    This is my first video I’ve seen on this channel and I just want to say that I deeply appreciate her teaching style. She’s firm and straightforward without being hyper critical and making the student feel like they aren’t good enough. She recognises that everyone starts somewhere and wants to help you reach your full potential with skill and technique. I’ve been singing for most of my life and when I started to develop chronic illnesses I lost so much vocal control. I now struggle to not push and I feel like I never reach where I was at in the past. It makes me incredibly self conscious but I feel very supported right now.

    This is such a great video. I'm working on nuance now. I can get control over during my practice but, Once I go to sing songs, I start getting to loud and blowing out my voice for the next and part of the 2nd day. That's after, warming up good and feeling good through the vocalizing, then, singing through a set of 8 songs twice. The singing felt good while doing it but, those ghosts of voices past crept in and I got too loud... Then, I have trouble getting good vocal closure for those 2 days after. This is day 2 and I'm still struggling. I also have rehearsal tonight...

    • @Victoria-Victorious
      @Victoria-Victorious  2 роки тому +3

      Please be careful. In your practice, make the song into an exercise so that you learn how to apply the technique. Also work on strength and power. I have videos on that. Another thing, why not tell your band members that you need to sing 1/2 voice for some rehearsals if your voice is tired? Definitely do not sing if hoarse.

    Hello Victoria! I am a beginner and I wanted to ask you that is ear training something that I should start from the very beginning or is it something we do after sometimes? And also is it necessary that I do the vocal exercises while playing the notes or scales on piano? Bcz I actually don't know much about playing different scales nor can I tell which note I am singing on😭 . For example when you say to glide on a 5th , I can't tell if I am on the right notes, whatever feels good I do it! Can you help me with this too😭

    • @Victoria-Victorious

      If you are able to sing in tune, then put the focus on your voice. No need to learn how to play the notes. Most of the exercises that I do are in my vocal exercise program, along with piano accompaniment. www.healthyvocaltechnique.com/order-victorias-victorious-vocal-exercise-program/
