VICTORIA'S VICTORIOUS VOCAL EXERCISE PROGRAM - a different kind of singing program! SUPER AFFORDABLE! MORE INFO & ORDER HERE: www.healthyvocaltechnique.com/order-victorias-victorious-vocal-exercise-program/
Victoria, I am not, nor will I ever be (too old in life now) a professional singer. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying your videos and singing along with you. You always make me smile with your down to earth teaching style...I even crack a giggle every now and again. But isn't having fun what singing is all about? I treasure every one of your videos and my singing ability is improving, even if only for myself as I clean my house. Thank you. 🙂
This was fantastic! I like playing with the concept of creating space in the throat without dropping the jaw excessively. Lots of little gems in this video going way beyond vowel placement! Thank you!
Bravissimo! You're such an amazing coach...you give it all in this video.......elsewhere they mention only a tiny trick here and there but you throw the beautiful truth in our face.. no more choking and nosing ..lol!!! .love it!!!
Single best video I've ever heard on vowel modification. Very well explained. I believe you are right. If you feel what's happening in your throat as you sing you can tell when the spoken vowel production starts to interfere with your singing and how gradually adjusting the vowel keeps it easy. Or easier, perhaps. Really worth listening to this one!
I just love Victorias singing lessons. Pure Gold. I need to honestly to stop the video to enjoy and laugh dearly, momentarily. All the best from Hamburg, Germany 💌
Question: The concept about thinking “a bit taller space as the singer goes up in pitch and the vowel modifies itself” … do you have a video on how this is done? Or could you please explain it a little bit more… when thinking a bit taller space does that include raising the larynx? Is there another term for this concept? Thank you so much Victoria for your entertaining way of learning!
I do explain this in a few videos but I don’t know which ones. “Taller space” refers to more yawn, higher soft palate, in the back of the throat, but how much depends on what style you are singing. No, it does not mean higher larynx. I will make a video on this.
I just posted a video on it 2 days ago! 😁. Singing High Notes - MORE SPACE EXPLAINED! th-cam.com/video/phGs8lk0Cwg/w-d-xo.html. I recommend watching the other videos in my playlist on Singing High Notes.
hi it's me advocate sandesh koli from india. I am following your tips to improve my singing. your knowledge with respect to vocals is mind blowing. well I am getting benefited using your techniques and exercises. Thanks mam
Interesting about not distorting vowels.. Tori Amos is one of the only people I can think of that deliberately distorts vowels and has made it a stylistic choice (and is so good she can get away with it). But agree it’s better for most people to stick to just subtle mods. Great video!
I find vowel modification very hard. I'm currently learning mixed voice and do a lot of vowel slides/glides from bottom to top and back to the bottom. So when I do AH and go higher and turn it into an UH for example, I still crack in my break area. Is it also okay to just sing and do slides without vowel modification? If I just practice the AH vowel slide and go higher and keep it like an AH and keep practicing this, I will get a stable mixed voice without vowel modification right???
I cannot tell you what YOU should feel because every singer is different, but I can give you general sensation descriptions. Watch my videos in my playlist on the Passaggio.
Victoria, I am sure that your techniek is very good (and all exercise , I don’t believe , I am Sure and ( this is my opinion). When we practice them correctly because, if you sign because you sign ( mechanic) and don’t use your hart, fillings , emotions then, ( again my opinion) better you stop singing ( you the person how just sign to sign ( mechanic) in place your song must be like a singing story , feel what you sign and make the people behind you listen , not to just a song but a singing story, take them in a journey with your song and make them feel what you sign )because you will never succeed . Sometimes also a professional singer make one or two mistakes when they sign a song but when you listen to the song and you automatically imagine yourself in the story of this song you don’t hear everything, all the notes (or if you hear don’t meter so much, unless it is a Very Very big singing mistake note because this will stop you from dreaming the story from the song . If you like a song very very much you get like chicken skin, this meen that you feel not only listen this song, the person how sing this song use not only his or her voice but also fillings and when they do it write everybody how listen to this song can feel also and enjoy! I say all this because I hope that everyone understand that you, Victoria, are a very beautiful person inside and outside, very beautiful voice, a very good teacher with a lot of experience, make all this exercises to like so easy ( there are also when you do them correctly , it comes with the time because it is impossible to get it in one day or one week), you take all the time necessary to explain very clear everything ( on TH-cam the most of the singing teachers they let you see very little from a lesson, maybe 30-40% ,like this one from today) and if you want to complete the lesson you need to go to the website and pay for it but you finish your lesson free and if people want to buy your exercise program ( they should because you play piano and we can exercise professionally all day and all night one year, if you want with a very little amount of money), I can feel that you do everything with your hart, it is your passion, not just present a new lesson so mechanically ( sing la la la….. and say thank you for your time when the lesson is finished , special because it is free ) , no I can feel that you care for what you do ! I can not understand when somebody says “ I think you are write “ or “ this one is the best exercise “ ! I find all your exercises very good , everyone of it is about something else , what we need to learn to sign correct so , you can not compare them ( this one is better than thy other one) . Sorry that I write a very long reaction but sometimes I get so angry when I read what some other’s people write. I think the we better listen to a professional and let uit the judgment and personal opinion, keep it for yourself because we are the students ( if not look for a better teacher but I don’t think you will find !!!!! ). LOVLEY EXERCISE I THINK IT IS VERY HELPFUL ( LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER EXERCISES FROM YOU) , THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH VICTORIA !!!!!!! I wish you a wonderful day, Annais Claudia
Lol, this is a huge topic to do in 18 minutes and I had to fit it all in. Anyway, if you are a beginner, Vowel Modification is a more advanced topic. You should concentrate on my PLAYLIST for BEGINNING SINGERS, all in 1 place! Beginner Singing Lessons - FOLLOW THESE VIDEOS! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDBD7MGUWCSdC4yhLzxVsEdW.html
Ummm, excuse me?? Did you even watch the whole video or look at the chapters? I sing in different styles at 14:09. This is clearly stated in the TH-cam chapters and in the video description. Have you seen the playlist of my 61 performances (FULL SONGS) in different styles? Your comment makes me laugh.
@@Victoria-Victorious I think you just speak clearly and dynamically, and you use consistent vocabulary for the many aspects of singing. It is wonderful for teaching! The speaking makes the videos very easy for one to follow without missing crucial information, because of the clarity and the emphatic delivery on key words and phrases. Beyond that, the consistency of how techniques, sensations, concepts etc. are described allows one to watch a ton of these videos and build up their own consistent understanding of singing. It has helped me immensely! To me, you are a better teacher than some of the other very talented singers on TH-cam who have flashier videos. Your channel seems to give me the most condensed information that is easily internalized and easily applied.

Thank you for responding Victoia! It seems knowing how to make a ''taller space'' would be a lot easier than figuring out vowel modifications.
Please let me know when you make a video on this technique. Thank you!@@Victoria-Victorious

10:30, that 'Ah' Exercise has the melody of the Elvis song 'i can't stop falling inlove with u' ambi wrong
I don't see any problem at 10:30. Not sure what you mean.
@@Victoria-Victorious Oh no i meant that exercise has the rhythm of the Elvis song. 🙂
I need vocal lesson with you

What is the placement and sensation for vowel modification to transition through the second passaggio?
I cannot tell you what YOU should feel because every singer is different, but I can give you general sensation descriptions. Watch my videos in my playlist on the Passaggio.
Hi im trying to find the video about the shape of tongue when sing vowels and cant find it!
See my PLAYLIST: Tongue Tension While Singing th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCyE4WyZHZzGDSOX6H4-VH2.html
Like Ariana Grande always sing high the word 'Baby' she doesn't sing 'Baybee' she says 'Baaybaay'
Yeah some words I have trouble hitting high
And the And vowel?
how to learn to hear intonation, main tone in acord? im singing good when singer is singing too 😂 but just with instrument, its harder 😂
So the vowel gets modified to its short version?
The vowel gets slightly taller as we modify, as I demo in the video.
Which someone cold have taught me this a decade ago…l
I'm early!

No singing examples eh ... as in a complete song eh, huh, sounds suspect to me .. ya can't teach what you can't do.

@@Victoria-Victorious I apologize, I just checked out a few of your full songs and you sing well.
Are hou allways so dramatic?
Yes, why do you ask?
@@Victoria-Victorious are you acting or is that really you?
