As someone who is looking into getting into singing professionally, this is so helpful, your channel is amazing. I don’t have the money for a vocal coach currently, and I haven’t had one in the past, but I’ve always performed. I could always manage to sound good most of the time, but I always knew I wasn’t doing it healthily. Your channel totally helps! I’m definitely a very tight singer, I push too much and I don’t relax enough
Yes! I tank up. Thanks for completing this concept for me: high notes require little air and tanking up is counterproductive. I have loads of air left over and then exactly what you say happens: I stack the tank, abs get tight and then I croak.
50 years of singing professionally, but I had so many bad habits and ideas. Your videos are helping me to undue many poor approaches to singing. I have always thought that I had to tank up and sing loud all the time. Thanks again so much!!
My song director sent me to your site and this has been a delight! I look forward to what you teach. I will also sign up on your site as well. Thank you! I feel the difference in my breathing!
Update: I now fully understand "breathing and supporting for the phrase" Not wanting to "tank up" I was failing the long notes at the end of songs. Now I know that if there's a 12 or 16 count note, that it's okay to tank up. So now I'm not stacking on the short phrases and I am tanking up for long powerful endings. Thank you for mentioning the counts. I've started counting the phrases to get a good strategy on how my breathing needs to be regulated for the song.
I just want to tweak your description. I never use the phrase “tanking up” to mean a good thing. I would just focus on a larger volume breath for the big phrases. When I say “tanking up”, I mean over-breathing.
Great video! I tend to overbreath a lot, leaving me with two bad choices sometimes: throw it out and breath again (which introduces/builds up tension and mess up the song's flow) or bet on having enough air for one more phrase hahahh I have a question: does breathing the right amount of air becomes "second nature" after properly training or is it a matter of studying a song and activelly "prepare" your breathing for it? I guess what I'm trying to understand is if breathing for singing is about muscle memory after a lot of training or is it an active preparation process by the singer for each song? Thank you for your awesome content!!
Another great video - one of the best things I learned from this lady was about engagement of the lower abdominals likening it to blowing up a balloon. So now I keep a bag of balloons handy and start off blowing a few up each day before singing it really works wonders !
I'm only at the beginning of the video but I already had to laugh.You are so cool, Victoria 🥳 I really appreciate your videos! Looking forward to our next group class🤩😍
Also regarding the proper air intake I'm new but I'm already noticed that some people make noise during nose air intake and it sounds bad on the microphone I recorded myself and I heard the same how not to make noise during air intake because sounds really bad on top the other exemples that you already give us thanks very mucho for sharing your knowledge with us
If your program offers a large range of vocal exercises that the student can then tailor to their own specific needs, how does a student know what exercises would be the most beneficial for them without any professional feedback? What would you suggest?
Besides the basic short and longer vocal workout with backing track, I give you tons of options for different vocal needs. For example, if your voice is weak, breathy, nasal; if you need to work on breath support; if your tongue or jaw are tight; if you want to sing different styles like pop, classical, country, etc. I explain the purpose of every exercise and how to do it.
Ew, I just recorded my face while singing. I look so ugly when I open my mouth. It was traumatizing. I think I'm going to go back to silence. I can't sing with these crooked teeth and this horrible long face. It just looks terrible. Maybe I'll try again if I ever get my teeth fixed. I appreciate all your help through these videos, though. It's been great advice.
Thank you for this video! I have a question. I am learning to use my diaphragm/midsection muscles rather than my throat muscles for singing. However, I am finding that I am going off pitch a lot more and I have back pain because I have poor posture and this gets in the way of proper breath support. Do you think this is what is causing my recent pitchiness, and how do I fix it?
I've been recommending your videos on r/singing because so many people keep asking questions about their voices that you answer so clearly. I hope it helps with subs. :) Edit: forgot a word
Do I need to take in a larger amount of air when singing on a higher than a lower scale? Or, do I need to have more breath management support and vocal track placement?
It depends on what you are singing, but generally, high notes take less air and more breath support. See my playlist: Singing High Notes - EASIER, SOLID & MORE EXCITING! ua-cam.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDDcjU4lWBKrhNlR1o2hCFmM.html
My vocal teacher in the past make me breathing like elephant she always telling me while vocalise to fuel my bonessss back muscles ribsss with air she’s mad and I have a small body so I end up with dramatic problem so if I inhale normal my belly becomes so big like I’m pregnant 🥺😤😩😔😟 I’m really upset and I left her classes at all . So every time I do vocalise or sing I have this big problem and I will never stop my passion hope I can find a solution or cure
Sure, no problem! Watch the videos in my playlist on breathing and breath support. This one addresses your particular problem: Breathing for Singing - UGLY (and Common) MISTAKE & SOLUTION! ua-cam.com/video/43VUzocnNcQ/v-deo.html
As a cantor for a catholic church, I struggle the most when the music is very fast paced and doesn't have any natural breaks for breaths. I end up running out of air and just feel like I'm gasping by the end. Ugh

@@Victoria-Victorious thank you for your feedback. I agree. I guess it's more like "big breath".
This makes so much sense. I used to stack so much air it was like it got in the way of my voice and tone.
You bet!

Eventually it becomes second nature. In the beginning stages, it takes more planning.

That's great! 😀 Thank you for posting!
thank you
Thank you for these awesome videos, Victoria. You speak very clearly. As a non-native English speaker, I must say that it helps a lot!
Oh, thank you for your post! So happy that I can help!
I'm only at the beginning of the video but I already had to laugh.You are so cool, Victoria 🥳 I really appreciate your videos! Looking forward to our next group class🤩😍
Thank you, Birgit! I’ll plan the next class soon!
Another fantastic video. I’ve learned so much from you. Much respect.
Thank you. I appreciate your posts!

@@Victoria-Victorious oh wonderful. Thank you for answering.
Great video, thank you.. and the balloon tip from you, and someone’s post below, super useful for me 😃🎈
Glad it was helpful, Janet! 😊
Go! Kabayan. I'm so proud of you. Sayang Malayo ako.
I will be returning to the Philippines for a visit after the pandemic.
@@Victoria-Victorious I'm based in the Netherlands.
This was great! Very helpful 👍🏾
Perfect timing. Yay!

Oh no, this makes me so sad! Don't stop! Think of the PERSONAL joy that singing brings you. It is so much more than your image in the mirror. 💚
Your simply the best are your cds on ebay or amazon?
I don’t have any CD’s. If you mean my audio exercise training program, the link is in the description box below most of my videos.
Thank you for this video! I have a question. I am learning to use my diaphragm/midsection muscles rather than my throat muscles for singing.

It is impossible to tell without seeing and hearing you, but perhaps you are overdoing the inhalation and over-supporting.
I love you

@@Victoria-Victorious Thank you, I forgot for a moment you can't be far from the fundamentals.
One quick question, what about yawning while singing? Is that a problem with Breath control as well?
That typically goes away too after you learn how to breathe properly for singing. Make sure you are not taking in too much air and not over-opening.
My vocal teacher in the past make me breathing like elephant she always telling me while vocalise to fuel my bonessss back muscles ribsss with air she’s mad and I have a small body so I end up with dramatic problem so if I inhale normal my belly becomes so big like I’m pregnant 🥺😤😩😔😟 I’m really upset and I left her classes at all .
