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/
I took singing lessons at 16. After one lesson, the teacher told me to forget it. I know I don’t have a special voice, but wanted to do the best with what I had. I had been excepted in choir in Highschool so I could sing. I figure if Willie Nelson can do it so can I. Just want to be confident. Trying again, at 65. Thanks for your video.
I’m 50 and I’d love to be able to sing with a bar band, for fun. My voice is decent, but needs refinement. This and playing the violin are both on my bucket list.
I took lessons in my 30s from a woman who was a firemen member out the Tabernacle Choir and she told me she preferred to work with ppl in their 30s because the voice is set. That is, set for a number of years until you get older and the voice changes again
Everyone can sing.....lol sometimes it take some people longer....(specifically just pointing out me 😂) but I'm here because I think I've found my calling. Lol wasn't born to be loud for nothing
Unlike the majority of the other people here, I am genuinely a horrible singer. When I try to sing/hum I literally can’t get the air out, and if I do, I sound like a dying donkey. This isn’t to vent or anything like that, just to say that I started at a horrible singing quality. I’m still not good, far from decent, really, but your videos have helped so much. I can actually get the air out now. It’s almost as easy as talking. I am very motivated and will come back every day until I have my dream voice! Thank you so much
Breathing in into the the diaphragm and working on that part of the body supports singing. Deeply breathing in, like those doodle sack instruments the amount of controlled air makes the tone and the pressure on the air in the instrument. The voice opens in it's different ranges, that is at least what I had learned. Breathing is essential. A Voice should never be pressured in any way, it hurts her.
I was literally just telling my 13yo daughter that your personality is so very different than other people who do videos of this nature, well, ones that I’ve watched anyway. I watched one in which the instructor had an incredible voice but she spoke sort of sarcastically about common pitfalls when you’re singing-it was somewhat discouraging. I just started playing ukulele and I’d love to put the vocals with it. You have just truly inspired me to feel comfortable doing it. You’re right about being afraid to free the voice as a beginner-yes. Thank you for your humble and calm demeanor. You may not know how much it’s appreciated. I’m going to see what you offer in the way of paid-for things because I’d love your instruction while at the same supporting such a wonderful human. Sincerest thanks from a very, very beginner. ❤️✨🙂
I’m 75 and had resigned myself to a lost singing voice. I may not have the range and strength of my 16 year old voice, or even my 30 year old voice, but by golly, I have hope now. Thank you, Victoria!
I get it my voice has started to become more Mezzo with age which is expected I always straddled in between Soproano and Mezzo because my range is rare at over 5 octaves.
I feel like i have been finally breaking through with Victoria's techniques. its very reassuring to see that you, someone who i admire, also had a good experience with her lessons! Now if i could just find a video with a proper way to play "aint got a dollar" on guitar. Your Music is amazing, and im looking forward to your future art! Hope to see a show in western Michigan some time in the future! Stay golden PonyBoy!
I've watched various videos from vocal coaches, and I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but Victoria is the only person that's made me feel comfortable in my choice to learn to sing. Thank you, Victoria!
I just found her and I’m reading through the comments. THIS-what you said-YES! I wonder if she knows it. I just commented on another part of the thread of this video on this very thing. She’s quite different than any other vocal coaches I’ve seen on UA-cam. What a gem.
ive struggled many years to find teachers who are fun but still not scared to be blunt and passionate. Victoria is perfect, I LOVE what she said about those cookie cutter singers on the voice and youtube. They deliver but feels sooo contrived. Victoria has a true ear and heart for music!
I’ve always loved to sing but never felt very confident about my voice or had any one-on-one training (just a few things I picked up in school choirs here and there). Now I’m on the worship team at my church and I want to develop my voice and confidence enough to do a solo sometime. Your videos are a game changer and I can’t believe how much just this one video helped my sound!
Wow. My story is exactly the same. I love singing, but never felt confident enough to believe that I could do it. About 4 months ago, I also joined my worship team at church. Like you, I also want to also develop my voice, build up my confidence and just focus on singing to God. When I visualize singing to God, I no longer feel scared, I just want Him to be pleased. But I still need work on believing in myself. I feel like it's a talent he wants me to grow and perfect. So we're on our way. Just remember who you're singing for and He will give you what you need or direct you to where you need to be. You got this!

I sat here for 5 minutes, followed your instructions (your Formula) and for the first time ever in my life ( I'm 55) I heard my true voice!!!!!! I'm shocked!!!! For the first time I'm not feeling a strain, and I can reach my most comfortable highest range without that strain. My throat feels that openness you talk about. Lady you are blessed! Thank you so much. Thanks for sharing.

I'd normally say "im late" because you posted this a year ago. But, because I really am interested in singing I'm not late, I just discovered my passion on my time. Thank you truly.
I have been singing since I could talk but I stopped for awhile and your channel is helping me with my singing I’m 14 and want to sing and song write. Because music is how I express myself.
I’ve sung for years, but COVID ruined my singing voice. I’m hopeful this will help me to recover and be able to perform again. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you, Victoria. After only half a dozen videos, my voice is me! I can hear the difference. It's expressing me. I can feel the difference! I am so much more relaxed and my singing voice is way more pleasant!
I feel so motivated... I wanna learn to love my voice ...i feel like it's awful even though people say i can sing because of that negative mindset and other things hence I neglected my voice but i believe after this I'll grow to love it and develop .. Thank you so much ❤️ you teach well... it's so exciting and builds confidence
I totally relate to you...its difficult to get rid of the negative thoughts. I really hope that i'll put them aside one day ,and deeply feel every word i sing without thinking about it or feeling anxious that something might go wrong..I hope that you have loved your voice by now, and if you haven't , just know that i am cheering for you!
For someone to impart this much technique and understanding through a video alone is the mark of a gifted teacher. Thank you for all you give us! Your passion for this art shines through every time.
I'm so glad I found your beginner's playlist! I'm already noticing that it's getting easier for me to sing, and I'm excited to be making progress! Thanks for these lessons :D

I’ve been practicing singing the hymns at church.🤣I was told a few times that I have a beautiful voice 😇I think I have a deep voice for a woman, even as a child. Thank you for your tips and advice. Singing is fun, we need more fun these days.🥰
To find your natural singing voice, you need to sing songs in the exact some voice you speak with, which doesn't mean it should sound the same... But what many a singer who starts out misunderstands is you need to sing with the same relaxation as if you were speaking, you don't have to strain yourself to speak normally do you, so starting by speaking the words to a song first (in tune and on key obviously) will help you reach your natural singing voice in a relaxed way, without damaging your voice from the outset by trying different tembres or techniques you don't know how to do properly.
Makes a lot of sense. When I’m relaxed and absent mindedly singing a tune I heard, it sounds so much better than when I’m in the mindset of actually trying to sing cause then I can feel the strain. The problem is I don’t know how to train my body to not those muscles and I guess that is what vocal training is all about.lol
So I’m alto, which means I have a naturally deep toned voice. This was so helpful to me because I almost gave up on singing because I was struggling finding balance and variety on my voice . I know my voice is very powerful but being able to control that power by altering in different ways is my goals. I definitely seeing this being my remedy ❤
Can't figure out why more teachers never cover open throat, but it doesn't matter anymore, since you did. And you get right to every other point as well. And you make it fun! Looking forward to more of your videos.
Sometimes I think I sound weird. I am soulful and have a strong old gospel sound which is strange because I never listened to music that sounds like me. I sort of sound like a trumpet when I do exercises on your video. I have been told I have a unique voice so you just gave me confidence to embrace my uniqueness.
I'm a beginner singer and have been watching a bunch of videos searching for an instructor like you!! You are the first instructor who has given me the tools to actually sound good!!!
I so appreciate that you made this a real demonstration and practice lesson and not another hook video to go on and on about why I should sign up for a service. Bless you and thank you!
Miss Victoria I have taken numerous years of vocal studies and have sung for many years supplementing my income by singing semi professionally. I still sing along with you to keep in voice. I love your technique. I have made my best money singing for weddings and receptions.... Blessings dear Lady... Rick
You are an angel, Victoria 💕 this is now my second video I’ve watched. And I can honestly say I cried singing because I feel like I was so free signing.Thank you so much. Will definitely taking some lessons from you SOON!
I have been practicing to your lessons but three days, and have learned a lot. To the point where I am sometimes able to feel the buzz, open my throat, project my voice to the front and back all at once - and importantly, sing in a much more relaxed manner throughout the entire range of one of my own songs in a way that was not possible before. I plan to keep after your valuable lessons. I really appreciate the tab at the top left of the screen with the list of the vocal exercises. This makes it easy for me to follow your suggested order of instruction as well as to find videos focussed on specialized areas of instruction. You really know how to effectively convey your extensive and deep knowledge such that a person can learn quickly. Thank you very much.
It is interesting I always come across the perfect video of yours with the exact message and training tools I need. When I watched this video, I realized I was parroting other people's voices. I look forward to practicing these tips and finding my voice instead of doing voice mimicry. I have to say your tips are so excellent because I get something out of them and can feel and hear the change immediately. Many thanks! I love the passion you bring to all of your videos.
Omg. I listed to two of your videos on my way home from work and my singing is already better! I'm so much more aware of my voice and its nuances. I can't wait to practice and learn more! Thank you for this entire series!! 🥰
I agree!! I cannot stand it when so many singers are sounding alike or trying to copy someone's style. Just be their wonderful self and sing in their own voice, not in someone else's.
This is the first video I've watched of yours. I'm in my 50's and have ALWAYS wanted to be able to sing but was too embarrassed to even go for singing lessons because of how bad I thought my voice was. I am in shock right now. I did this tutorial along with you, and I cannot believe what came out of my mouth! For the first time ever, I feel like I can actually sing. I am so excited to keep practicing and learning! Thank you!!!!!!

Victoria is a true professionals professional, in every sense of the word, from any I have seen on video, her explanatory formula is unique & effortless. Plus she is a sweet Lady, whom I would love (as a singer) to have her as my tutor, I could imagine Victoria would make a crow sing.
I really appreciate that you have taken pains to answer almost all comments.Your dedication is outstanding and I can see that even after gaining so much experience you still have a passion to keep on learning about your subject of voice tecniques. I have not come across any negative comments. I am a humble student of yours and sincerely wish to learn a lot from you.
Good singing involves Victoria's training!!!! I never thought I would be able to sing! But I have to say, singing in Arabic is very different from singing in English. I can achieve a vibrato much easier while singing Arabic songs, maybe because it's my mother tongue. I don't really know. But seriously, I got much better at singing because of your coaching. So thank you very much for that :)
I'm an older man, been playing sax and other woodwinds my entire life and now that I have more free time to pursue musical adventures, I want to sing. I'm OK, can carry a tune, sing on pitch and all, but I don't feel I'm able to project and really sing the way I think I can. I feel as though I may have stumbled on to the magic key here with you, Victoria. I found Frank Sinatra's book, 'Tips On Popular Singing' and have been casually trying to implement and adopt the ideas presented, but I think this short video of yours has been more valuable to me in terms of discovering who I might be as a singer. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and providing a very clear and simple method to help me find my real voice!!
Thank you for this beautiful lesson! I have been an instrumentalist for over 40 years, and this lesson is so valuable when looking for my own style. :)
I'm making my way through your lessons. Recently I became aware that my vocal range has decreased a lot from high school and I probably am not using proper technique to protect my voice. Than you so much for these leasons Victoria.
Oh man, no other voice teacher on UA-cam has explained it so clearly and concisely. Was instantly able to project my voice better and with less effort. Thank you so much for your videos, will definitely be looking at more!
Wow, I tried these tips, and I was amazed. Most of the other videos on UA-cam didn't help me at all. Happy to say your teaching is very helpful and gets immediate results, thanks so much!
Hi Victoria, I never felt the need to comment to anything anywhere on these social meds, until now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been convincing my friends that everybody can sing, even when I didn't know how to myself. I guess I was bluffing. Anyway, I found mine I think. Thank you, for helping me finding it.
I am so happy i came across your channel! I never really learned how to sing. My high school music teacher ran a choir and asked me to join, but I wasn't confident enough to sing around people. She was awesome. I wish I had joined, I could have learned so much from her. So, here I am 40 odd years later, trying again. Thank you!❤
you are amazing!! only youtubed coach that made me feel like i was capable of singing even when i sound awful right now. we need more people like you!! thank you❤️❤️
I have been practicing these vowels,and I can hear the changes in the songs,I put them to thumbs us.I am following through with all the practices you are so correct.Thank you for your time
Even thought this video is 4 years old I still want to say thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out my voice, but after watching this video I became so much more confident!! ❤❤❤❤
That helps so much. I was always afraid to hit certain notes thinking that I couldn't but it was because my throat was so tight and constricted blocking the sound. I have extreme power even in high notes in chest voice when I just open my throat. It's amazing. Thank you
I love singing. It makes me happy. I enjoy it so much and it is so therapeutic for me. I was looking for this kind of tutorial for a long time. It is very helpful and fun. Great tips Victoria 👍 Merci,🙏

Hi Victoria, I never usually comment on videos, but I had to for this one. Your video helped me get over a huge barrier that was keeping me stuck for the longest time. I've always been able to support the voice, but I knew nothing about opening the throat. This really helped me to do that and now I can reach notes that I've never been able to before. Thank you so much for this video. Keep up the amazing work :)
I agree with what you are saying - so many popular singers today are all sounding the same, as they seem to be copying the same artists. I think it's all on-purpose, but I would really enjoy hearing some originality!
This is my first time "here" - I have never taken any voice lessons though I come from a very musical family ~ I am just gobsmacked I'd never learned any of these things about voice training & pretty much gave up singing when my mother told me I was "tone deaf" - funny though, I can spot talent with my eyes tied behind my back! LOL Excellent intro - thank you!
Thank you for this video. I came here following your message on reddit and have watched about 5 different videos of yours so far, each of them look useful, though after watching the beginner singing lesson video, I think this one is the best I've seen. I can sort of feel more of that vibration in my face when I try singing the 'ah' sound and can sort of get it when changing to the other vowels though that will probably take practice.
Wow, just listening to her maybe do something with my vocals that I really never did before. That was freaking amazing. She definitely knows what she's talking about and I am stunned... She just made me pivot to singing in a way that I should be singing in order to find my true voice. So happy I'm ready to tear.
How to navigate your own voice. THIS is a huge hurdle for me. Thank you for teaching that our voices are multifaceted and sound the best when we discover what makes our voice unique.
I am a new sub, after watching a prior video I am hooked. Years ago I had to quit choir singing because I was getting sore throat all the time even though we did warm ups. I am hoping to ease back into it and I like how you are breaking it down in small steps. Can't wait to see what the next steps will be. You are a wonderful teacher. 💗

I totally relate to you...its difficult to get rid of the negative thoughts. I really hope that i'll put them aside one day ,and deeply feel every word i sing without thinking about it or feeling anxious that something might go wrong..I hope that you have loved your voice by now, and if you haven't , just know that i am cheering for you!
For someone to impart this much technique and understanding through a video alone is the mark of a gifted teacher. Thank you for all you give us!
Your passion for this art shines through every time.
I'm so glad I found your beginner's playlist! I'm already noticing that it's getting easier for me to sing, and I'm excited to be making progress! Thanks for these lessons :D
Where is the beginners playlist u speak of?

I’ve been practicing singing the hymns at church.🤣I was told a few times that I have a beautiful voice 😇I think I have a deep voice for a woman, even as a child. Thank you for your tips and advice. Singing is fun, we need more fun these days.🥰
To find your natural singing voice, you need to sing songs in the exact some voice you speak with, which doesn't mean it should sound the same...
But what many a singer who starts out misunderstands is you need to sing with the same relaxation as if you were speaking, you don't have to strain yourself to speak normally do you, so starting by speaking the words to a song first (in tune and on key obviously) will help you reach your natural singing voice in a relaxed way, without damaging your voice from the outset by trying different tembres or techniques you don't know how to do properly.
Makes a lot of sense. When I’m relaxed and absent mindedly singing a tune I heard, it sounds so much better than when I’m in the mindset of actually trying to sing cause then I can feel the strain. The problem is I don’t know how to train my body to not those muscles and I guess that is what vocal training is all about.lol
😂 i used to sing along to my Saturday morning cartoons and i have tons of songs I can sing off the top of my head memorized. ❤
So I’m alto, which means I have a naturally deep toned voice.
This was so helpful to me because I almost gave up on singing because I was struggling finding balance and variety on my voice . I know my voice is very powerful but being able to control that power by altering in different ways is my goals.
I definitely seeing this being my remedy ❤
I don’t have any idea what my voice is.
Alto here too, and absolutely same
Excellent!
Agreed, I'm the same way
When you hit the opera style it just reminded me of the lady at church that only sings in that style. 😂 It’s so hard not to laugh every time!!
Can't figure out why more teachers never cover open throat, but it doesn't matter anymore, since you did. And you get right to every other point as well. And you make it fun!
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you! I have tons of videos that will keep you busy singing and having fun!
Sometimes I think I sound weird. I am soulful and have a strong old gospel sound which is strange because I never listened to music that sounds like me. I sort of sound like a trumpet when I do exercises on your video. I have been told I have a unique voice so you just gave me confidence to embrace my uniqueness.
Sameeee!!! I can sing the sad mariachi songs pretty good if I'm being dramatic
Soul sister. !*;*!
I'm a beginner singer and have been watching a bunch of videos searching for an instructor like you!! You are the first instructor who has given me the tools to actually sound good!!!
Great! Make sure to see my PLAYLIST: BEGINNING SINGERS! Here is your STEP-BY-STEP guide! ua-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDB8Y43Y09ZULeoxrOYztdDD.html
I so appreciate that you made this a real demonstration and practice lesson and not another hook video to go on and on about why I should sign up for a service. Bless you and thank you!
Thank you, Monika!
Miss Victoria I have taken numerous years of vocal studies and have sung for many years supplementing my income by singing semi professionally. I still sing along with you to keep in voice. I love your technique. I have made my best money singing for weddings and receptions.... Blessings dear Lady... Rick
You are an angel, Victoria 💕 this is now my second video I’ve watched. And I can honestly say I cried singing because I feel like I was so free signing.Thank you so much. Will definitely taking some lessons from you SOON!
Oh, that is so beautiful! You are very welcome and thank you for posting! Keep having fun with your singing!
I have been practicing to your lessons but three days, and have learned a lot. To the point where I am sometimes able to feel the buzz, open my throat, project my voice to the front and back all at once - and importantly, sing in a much more relaxed manner throughout the entire range of one of my own songs in a way that was not possible before.
I plan to keep after your valuable lessons. I really appreciate the tab at the top left of the screen with the list of the vocal exercises. This makes it easy for me to follow your suggested order of instruction as well as to find videos focussed on specialized areas of instruction. You really know how to effectively convey your extensive and deep knowledge such that a person can learn quickly. Thank you very much.
It is interesting I always come across the perfect video of yours with the exact message and training tools I need. When I watched this video, I realized I was parroting other people's voices. I look forward to practicing these tips and finding my voice instead of doing voice mimicry. I have to say your tips are so excellent because I get something out of them and can feel and hear the change immediately. Many thanks! I love the passion you bring to all of your videos.
Awww, thank you so much, Jay! I truly appreciate your post!
Very good indeed. I appreciate your videos. God bless you 🙏
My gracious! I’ve been singing for years and just watching a few of your videos unlocked somethings I didn’t know I had!
Omg. I listed to two of your videos on my way home from work and my singing is already better! I'm so much more aware of my voice and its nuances. I can't wait to practice and learn more! Thank you for this entire series!! 🥰
I agree!! I cannot stand it when so many singers are sounding alike or trying to copy someone's style. Just be their wonderful self and sing in their own voice, not in someone else's.
This session was absolutely precious! Victoria, you are an angel to have shared this!
Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
This is the first video I've watched of yours. I'm in my 50's and have ALWAYS wanted to be able to sing but was too embarrassed to even go for singing lessons because of how bad I thought my voice was. I am in shock right now. I did this tutorial along with you, and I cannot believe what came out of my mouth! For the first time ever, I feel like I can actually sing. I am so excited to keep practicing and learning! Thank you!!!!!!

Fantastic 🎶🕊️🎶🕊️🎶🕊️🎶in-DEED 💙
Wow, I’m honestly so grateful to have found your channel. Thank you so much, you have helped me a lot!
Great! Thank you for posting your wonderful report!
Victoria is a true professionals professional, in every sense of the word, from any I have seen on video, her explanatory formula is unique & effortless. Plus she is a sweet Lady, whom I would love (as a singer) to have her as my tutor, I could imagine Victoria would make a crow sing.
I just love you, Victoria. I'm in tears. You're blessing me right now. 😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
Awwww, that is so sweet of you! I am so happy that I can help you!
i was just trying my luck in singing because i've always believed i can't sing but this video totally helped and changed my view
love your comment on american idol, i have felt the same from the beginning. you nailed it
I really appreciate that you have taken pains to answer almost all comments.Your dedication is outstanding and I can see that even after gaining so much experience you still have a passion to keep on learning about your subject of voice tecniques. I have not come across any negative comments. I am a humble student of yours and sincerely wish to learn a lot from you.
Thank you so much, George! I appreciate your post!
Good singing involves Victoria's training!!!! I never thought I would be able to sing! But I have to say, singing in Arabic is very different from singing in English. I can achieve a vibrato much easier while singing Arabic songs, maybe because it's my mother tongue. I don't really know. But seriously, I got much better at singing because of your coaching. So thank you very much for that :)
Great! Yes, you probably are more comfortable with your Arabic songs and that's why you can sing them with vibrato! Thank you for your post!
You astound me.Vctoria. I can't read music & I sing in church choir.Thansks for the exercise
That 'AH, THAT FEELS GOOD' 💀
Serious about learning how to singg
And i really like her personality and how she explains it
Thank you!!
You remind me so much of my late vocal teacher Robert Burgess-I miss him so! You are a great teacher and amazing energy 😍😍
You are a very good teacher with a wonderful personality and sense of humour. Big respect.
My greatest joy in life is when I am singing. Thank you for helping me along in my path!
I'm an older man, been playing sax and other woodwinds my entire life and now that I have more free time to pursue musical adventures, I want to sing. I'm OK, can carry a tune, sing on pitch and all, but I don't feel I'm able to project and really sing the way I think I can. I feel as though I may have stumbled on to the magic key here with you, Victoria. I found Frank Sinatra's book, 'Tips On Popular Singing' and have been casually trying to implement and adopt the ideas presented, but I think this short video of yours has been more valuable to me in terms of discovering who I might be as a singer. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and providing a very clear and simple method to help me find my real voice!!
I made sure nobody’s home before I did these exercises lol 😝
😁😁👍
I wish I could. I stay with my parents lol I have to stay around and it's always anxiety provoking
wow thank you so much , at last after all these years.I did it my way !
Fantastic! I can hear Sammy Davis, Jr singing now! 😃
Thank you for this beautiful lesson! I have been an instrumentalist for over 40 years, and this lesson is so valuable when looking for my own style. :)
Glad it was helpful!
I'm making my way through your lessons. Recently I became aware that my vocal range has decreased a lot from high school and I probably am not using proper technique to protect my voice. Than you so much for these leasons Victoria.
I can follow the exercises and that is exciting.
Exciting, indeed!
The Woman is an Artist.
Meeting people beautiful sharp as a razor, that's what im after.
She is a Star blinking at ya.
Breath is Life.
Thank You.
🙏
Oh man, no other voice teacher on UA-cam has explained it so clearly and concisely. Was instantly able to project my voice better and with less effort. Thank you so much for your videos, will definitely be looking at more!
Wow, I tried these tips, and I was amazed. Most of the other videos on UA-cam didn't help me at all. Happy to say your teaching is very helpful and gets immediate results, thanks so much!
Hi Victoria,
I never felt the need to comment to anything anywhere on these social meds, until now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been convincing my friends that everybody can sing, even when I didn't know how to myself. I guess I was bluffing. Anyway, I found mine I think.
Thank you, for helping me finding it.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful post!!
I love this lady attitude I feel you
My husband had tried to teach me this but in just a few minutes with you, I got it!!! Thank you for giving this info to us!
I am so happy i came across your channel! I never really learned how to sing. My high school music teacher ran a choir and asked me to join, but I wasn't confident enough to sing around people. She was awesome. I wish I had joined, I could have learned so much from her. So, here I am 40 odd years later, trying again.
Thank you!❤
Welcome to my channel! You are still young and it's never to late to sing and have fun!
you are amazing!! only youtubed coach that made me feel like i was capable of singing even when i sound awful right now. we need more people like you!! thank you❤️❤️
I am so glad! Everyone deserves to sing! Keep up the good practice!
2:43 I love this! And completely agree. So glad I found your channel
THANK YOU
Awww, I love your post! Thank you. I am happy that I can inspire you so much!
Just joined a choir I strive to find my voice and be able to use voice color, I love 💕 the insight
This is so helpful! Singing is my passion and I'm glad to find a great teacher.
Thank you for your beautiful words! Welcome to my channel!
Really happy to bump into your tutorial. Keen to look for more of your tutorial.
I have been practicing these vowels,and I can hear the changes in the songs,I put them to thumbs us.I am following through with all the practices you are so correct.Thank you for your time
Wonderful! Keep up the great practice and have fun!
Even thought this video is 4 years old I still want to say thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out my voice, but after watching this video I became so much more confident!! ❤❤❤❤
I love this lady! She’s gorgeous, classy and sassy!
That helps so much. I was always afraid to hit certain notes thinking that I couldn't but it was because my throat was so tight and constricted blocking the sound. I have extreme power even in high notes in chest voice when I just open my throat. It's amazing. Thank you
I love her way of teaching. So clear and content❤
Thank you so much!
I love singing. It makes me happy. I enjoy it so much and it is so therapeutic for me.
I was looking for this kind of tutorial for a long time. It is very helpful and fun. Great tips Victoria 👍 Merci,🙏

@@Victoria-Victorious Thank you. I appreciate it.
I am not new at singing but i consider myself as a profane.
9:39 "There is no musical instrument with the range and colors aa the human voice.." - you sold me!
Hi Victoria,
I never usually comment on videos, but I had to for this one. Your video helped me get over a huge barrier that was keeping me stuck for the longest time. I've always been able to support the voice, but I knew nothing about opening the throat. This really helped me to do that and now I can reach notes that I've never been able to before. Thank you so much for this video. Keep up the amazing work :)
Hi, David! Thank you so much for your wonderful report! That makes me really happy! Keep singing!
What a wonderful personality and way to teach. You need an award of some kind.
This was so lovely! Thank you so much for sharing your secret! :)
I agree with what you are saying - so many popular singers today are all sounding the same, as they seem to be copying the same artists. I think it's all on-purpose, but I would really enjoy hearing some originality!
This is exactly what I needed !!!! Perfect I’ve been seeing so many videos and this is my solution to really find my voice !!!
Fantastic! Be sure to follow my Beginner Playlist!
She’s full of life. Love this lady!
You do make me laugh, Victoria. Fabulous lesson. I learn more and more.
Thank you for cheering me up after feeling insecure about my dream of singing for others at my older age.
It’s never too late to start! It’s never too late to have fun with your singing!
This is my first time "here" - I have never taken any voice lessons though I come from a very musical family ~ I am just gobsmacked I'd never learned any of these things about voice training & pretty much gave up singing when my mother told me I was "tone deaf" - funny though, I can spot talent with my eyes tied behind my back! LOL Excellent intro - thank you!
Thank you for this video. I came here following your message on reddit and have watched about 5 different videos of yours so far, each of them look useful, though after watching the beginner singing lesson video, I think this one is the best I've seen. I can sort of feel more of that vibration in my face when I try singing the 'ah' sound and can sort of get it when changing to the other vowels though that will probably take practice.
Great! Keep working at it! I will make a video specifically on resonance. It is on my list. :)
Wow, just listening to her maybe do something with my vocals that I really never did before. That was freaking amazing. She definitely knows what she's talking about and I am stunned... She just made me pivot to singing in a way that I should be singing in order to find my true voice. So happy I'm ready to tear.
Your teachings are helping me ,,I like singing but I was not confident ,I will pray that God will give me money and go to sing in a studio
How to navigate your own voice. THIS is a huge hurdle for me. Thank you for teaching that our voices are multifaceted and sound the best when we discover what makes our voice unique.
I am a new sub, after watching a prior video I am hooked. Years ago I had to quit choir singing because I was getting sore throat all the time even though we did warm ups. I am hoping to ease back into it and I like how you are breaking it down in small steps. Can't wait to see what the next steps will be. You are a wonderful teacher. 💗
Welcome to my channel! I am so happy to read your wonderful post! Keep it up and see you soon!
The way you say that my muffled voice is dull and DEAD actually gives me confidence lmao.. finally found the best singing teacher on here!
I sing like a cat but coming here to listen to Victoria is like sitting with my mum again ❤
I'm excited to start my singing journey! I'm tired of feeling like im always straining
40 years in the game. ..This is the real thing. ...
Thank you!
