  • How to Improve Breath Support for Singing - make sure you apply it CORRECTLY in your songs! We will review breath support, including exercises, and how to apply it to your songs. Some people call this singing from the diaphragm although this terminology is incorrect. You will learn about appoggio, breath control, and how to build breath support for singing into your daily practice habits which will make your singing easier and more fun.

    Im in tears!! I’ve always had problems with my support and no matter what I tried I never knew how really supporting feels. After I tried your exercises I just sang a full song with relaxation and without getting out of pitch. I feel a big break thought in my voice. Thank you!!!!!

    Finally, a teacher who demonstrates and explains perfectly the transition from breathing support exercises to actual singing! I have been doing endless breathing and warm-up exercises from various channels for weeks now but not really understanding how they would apply. I was hoping they would just miraculously improve my voice over time. Now, I understand it perfectly thanks to you, Victoria. It will take a lot of practice, but now I know how to practice effectively.

    I've heard so many people try to explain breath support to me, and your explanation is the only one that has worked. Most people either don't explain it in a way I understand, or what they say is just straight up wrong. I noticed such a difference after watching this and a few of your other breath support videos!

You’re the exception. You seem to have a great, informative, and applicable video about pretty much any vocal question I could have. I also appreciate that you always emphasize the importance of the whole body, and address issues of vocal health and longevity at every applicable moment. Thank you.

    I find I do best right after those exercises, as you say. And when I am properly supported and my airflow is balanced, my voice sounds sooooo beautiful. I have been tearing up at the thought because I have worked so hard on my voice and this is the key right here to getting me to the other side! Thank you thank you thank you, Victoria! 🥰

    Thank you SO very much for being So very thoughtful and Soooo kind in sharing your wonderful expert tuition. You are defiantly an Ace, and I find you and your techniques Fascinating! You explain first class and your passion is Full, I absolutely love that.
    I have always loved singing and especially that cry in a voice such as Elvis had that is SO full of emotion. I have learnt to sing exactly like that, But I am So so shy to sing in front of anyone, I sing low at church because if I sang out loud I think I may be told to sing quieter. I just couldn’t sing without singing with emotion.
    I have never seen a vocal coach anywhere before and I just love your Brilliant unique videos, I am completely gladly amazed by you and I will study your videos over and over.
    WOW I love your So powerful versatile Beautiful voice, Amazing!!!
    I would just love to see you perform in concert with the great Andre Rieu. That would be superb!!!!
    Thank you again So very very much Victoria, you I know are making a Great happy difference to people world wide, and Stars will be made because of YOU! 👏😀.

    Hi Victoria, thanks for such an amazing video. Love your intensity, sass and detail! I'm understanding the concept of support, but finding it hard to put into practice. I still feel like I'm using my throat (maybe lower throat and not so much upper) to help produce the sound and not 100% using the support. Is there some sort of feeling or sensation that can maybe "confirm" i'm using my support and not my throat to produce the sound?

    • @Victoria-Victorious
      @Victoria-Victorious  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for sharing!! While support is vital to good singing, it is not the solution for everything. If your throat is tight to begin with, then you have to figure out where this tension starts. I have lots of videos on this. You could begin with czcams.com/video/nhNNo6STgTE/video.html. It could be due to tongue or jaw tension (videos on that too). You will know that you are making progress when there is a sense of ease in your throat while singing. I also recommend that you watch my video that is designed to be the first lesson, just to make sure that your overall approach is right. czcams.com/video/WH_OV7yEDf4/video.html

    Good day, I used to sign pretty good (but did not take many lessons) but a recent jaw problem makes it impossible for now. I am waiting for an intervention about that. Meanwhile, I still have to work… and talk at least 15 hours a week on stop. I am a fitness trainer. I guess if I apply your advices it should help me use less jaw mouvement and have more power without straining my vocal cords?? Your support system is close to what I teach for muscle toning. So far you are the best I saw on the internet, you are really generous. Hope you can help. Thanks so much.
