      so nice hearing that learning to sing does take a ton of practice and isn't something perfected in one night. It's kind of intimidating and tough seeing all these amazing celebrity singers on the internet with some even being just 18 and it's easy to forget that though they're young, they've probably had singing lessons since they were 5 and had practiced for years.

    • @OWK000
      @OWK000 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      I think people put too much emphasis on warming up the throat: I find it really helps to warm up my mid-section with dance like excercises and give the throat a rest, so there is much less tension and more power when I start singing.

Hence I've decided to go back to basics. This video of yours really helped a lot in explaining what support really means.
    Great that it popped up in the search results. I'm literally making you my virtual vocal coach!

Your analogies (in all of your videos as well) make learning so fast. I had to comment at least once. Thank you very much for all your teaching.

    God bless you lady. It took me about 40 years to finally hear someone describe support the way I was taught through a book "How To Sing" ( a translation from Italian to English that i deceased Dad bought when he was a young sailor). So many are teaching without understanding, but you are the best I have seen at explaining, and showing so that a beginner can follow you through example. You have my respect added to your list of followers. I sing from Bass to Contra Tenor, and have sang for 10 1/2 hours non stop on a few occasions. I sing pop from the 70s to current, and have 75 originals in various styles. I am now, at 63 about to launch my entertainment career, because the world needs a lot more love and dance.I will review all of your videos as time permits, for you will confirm a lot of my theories I have taught myself. There are a few things I do that might interest you, like warm up without any sound, and then build my range from middle range songs to full scale, increasing my keys about, three semi tones every hour. I also sing a complete verse on one breath. That is where my breathing support comes in as a way of life. It works also in free diving for me, where I stay underwater for long yet comfortable periods.

    Luisa Tetrazzini gives splendid explanation in detail of this subject. She also emphasizes a risk i have myself experienced, the risk that you by overworking these important aspects of support Victoria so excellently lays out , you do not pay attention to the necessary air flow and hold it back.
    Tetrazzini writes: ”….the pressure of the breath must be felt…..From the moment the note is attacked the breath must flow out with it. It is a good idea to feel at first as if one were puffing out the breath.”
    So this idea of consciously letting out air ot or even slowly blowing has many times helped me to improve my own singing, of course in combination with correct support, appogio etc.
    I nearly never see this helpful aspect mentioned by teachers, with exception of Tetrazzini, a once very famous italian opera singer.
    Source: Tetrazzini, Luisa; Caruso, Enrico. Caruso and Tetrazzini on the Art of Singing (p. 2).
    The Kindle edition on amazon is for free!
    Tetrazzinis part of this book i find much better and more helpful than Carusos.

    I am a trained yoga instructor from a long time ago. The breathing and control in the lower ribs (upper abdomen) as well as the lifting up of the chest as if by a string pulling gently upwards were both something I was taught, and not many yoga schools were focusing on that abdominal control. They would all teach to push the tummy out. I hope I understood this correctly. It feel as if I did. Quite eye opening. Thank you so much.

    I'm a woodwind player; sax, clarinet, bassoon. My first revelation was to relax my abdominal muscles when breathing in. That helped. The second revelation, 4 years ago, was exactly - yes - exactly as demonstrated here. I think of it as keeping my rib cage expanded while breathing out through the instrument.
    I then found that revelation numero uno no longer applied; breathing-in was no problem, my body did it for me, and snatching a quick breath was a doddle.
    Of course, all this was not immediate and sometimes I fall back into old habits.

Yes I know the feeling of what it is but its just im still learning I guess lol. I really think that you could've gotten to the point quicker. But overall this video is good and better than most videos that teach breath support. OMG I JUST TRIED THIS TECHNIQUE AND HELPEEEEEEEEEEED

    • @Victoria-Victorious
      @Victoria-Victorious  3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      As I said at the beginning of the video, My objective was to EXPLAIN in DETAIL what breath support is, and then how to do it. I break it all down. A big reason so many singers don't support is because they don't know what it is. You can't do something if you don't know what it is, if you don't understand it. Happy that it is working for you! 🙂

    Victoria, I just discovered you today. This is the second vid I'vee watched. I am already a fan! I love how you explain. It works for me. I play harmonica and desperately want to learn more about singing. I am 65 so not looking for miracles. But I believe improvement, with the right guidance, is possible. Thanks so much!

    As someone who hyperfocuses (ADHD, always) with a tad bit of anxiety and whatnot, I confide in these facts! I feel more confident with my body now. Though, appogio has become an underlaying statement instead of an overrated one. (In hopes that other music teachers will catch on for themselves! How common it is to not hear that fact!)
    Thank you so much for this free lesson! Like forever! Im set for life! It feels like a crime watching this for free!
    My Story (How Uncommon Appogio is):
    As I once had a wonderful teacher, (I still think so, as she was my favourite!) when I was 9-11 years old and then again around 15-16 then finally, 18-19 years old. I recalled all the teachers I have come across with, always stating the 'number one enemy for singers!' Haha, so my body got used to that. It may have also something to do with how easy it is to tell young ones, as I had a hard time understaning the simplist things, especially when I was a kid.
    *Though, this video is pristine and I can picture my younger self, understanding since singing is my interest!* (I am 23 now!)
    Thanks again!

    Hi Victoria! I've been watching you're videos for a year now and I'm gonna be honest, you have help me improve my voice!! Puberty hitted my voice hard 3 years ago and I lost my singing voice and ngl I sounded really nasal, unhealthy, raspy and many more, but then I decided to teach my self how to sing again last year and most of the vocal coach/youtubers that I have watched haven't helped me at all (which some of their lessons are kinda complicated for me to understand) but then 1 day I saw one of your videos and it really helped me a lot! The way you teach is really clean and its really easy to understand, right now my voice is actually getting better and I think its above average! The only things that I need to practice right now is breath support, how to sing clean cause sometimes when I sing I have this really ugly tone its like a voice crack but it wasn't (I've been trying to find a video about it but I dont know what its called like, and lastly I need to fix the way I pronounce some words cause its like I'm eating the words that I am saying, but other than that you are the best vocal coach that I ever know and I'm really thankful that I've known and saw your videos :))

    I LOVE that you EXPLAIN things! Bc you're so right, if we don't understand WHY, we won't do it. At least I won't.
    Now I am the type of singer you described who sounds great when singing lullabies, lol. And I can easily do opera. So I've only learned to sound powerful when I'm singing high. I am working hard at strengthening my lower register, and so that I can be as versatile as you are and sing pop with some edge if I want to, which I deeply want to! I've been wondering if I should just stop trying to develop this and just accept what type of voice I've been given, but something inside me is a rebel and I refuse to believe that's all I can be.
    My current voice teacher is great, but she does not teach me much about breath support. Currently she is teaching me "twang" to help me project at lower notes, and to help smooth over my vocal breaks. I'm having a hell of a time mastering that...So ty again for this video, giving examples of when we naturally feel that support, and all your others. I will incorporate this feeling into my future practice. 💗

    I have watched and worked with several of your videos off and on for the past few weeks. Usually an E is as high as I feel safe singing on stage. After following and practicing along with you on this one, I let loose with a high note stone cold and not warmed up. I sang the note reasonably relaxed. It sounded good. I checked on the keyboard and discovered I was singing a G!
    I will continue practicing to your videos as I get time. Thank you very much.
