a little softer and more heady, because it’s too chesty and loud, it sounds like I’m screaming and I want a pleasant, lighter texture but a sound that still has presence but not too airy. Do you have any video for that? Also, thank you so much for making such great videos they help me a lot to improve my technique you’re the best vocal teacher on youtube. You inspire me a lot to be like you.❤️
It sounds like you are singing with too much vocal weight and thickness. This is part of mastering mixed voice, both chest mix and head mix. Here is my playlist: Mixed Voice Made Easy! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html
Istg my voice probably takes up the range of several voice types, yes that includes female ranges- My chest voice goes from E2-C4, but then my head voice somehow can go up to C6 relatively consistently, sometimes up to E6 on a good day. Keep in mind that this isn’t all my comfortable range, this is just what my voice can do in general. I need to work on my chest voice since somehow at the moment my head voice is more powerful than my chest voice- Not sure how normal this is. My voice isn’t fully developed yet though, so maybe it’ll even out a bit. Who knows
Thx... I figured I am a bass... but it was like... I always used a mix in talking and then I sang badly like: heaaad, miiix, oh... here I jump from mid to notes in the contra octave or C2 or D2 or something and a huuuge gap in the voice XD
Great video. And can you please tell me how to fix pulled chest voice. I have tried thousands of mix voice exercise but nothing worked for me.when I sing i feel like I'm straining my voice and sometimes it hurts It would be great if you make a video on pulled chest voice
I have lots of videos on this. It sounds like you need to work on your mixed voice, especially chest mix or blend. PLAYLIST: Mixed Voice Made Easy! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html

Dear Victoria! Your videos are awesome! Thanks for this content. It really helps me a lot. I have one question for you. When i sing solo only then i can work with my voice but when i sing in choir and THEN i have to sing solo... that's really problematic. With choir i have no control over my technique and i will get "stuck" very easily. Do you have any advice or exercise for "cooling" my voice and my vocal chords down? For example if i have 5 minutes between choir and solo singing.
Great content ... ❤️ ... Usually it is difficult to sing in minor keys compared to major that energy breakdown in minor keys is pretty hard to maintain idk y ... I can sing without straining from g#3 to F or F#4 now idk what to do 😀 youtube guidance is damn confusing
This all depends on what kind of sound you want. I have videos on this. You can start here: Soft Palate and Singing - DO I LIFT THE SOFT PALATE OR NOT? th-cam.com/video/pUySHAa6Isk/w-d-xo.html
It sounds like you have not worked on your mixed voice enough, specifically chest mix. You cannot take the full weight of your speaking voice all the way up your range without cracking or flipping into falsetto. Here is my playlist: Mixed Voice Made Easy! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html
This is where practice comes in - over and over again until you are 100% secure in your part. Then try a section of the song with the other person or practice with a recording of both parts. ☺️
Without hearing you, it sounds like you have not figured out how to mix or blend, and also don’t know what at do through the Vocal Bridge or Passaggio. See my playlists on those topics. I have tons of videos on this.
Ah im 15 yrs of age , had puberty . My head voice is soooo hard to come out yet, my falsetto is so flexible . Whats my problem here ? i tried breath support , vocal closure and everything else i can but hardly works : ((
I want to share: When I was in my 20's I was singing in the community choir at my college and I noticed that I could sing 4 octaves without breaks. This was natural as I had no vocal training at that point. Director put me in the 2nd tenors (don't know why) and he use to lament about the soprano in the tenor section (LOL!). I confessed to him later in life that it was me. But given that I got a lot of ridicule back then (in the 80's) for sounding like a girl, I pretty much stopped singing publicly for about 25 years. It was in 2007, just after Pavarotti died, that I had a vision of him telling me why wasn't I singing. I figured that maybe I was suppose to sing opera. Not that good at it because all I could sing was up to Mid C. I was devastated that I lost so much of my range. I listened to Philip Jaroussky (countertenor) and said there is the voice I lost. I wanted to sing like him and other CTs out there. I have managed to sing in my upper ranges again but I still have issues (probably mental blocks at this point) with transition as my chest and head seem to overlap. Or maybe it is my perception as I never heard the term mix until recently in the past few years. ----- anyway getting back to your video I feel you are correct on all counts. I wish I could feel these sensations. Just can't. Maybe there is some nerve damage since I am a diabetic. Also I don't have check bones and to fabricate that look I have to add tension to my face. What does one do when they can't stand their chest voice!? I tend to sing only in head/mix voice as I cannot stand my chest voice.

Hi Victoria, do you have any private lessons? I'm super interested in your teaching methods.
I have a long waitlist for private lessons but you can send me a note through my website.
Dear Victoria! Your videos are awesome! Thanks for this content. It really helps me a lot.

With choir i have no control over my technique and i will get "stuck" very easily. Do you have any advice or exercise for "cooling" my voice and my vocal chords down? For example if i have 5 minutes between choir and solo singing.
This is good, though if you could perhaps give some examples around male voice problem regions…
At 7:44 I discuss the 2 most common problem areas - the same places for male and female voices, and then how to correct in the exercises.
The 2 octave scale challenging but i knew it! But my chest blend and head blend is weaker and not thick how will i do Ms. Victoria??
