Fellow singing teacher here and I wanted to give a quick endorsement of this content for anyone scrolling the comments to see if this is good information. It's good information. These exercises are safe to use and the concepts are legit. One cannot give the entire story/all the corner cases in a 13 minute video but this is more than enough to 99% of folks started. Great stuff.
Thank you for saying this. In my frenzy to polish some challenging high notes for an upcoming performance, I did some exercises I found from someone else, won't say who. It wrecked my voice for a day. One day of practice I needed desperately. After Victoria's exercises I feel relaxed, and ready to go. No pain or hoarseness at all! She's great!
She is one of my vocal mentors including my wife and Choir members. Attended her Master Classes and private coaching. Very effective vocal techniques that we still use up to this time. Thanks Ms Victoria. God Bless you more!
You are such an inspiration, Victoria! I can't believe that you are offering this technical advice for FREE! Your videos are engaging and expertly delivered!
"I like to give you specific technical advice" -- you do SUCH a great job of it, better than any other channel I've found! I can't even tell you how much I appreciate your videos! Thank you again!
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to singing and was scared of trying to sing higher notes even though I am a girl. When I was a kid I was made fun of by my sister-in-law when I was singing some pop song for fun. I have never been comfortable with trying to sing since and when I tried to sing higher in private, it would become a whisper and I always felt my throat feeling strained. Years later I stumbled upon this channel through the finding true voice video and for the first time ever today I hit a high note after this video without that straining feeling. I seriously almost cried because I didn't think it would be possible. I still have a long way to go but I'll never forget this moment. Now I just need to figure out how to remember lyrics efficiently, train my true voice and show them up with a song at my wedding then I can forget about that childhood trauma. Anyway, thanks for the great content!!!
Susbcribed for the quality singing lessons of course but I'm secretly wishing you would explain how the hell you studied for 41 years if you look 40 years old.
I’ve watched lots of your videos and have really appreciated all your great suggestions. They’ve been so helpful. Thanks so much for kindly sharing your experience Victoria!
You are spectacular! I am working on Victoria's Victorious Vocal Exercise Program and between those exercises, some added videos and these, I am watching my voice change! It's crazy! I've been struggling with some high notes on a piece I'm performing in just a few weeks, and I'm already there! Polished. I can't believe how fast Victoria's exercises work! She is Brilliant!
Victoria I've been watching your videos from time to time and I wondered what advice you can give me on how to improve the power in my voice, I use to be able to sing effortlessly when singing mariachi music and then I stopped singing for a while and I struggled now trying to get where I use to be, any feedback would be greatly appreciated
HI Victoria, I just discovered your videos and I am totally enjoying it. I am a beginner and love singing esp. for my hymns. You are just fantastic and I thank you so much for sharing. Joan L
Welcome to my channel, Joan! Make sure to follow my Beginner's Playlist! Beginner Singing Lessons - FOLLOW THESE VIDEOS! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDBD7MGUWCSdC4yhLzxVsEdW.html
You are really one Very Good Mentor in Singing. I really learn a lot. You teach it in a very simple way that I could understand everything you said. You are also very entertaining. Very interesting to listen too while teaching... ❤😊
thanks Victoria- Love you. I'm a baritone trying to hit a G4. ben with your program March 4. Love every bit of it. I want to get vibrato on that note and this just send me into oblivion. Im gonna work on it all week. Peace baby.
I took a lot of ideas from TH-cam videos (many of them yours) and devised a method that is mostly a head fake, but appears to be working for me for the moment. One thing I found helped me not tense on high notes is altering how I visualize them. It is recent, so I don't know how long the trick will work, but I have started visualizing notes like they were on a keyboard below me, with low notes close, high notes in the distance. This also changes how I gesture (Indian classical tends to have a lot of notes going on pretty fast, so visualizing and gesturing at them sort of helps nail the tune) - instead of gesturing between chest and face, I now gesture more like close to chest and arm extending forward from chest. Same notes, it is a head fake and my throat no longer gets tight or at least I don't sense tightness as of now. With that, everything seems to be clicking into place. Vowels, closure, lengthening neck, everything. Lived with music even if not trained, so the singing is there even if not mastery, it was the tenseness that was preventing it from sounding good or happening at all at high notes. Fast, complex notes wholesale (Indian classical tends to do that) at high pitch with tense throat and an already low pitched voice is basically a recipe for a fried voice, so I could learn a song by pushing through and then get there only to discover even I don't want to hear it in the voice I had remaining. lol Too early to say how long it lasts or how well it works, since the proof of this pudding will be in the singing improvements lasting or growing... my plan is to rehearse the hell out of it and make it a habit while it lasts, so even if the trick stops working, I will have made gains on not tensing up anyway. The feeling of climbing or reaching high with notes is replaced more with a feeling of "how far can you throw/slide this ball with your voice?" for lack of a better description. For parts that are hard for me, I've started imagining that it is my hand gestures that will get me there and let my arm tense a bit, which seems to work to fool the throat into thinking it doesn't have to. Edited to add: For the high parts that I find hard, I may even extend gestures in a slightly downward angle, so when the arm tenses to spare the throat, it is almost like I'm pushing down with my hand to get my voice up. lol. Has happened only once so far but was damn funny.
So great. We have to watch these videos over and over again to get used to the new wisdom and apply it.I tend to rush through videos and information. Not helpful 🙄We have to become very familiar with all the facts.Patience will pay off eventually. Thanks Victoria wisdom 👍🎤😇
Thank you! I will definitely try the dropping the jaw and rounded mouth position and also the taller throat space. I think if you have really good technique, you can maintain some vocal weight and the high notes will still sound pleasant and they will be powerful, although I know the power comes from the support. But some great vocalists like Kelly Clarkson for example she keeps a lot of vocal weight even in her high notes like listen to her F5 I think in her cover of Heavy in My Arms it carried so much vocal weight but it still sounded amazing. But I will try the thinning technique as well, it does make sense.
A lot of what you hear as vocal weight in high notes is actually achieved with resonance and firmer vocal fold closure (besides breath support)! Allowing the vocal folds to stretch and thin is not about sounding thin. Good resonance will make the tone fatter and more powerful. See my playlist on Resonance. ☺️
Thanks for lovely video. I have a specific question. I've never had problem with yelling while approaching high notes and I always do it so my body feels comfortable. But, since I perform with live band and use a lot of head voice I do sometimes find that other instruments can be louder than my voice. Do you have any lesson on how to increase your volume in a healthy way while you're in upper register? Thanks. 🤩
I love these videos ! I used to sing but had so many mixed techniques from musical theatre groups. I stopped singing when my anorexia got bad and I just can't get it back. How can you stop it being Nasal ?
No. A forward tongue is not the same thing. We do want to sing with the natural arch in the tongue, higher on some vowels than others. Raising the back of the tongue too much lifts the larynx which is fine if that is the sound you want. However, that would not be your default position.
I follow your lessons, they are awesome. I have a question though, to this lesson. Isn't example #3 and #5 a contradiction? Is it possible to both make more throat space and lift my tongue forward? Grateful to hear from you. Greetings!
This is an excellent question, Eli and singers often misunderstand this! A forward tongue (with the natural "tongue hump") opens and frees up the back of the throat, whereas pushing the tongue down creates a lot of tension at the root of the tongue (which is in your neck) and closes the throat space.
Without hearing you, I am assuming that you are pushing up too much vocal weight and not allowing the vocal folds to thin out. Sirens would probably help you out a lot, going from your low voice all the way up to falsetto. Watch my video "Find & Develop Your True Voice! Victoria's FORMULA!" th-cam.com/video/ROEaIBcsc9k/w-d-xo.html. I also have 3 videos on Mixed Voice that should help. I would start with the first one, "End the Mixed Voice Confusion!" th-cam.com/video/4WLfBSTYrW4/w-d-xo.html
@@Victoria-Victorious Alright, cheers! I know it takes practice and dedication etc, but do you have a rough estimation if how long it takes to increase your range? Just so I have some perspective.
Oh, gee, that is too hard to answer because everyone is different! I will say that if your approach has not been right, sometimes just a little tweaking can open up your voice right on the spot. I've had it happen many times with new students, and often through sirens, and they become stunned at the part of their voice that they never felt before. Just work on stretching little by little, starting from middle voice, and following the videos that I linked above. I hope to hear a good progress report!
I don't have videos specifically on how to sing quietly through the passaggio, but I do have lots of videos on how not to push through the passaggio. You can start here: How to Sing Quietly with Intensity! Be a real artist! th-cam.com/video/IDii_U40AvE/w-d-xo.html. Passaggio videos are in this playlist: Mixed Voice Made Easy! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html
Victoria, can you give any tips to me? I've lost some of my falsetto I haven't visited the doctor about it. I've lost my falsetto for about 4 years now. I'm just trying to sing differently at the moment
I would schedule an appointment with an ENT doctor just to make sure that your vocal folds are healthy. Once cleared to sing, I have a video on how to strengthen head voice, but first you must make sure that you are not forcing.

I got to say, Madame✨ , Perfect Channel name, you are exactly what I needed for Healthy Approach to Singing.🥰Much Love from 🇻🇺 Vanuatu South Pacific ❤️
Hi. I have a question, Victoria. I've been studying voice with a voice coach for 6+ years and I don't feel I'm getting very far so I'm looking for someone else to help me. I'm told that I have a contralto voice but I don't see where you list contralto as an option in the courses you offer. What should I choose?
My voice is really fluty when I do the high notes and when I try to add more power and make it sound fuller everything falls apart, what should I review?
I wish i could afford classes with you even though your videos have helped. But at 75 years old its probably too late and pointless. However thank you.
I can hit a high notes I started singing in 2022 and became better being train by a professional he singing for 50 years he’s 66 but I want to get better Victoria can u help me I’m practicing hard I want to hit high notes
you have a lot of viewers from hall the world like me from Arabic country so please to all of us understand all what are you saying well can you add the translate to your channel like Arabic please i want to learn more and more and good from you thank you
You might be taking it too high right now. Try not going so high until you are more comfortable and don't just shout your way up. Go to my Beginner Playlist where we do lots of sirens.
This is common and It sounds like you just need to build strength in your head voice. Here are my 2 videos that should help. How to Strengthen Head Voice - for ALL Voice Types! th-cam.com/video/jcO0RaTZWZ4/w-d-xo.html. Fix Breathy Singing Voice! NO MORE WEAK SINGING! th-cam.com/video/OZotnvONBi8/w-d-xo.html
More arch of the soft palate, a bit more yawn. See my PLAYLIST on High Notes: Singing High Notes - EASIER, SOLID & MORE EXCITING! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDDcjU4lWBKrhNlR1o2hCFmM.html Stop straining on high notes!
I stated to only drop the jaw to the degree that it is comfortable. If that opening is comfortable for them, great. You need to find what works in your own voice.
This could be an entire college semester course. This video is already 13 minutes and teaches you the most important steps. You can’t pack everything in 1 video. I do more than enough explaining. Watch the many videos I have in my playlist on Better High Notes. If you need help with consonants, see my video on consonants.

My voice is really fluty when I do the high notes and when I try to add more power and make it sound fuller everything falls apart, what should I review?
See my playlists on How to Sing With More Power and also on Strengthen & Master YOur Head Voice.
I wish i could afford classes with you even though your videos have helped. But at 75 years old its probably too late and pointless. However thank you.
No way! I have had students start in their eighties! TOO OLD TO SING? Too Old to Start? th-cam.com/video/-WKQ2WxXus4/w-d-xo.html

I cannot even sing the siren.It cracks when I get up there.What the heck?
You might be taking it too high right now. Try not going so high until you are more comfortable and don't just shout your way up. Go to my Beginner Playlist where we do lots of sirens.
My high notes resonates in nose.Is it bad?
It depends on what kind of sound you want. Watch my video on Nasal Singing or Nasal Resonance.
Why when I get to high notes my voice sounds so breathy?
This is common and It sounds like you just need to build strength in your head voice. Here are my 2 videos that should help. How to Strengthen Head Voice - for ALL Voice Types! th-cam.com/video/jcO0RaTZWZ4/w-d-xo.html. Fix Breathy Singing Voice! NO MORE WEAK SINGING! th-cam.com/video/OZotnvONBi8/w-d-xo.html
I don't understand the taller throat space
More arch of the soft palate, a bit more yawn. See my PLAYLIST on High Notes: Singing High Notes - EASIER, SOLID & MORE EXCITING! th-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDDcjU4lWBKrhNlR1o2hCFmM.html
Stop straining on high notes!
But singers like Adele, Celine Dion, etc. draw the jaw quite open downwards when singing high notes...
I stated to only drop the jaw to the degree that it is comfortable. If that opening is comfortable for them, great. You need to find what works in your own voice.
10:54 poor Karl Childers and Bubba Gump - big gums = not good high notes😩
You only sing vowels. Please sing the words and then explain
This could be an entire college semester course. This video is already 13 minutes and teaches you the most important steps. You can’t pack everything in 1 video. I do more than enough explaining. Watch the many videos I have in my playlist on Better High Notes. If you need help with consonants, see my video on consonants.
