Hello. I am not sure what you mean. I received several orders today and they all went through fine. Did you choose your voice type and enter your credit card info or go through PayPal here: www.healthyvocaltechnique.com/order-victorias-victorious-vocal-exercise-program/ If you are still having trouble, please send me a note through my website.

Highly recommended to the many phonies out there 😀😀. (Count Elisabeth Holmes in.)
Great
Hello super new here, I was wondering if this would be applicable for someone who has a Puberphonia of sort, especially if its a Male but sounds like a girl type of voice, he can do some low Male parts like it manages to somewhat replicate when singing the OG "Beyond the Sea" Bobby Dylan but yeah...
This is why I love singing men’s songs. There’s no purposeful or subconscious want to try and sound like them. I generally feel like I just sing like me no matter what, no matter the genre.
I’m by no means a great singer (I just do it for fun in the car) but I’ve also found I’m way more successful at singing men’s songs! I just assumed it was because I have a naturally deeper voice and not the most fantastic range, so I don’t have to (usually) worry about hitting high notes when it’s a song written for men.
I thought I was alone. I feel the same way.
As a guy I feel the same way about women's songs haha
I do and feel the same! 😊
As I got older, it was easier to sing tenor than alto, and some soprano notes are now out of range.
You can tell this lady perfectly combines serious knowledge about the subject and tremendous charisma. Her energy is amazing.
Your voice timbre is awesome as well.
Brilliant. Really.
she's really fun to watch, full of positive energy... really reeling you in, i like it too.
The Patrick Bateman?
She's a vocal coach why are you stating the obvious?
Thank you so much, Pat!
I've been teaching voice for 50 years; this is the first time I've found a voice instruction video on line that makes sense and is very unlikely to cause any harm to a person's voice. Brava!
This is an encouraging comment! I will follow your lead and stick with these online lessons :)❤
I agree. I was a professional singer for about 30 years, and this approach is the first one that I see as making sense. I want to do some singing again, and my voice needs exercise. This will provide it.
First?
So many people are teased into silence from childhood if they even try to sing, whether they're any good or not. It's lovely to see such advice as this, and so many encouraging comments.
I was told to mime in the infant school chorus.
Times have changed. Nowadays kids are highly encouraged to sing and dance and all that stuff..
Excellent ❤
I fall in that category. I was made to feel as though I can't sing, when really, I was just very shy and suffered from anxiety. I'm pushing back now against that which has been sitting in my head for so long. 😊
This happened today me. My whole adult life i actually cry if i sing. Its such an anxiety for me i would love to get over it and sing.
"Copying someone else's voice is stressful."
Not for me. It's easy for me. What has been hard, is actually finding my own voice and unique style. Thanks for doing this video.
Totally agree
You know damn well that ain’t what she meant dude
Same! I can mimick female voices easily.
She means physically stressful.

Dear Victoria.. I practiced your siren and uh oh and ee and other exercises & techniques yesterday. Today, when I started singing a few minutes ago with the same song I always sing. I was suprised that I was able to raise the notes naturally. I think it is the siren and the breathing support that helps me reaching the notes that I wanted to reach with ease.. I tried other voice tips from other you tubers but yours was the best. I was able to do that after watching it yesterday..You are born genius and an excellent teacher that you're able to come up with this great program. I know our native fellows will watch this and they can learn from you! 😍😍😍
Oh Ij7
She makes it easy to just pick up basic skills and move forward on your own. I can only imagine how effective she would be in person, fine-tuning and correcting the basic techniques and introducing more advanced as needed.
Can you link this practices?
😌Same
Ah, Rita Lee, mas tu já és cantora aqui, no Brasil!
I tried these exercises in this video.. I must point out that I'm a woman.. I was in chorus as a kid.. I never new my voice could be so.. buttery! So smooth. I've always had a deeper voice as a woman. And I absolutely LOVE singing. But I never knew how to control it. I couldn't "find my voice" so I never pursued music or singing. I am absolutely going to binge watch your videos. I got a glimpse of my voices potential. I'm so shocked. I had no idea I could sing lol thank you!!
Wonderful!
+nebisaur165 Once those who do find their voices also learn how to find their ranges too. I took a vocal class once and I def. could have tried harder & done better in the class b/c I do love to sing. But the exercises in this video definitely helped me. I learned in that class that I'm an Alto voice and if I had put more effort (and had less sore throats-got sore throats due to my own emotions at times)...I easily could have been Soprano.
Also, for me personally if I want and I don't want to say I can go as deep as Baritone level, but my singing voice can go pretty dang deep to the point that I surprise myself with it and I'm like "there's no way my voice can go this low." I'm a girl btw & it's generally rarer for girls to have a baritone range level within their own singing voice alone. But I have caught myself going nasaly before & I'm trying my best *not* to do that at all.
I got a deep voice too. And my youngest daughter is very loud 📢 thinking maybe see if this is a singing opportunity ...find her voice.
This woman taught me how to improve my voice in 12 minutes. Unbelievable!
I once dropped a 5kg dumbell on my foot, that was the day I discovered my true singing voice 😂😂
😂😂
😂
She's the real thing. Uncommon but true wisdom. Yes, Victoria is sort of intense, but that's really genuine passion.
Thank you, Eric!
Intense and passionate vocal teacher is the best vibe. Thanks Victoria
Yes! You can tell she's passionate about what she does... That will make her FARRRR more effective than others. And it's her intensity that makes you wanna keep watching cause it gets you pumped up... You can sound like dog poop but she makes you feel like, "Hell yeah, I can do this!" Lol. I wish SOOOO badly I had her advice about copying as a kid. I went to a singing lessons summer camp thing and I tried to sing an Alicia Keys song... And was copying for sure. It sounded terrible... I don't have an Alicia Keys voice... I sound more like Lauren Daigle. But had I just used my own voice and chose a song better suited to my voice maybe I wouldn't have continued with more lessons. But now my daughter has an amazing voice and is musically inclined. She just turned 6 but I know if it's something she's really passionate about she can go far... That is with information and techniques that are actually useful. So I will definitely be watching more as she gets older to help her achieve what I wish I could have. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world. 💕
Love this video! It's almost like having a wise friend sitting across from you, grabbing your hand, and saying "no, dear, this is how you do it." Victoria is definitely coming from a compassionate space. So helpful!
Thank you so much! 🧡
I'm a 57-year-old, classically-trained mezzo. I sang high soprano in a small vocal jazz ensemble in high school and, over the course of a few years, moved over to classical and sacred repertoire. It was easy and I loved it.
I sang that way for 25 years and then married a wonderful man who was a singer-songwriter and guitarist. Singing with him was physically stressful because he always placed my songs low in my chest voice. It was uncomfortable.
Now, ten years later, I've lost all of my vocal technique. I never developed one for singing his songs (which he called "americana rock") and have lost my old technique. My throat aches when I sing and my voice quickly gets fatigued.
Singing well is one of the most thrilling, exhilarating things I've ever experienced. I loved it. I loved being a soloist; a good musician; able to sight read almost anything; and able to step into a choir and sing whatever the director needed, from first tenor to first soprano. I loved it. But that's all gone and I don't know how to get it back.
None of my teachers ever gave me information that's useful now. I'm going to follow your videos and see how it goes. So far, so good. And thank you in advance.
Hi, Sherry! Oh, I can feel your desire to sing! Don't worry - it is certainly possible to retrain! Start back in the part of your voice that is easiest and take your time. I recommend my Beginner Playlist to get you started. **PLAYLIST for BEGINNING SINGERS, all in 1 place!

Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm the most non-singing person on the planet and this was fascinating!!!😍 You make me want to learn to sing even if the best I can do is sound like a banshee with a hangover.
Singing is fun. Practice and believe in yourself. You too can enjoy singing!
I'm sure you have a great singing voice~! I can't sing either and been practising when I have the time to.
😂😂 Me too. I am sure when i sing, it will thunder and rain
i now actually know what a banshee is because of the movie bansees of irisherin (greetings from Slovenia haha)
@@kikiwritings Yes, I've never seen a banshee but they do exist from what I've heard.😄
I'm very bad at English, but because you speak so clearly and don't use any uncommon words, I understand every sentence perfectly with my school English. Thank you very much for your valuable advice. You encourage me to train my voice more and to leave out the vocoder, including autotune.
Greetings from Wolfsburg

(I used google to translate my comment from German to English uhm 😅)
Thanks for the bugs bunny tip; even if that was certainly not the purpose of your video :) .
Aww
FYI, there's a bit of a New York accent there.
i thoughy the same, i'm bad at listening, but i can understand every word she's saying
@@fearlessart418 More than a bit! But that's no problem, because she speaks so clearly. There's no reason why any regional accent should obscure clarity if one has the clarity of diction that Victoria has. She puts a lot of energy and focus into each consonant and vowel. Brilliant!😀
I love the frankness of this lady's teaching. A no-nonsense approach to singing. At 6:50 you get to hear the beauty of her singing.
Judge Judy's sister
I majored in vocal performance at a University on a full scholarship in 2010.
I was jaded and thought I couldn't make money in music, so I joined the military.
In 10 minutes, you have brought slightly back what took a dozen years to take away.
Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely post. I hope that you resume singing!!
Same!! I was a performing arts major in 1996-2000 but got discouraged and joined the military. Now I"m out and wanting to dive back into singing and acting. Best of wishes to you, my friend!!
It's hard to make money in music via performance, but you can always teach!
I’m trying to find my voice
Follow your dreams
*Finally someone who gives actual, true and genuine singing advice on yt that actually WORKS! Thank you Victoria* ♥
Ikr ❤
So many snake oil merchants who can’t even sing that are selling their extortionate courses.
I've been singing for weeks now, but always get hoarse after singing, even if it's a soft song. I really notice the change and freedom my voice has because of these exercises. Thank you!
When she gave "Victoria's Wisdom", I thought she was about to say "Victoria's Secret" loll
I subconsciously mimic other singers when i sing their song, it's like you made this video for me thanks ma'am
That's okay and pretty common. Find your own voice and then go back and sing those songs with the style you want!
Thank you for this video. I am a disabled veteran and I love to sing. People used to say I sounded good, but now I have facial scars from my time in service. Other instructors wanted me to do exercises I cannot do since I have no upper left lip. Yet your exercises were not affected by this. It gives me something to work on/with. I might never sound good again, but at least I don't have to sound bad. :))
thank you for your service hero
Hey thank you for your service brother. I’m a USMC veteran during a pretty generally peaceful time. Much respect!
Thank you for your service, Sir.
My mom and grandpa were very musically talented, but that gene skipped me. Completely. It's ok, I got my dad's talents. But I did inherit my mom's love of singing (to my wife's chagrin 😜). But this always reminds me of my Dad's joke... The Bible says to make a Joyful Noise - and son, you make a lot of noise!
God bless you and thank you for your service. I'm so happy that my videos can help you!
My word how wholesome
Мне 54 года, я не умею петь, смотрела с переводом. Очень интересно! Спасибо большое, вы молодец!
Lady you are amazing the way you weave all your other videos into this video is actually very useful for me.
People have been telling me I should sing for a long time, but I’ve always had a hard time finding where my voice was. Can’t wait to watch your other videos.
Thanks 🙏🏼
These exercises confirm to me I have a voice, which was stolen thru childhood trauma. I had actually discovered it about 35 years ago but I never got training. I am going to work from your videos, Victoria. Thank you so much. I love to sing. I have always known there is music in me and now I know my voice is the instrument I should have learned. BTW, even tho I struggle, because of lack of technique, I have virtually perfect pitch. I hear all the nuances, I just can't reproduce them consistently with my voice but I know that can be learned.
❤ beautifully said. Same for me.
I really hope you decide to share it with us soon. Wish you the very best.
I'm really impressed! I've been a vocal coach for 30+ years, and I LOVED this simple technique!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!
You're so welcome! Thank you for your post!
These are great weekly warm ups for amateur choirs. Love mixing it up with the key chords in songs being rehearsed. 😊
I absolutely LOVE your detailed intros to your videos. As a singer of 40 years...in my 20's I just wanted to 'cut to the chase' - tell me how to sing better IMMEDIATELY. This is why I stayed 'average' for so long. Not until I completely understood how to play my instrument, did I truly open up and gain access to my total range. You don't learn piano overnight. The voice is an instrument that needs to be equally understood. Thank you for all the free stuff you give away. ❤❤
After twenty-eight years, I used this just to learn how to speak out loud, let alone sing. Results I never imagined, overnight! The only issue is I'm so unfamiliar with my own voice, I can definitely see this taking at least a year to get the hang of. I'm no singer, but after following these techniques, I even managed to yell, for the first time! Thank you for posting this, seriously.
What happened that you couldn’t speak if you don’t mind me asking?
@@TheSevonne i don't know if it's the same for them but i know some people get stuck using monotone because of things like anxiety or being uncomfy with talking. some people use a fake voice without even realising
This lady knows her craft. I'd paid $1000s in voice coaching thirty some years ago for lessons similar to what she taught here. BTW, practice is the key!!! Money alone can't buy you voice. You have to pay and keep working on it.
i found my true voice when i was younger and when i was at church listening to other people sing their true voices, i never had a teacher or anything, just listen and practice and u will soon become u❤❤❤❤
I'm touched by your kind words.
Thank you for the love Victoria and the encouragement!❤
I'm really into the process to find my own voice. Thank you for this one.
You're so welcome!
The true voice thing rings true in rap/hip hop vocals as well. Most people start off trying to sound deeper than they naturally are. Sounds better when you find your own voice.
Yes but most rappers don't sing they talk and cause most aren't musicians there not in a particular key.
So true. We forget that our voices are beautiful and don't need to copy those of others.
Saw this on my recommended. I think the most important thing that I saw in the video is the confidence to sing like you are in a crowd even when training by yourself. You always look so confident and it delivers well
As a Taiwanese🇹🇼, I feel that your pronouncement is very clear. It gives me some confidence in my English listening ability, maybe it's not as poor as I think😂. Also, thank you for your useful singing advice.
First thing I noticed too
Yes, exactly. I'm a sound engineer, I have heard so many coverband vocalists try to copy the unique sound of each song they cover. They have no stamina and want more and more monitor and FX. But those who project their own sound, they're easypeasy to mix.
This is so fun to watch. I’ve been smiling throughout the video because of how passionate she is. She really gets you engaged.
you are the realest teacher I've found online. Thank you for teaching new techniques and reassuring the ones I already use.
I love all of these vocal exercises!!!!! I’m gonna use these a lot. I think I’m finding my own voice. I’ve been teaching myself how to sing since I was 9 years old. Thank you Victoria!
I used to be in choir in high school, I hadn't really sung in over 5 years, and anytime I did it felt strained. After watching this video, I feel like I got my voice back! I'm definitely gonna check your other stuff out! 😭💕
I can't thank you enough for this! I've been trying to find my own way to sing, but every video gives bad advice. Your video actually helped me find that perfect voice I've been looking for! Def earned the sub, and I'll be watching way more of your videos! Thank you so much!!
I’m an aspiring singer and this video helped me set scheduled vocal excersices. I love how you’re so personable and encouraging in the most real ways. Love it!
Yes that's the word , personable, and not all stuffy.
This is new advice to me. The best I’ve heard in years. Lately I’ve been sticking to my own voice. It feels like starting over but at least I’m starting over on my own path and not someone else’s.
This feels life changing- I have been practicing these tips for the last couple hours, and recording it to listen, and I don't think I've ever not hated hearing myself sing before now. I didn't become a GOOD singer in 2 hours necessarily, but the difference in just how much more breath I feel like I have is astounding
I feel uncharacteristically optimistic about how much better I could sound with more time
I already enrolled with another teacher, but I just listened to your video and I wish I had found you first. You are incredibly easy to follow. You make it look so easy. I love your way of teaching. ❤
Love your energy it glows, it reaches far and feels like a group of people on the cusp of an achievement ❤
I love how it's so easy to understand when learning from you. You don't explain with deep English and you always give positive vibes.
Oh my goodness, that takes me back! I did these exercises when I did singing lessons 30 years ago! Sadly I never had the confidence, musical,ear, time or resources to continue. But I still love to sing. Thank you!
Right away, I noticed a difference. I made all the mistakes you talked about, and when I applied your 4 steps, especially the first step, I knew I had forgotten to be myself first of all. Now I can go forward with confidence, all from being reminded to relax, find my voice and become confident and validated! Thank you so much! for being the Victorious You!
This lady is amazing, her voice is amazing and so is her personality. I think her and the honest vocal coach should do a video together. Their accents together would be so beautiful
I don't even sing outside of when I want to randomly bring up an iconic song, but this for some reason came up in my feed so I had it play because why not at 7am. This is genuinely great advice for people trying to get into actually singing, and it shows with how amazing you've trained your own voice without even having to look at who you've trained. Amazing video, love the segments for organization and sick piano.
Edit: Just noticed this video is a year old because CZcams just does that to my feed constantly, glad it came up.
I got chills when you showcased the different styles with your natural voice.
I ran across this and was really inspired. I was one of those people who sang really well as a kid and lost all my control at puberty to the point where I stopped singing cause no one wanted to hear me do the work to find my control again. I'm thirty-one now, and I'm working on getting my voice back. Thanks so much for this vid, it led me to your channel and it's been really helpful.
So grateful for this. Thank you.
Never had a lesson for anything in my life and I’ve been playing guitar for years. And writing songs. This is a game changer.
I started chorus in fifth grade, and have been singing ever since and I'm 27 years old now. Myself and others included consider me a talented singer, but after your video here I now have a whole new additional level of 'Je ne sais quoi' in my singing voice and i love it! Thank you so much
It took me only 2 minutes to fall in love with your teaching style. Great content, thank you, Victoria! :)
😭😭😭 teachers who speak like you are my favorite when I was still in school. They make me a little bit anxious or scared but never have I ever wanted to miss a class with them. Watching you gives me nostalgia and makes me want to attend classes again! ❤ Thank you for this, too.
This woman SINGLE HANDEDLY improved my voice and halped me relax my throat while singing so im more comfortable in 12 minutes
I like how you are breaking down the different anatomical locations of vocal elements. I think that's an aspect of singing that eludes beginners because most of us won't have background in anatomy or physiology but obviously it's very important because we are using a complex body structure to create a complex sound!
This is the best vocal coach video I have ever come across! You really made me feel special and I mean it!! Thank you Victoria!
I rile up my wife when I tell her most modern singers now especially in the female vocalist genre sound the same.. they all drag their vocals similarly in a way that resonates all the same, as opposed to anything prior to the 80s.
Thank you for the advice. I always struggled to project my voice without sounding tight. This definitely helped. Funnily enough, I do not have a unique singing voice. I have a twin whose voice is so similar to mine that our choir director could not tell us apart. She ended up putting us in separate sections to keep us from overpowering everyone else.
I like your lively, no BS way of presentation and guidance! The frontal buzz and resonance is an important technique we use in throat singing, the drone created helps us to provide structure to the melodies we are singing!
just found this lady, it's so nice to hear the things i've been trying to teach people for years articulated so well. I can't wait to show this video to certain people and see if they can understand these concepts in new light. that line about "singing for people behind you" really intuitively makes you understand how to open up your throat.
Crazy how quickly your channel grew. I was just watching one of your video a year or two ago and you hadn’t a big number of views or subscribers. Congrats on the booming channel!
Victoria! You are so amazing! You made me like my voice again! You must be a wonderful teacher ! Thank you :0
You’re the best CZcams Vocal Coach I’ve ever come across on here. I love your technique, how you teach and your personality. Thank you for doing what you do for people. I’m a new subscriber of yours as of today, Ma’am ☺️🙏
I love your energy. I literally just woke up and I didnt want to try your exercise yet but I found myself doing them anyway bc I couldnt resist. I also have an important singer I look up to and as you said, trying to sing like him makes me feel drained and frustrated when I cant sound like him. I really want to find my own voice
I live in a non-English-speaking area, so I couldn't understand the other youtuber's lectures. But I can understand your's because of your clear pronunciation and your appropriate speaking speed.
And the content of the lecture is also great, so I might improve as much as I practice. Thanks for the video
This is gold! Helped me more than a lot of hours I've invested in singing lessons so far. Subscribed!
This seems to be the equivalent of stumbling across a gold mine. Thank you SO SO much! I don't have the money to afford a teacher.... and to have such a seasoned and quality expert who still has her passion for singing to be teaching the fundamentals for free.... Thank God for generous hearts like yours!
Oh my goodness, these exercises are so fun. Unfortunately, I have vocal chord paralysis, so some things are infinitely harder on me to figure out, such as vibrato, but it's super fun to follow along to this. Thanks so much for posting!
I promise, I just figured out how to do this open throat. I didn’t know the terminology for it, so just said relaxed my throat. I sound so rounded and warm! I like this channel, thank you for sharing
OH MY. 😮 I cannot express how much I love this. Your voice at the end made me actually tear up. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
When I was growing up Mormon, we had vocal coaches like this help us out. I remember when one I went to told my parents I had a voice for folk and rock music. They were not thrilled but she was right.
A tip I was given to stop the nasal sound was to lightly plug your nose while practicing. The air then has to come out your mouth. You start to recognize when you are messing up even with your nose unplugged.
Fat deal
Thanks for the tip! I wasn’t a fan of my own voice when I first heard it on our first recording as a band. But now I am liking how I sound. Subscribed for more vocal tips! 💯
I fall in love with your teaching style and voice! Thank you for such a great exercises! ❤
We need more people like you.
OMG! This is SO useful! I feel like I'm singing so much better after 10 minutes! Thank you so much! It's so much less strain on my vocal chords too! You're the best!
Hi, Victoria 😊 I used to copy both Celine Dion and Enya just for fun, but not any more. Now I use my own unique low voice and I love it. Love your vocal exercises ❤👍👏
This was great. Thankyou very much for posting it Victoria ❤
u are my favorite
i will now start consuming this content with much enthusiasm. I find you to be uniquely vibrant & true. Soo happy to have found this wonderful insight & direction!
You're such an awesome voice coach,Ms. Victoria! Thank you for your helpful tips.
Thank you for being so articulate with your tips, and so jovial with the process of learning and singing. Great reminders !
You are both delighful, hilarious, and EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much
Soooo glad I found you! I was actually trained to sing at a Music conservatory years ago and could as you say, “sing anything “.
That was years ago and many classroom lectures ago.
Now, I would like to “find” my voice once again. I do some singing seasonally but would like to take a greater part. For this, I need to find what voice I have now.
Once, I was a coloratura soprano and can still sing in that range. My overall range was several Octaves… I just loved singing and music!
Also, I studied Concert Piano for 5 years… I preferred Vocal performances and chose that path.
I am now very glad to find you! I have a granddaughter who loves to sing also and needs instruction. She first performed on a stage at 3 years old.
In a few years, she will be singing Handel’s MESSIAH with her mother and I. We have to train her voice a bit and teach her the score. She is a little sponge and learns fast! I will talk about your training with her and she if she is ready. She has already expressed the desire to learn, but the timing must be correct. Currently, she is in ballet and hip hop dance instruction!
Thank You!
This improved my range tremendously. I couldn't figure out while sometimes I could sing high notes but not at other times. I noticed it was with certain songs. This helped me do it with all songs.
I have been trying to study other artist's vocal techniques, while still trying to find my own. This video was very helpful!
Victoria, this is just what I needed! I was a voice student 20 years ago and miss it so much. My voice teacher has since passed on and this video has elements of all the vocal faculty who guided shy little me back then. One of my fellow singers from that time (aka my ex-husband) sent this to me, and I'm thankful he did.
I remember these exercises, but you stepped it up and helped me make the connection of why I was taught to do them. Back then, to me they were just exercises for a grade.
I've subscribed to your channel and will get my digital Kawai out of storage. Thank you.
YAY! Congratulations on getting back into singing! I’m happy that I can be part of your journey!
Waaao! I needed to hear this! Thank you for the video Victoria.
You are so animated and so interesting to watch and learn from. Very easy to engage with and learn from! Thank you so much! I have been a church vocalist most of my life, and still I am learning so much I did not know before !
This video just blew my mind. It explained something I was trying to figure out by myself for a long time and had no idea on how to look for it! Thanks a lot!
I was literally just sitting here feeling like I can't sing anymore and hating my voice and feeling so bad that I might have messed up my calling. After this I already feel empowered again to work on my voice for the first time in years and pursue music again❤️
Awww, I’m so happy that I can inspire you to sing again! I have tons of videos that will keep you busy and having fun!
I really like your little light buddy in the reflection of your piano. You clearly know your way with the invisible arts and are a blessing. Thank you for blending sharp critique with the beautiful spirit of generosity. #TheToneoCommand
Loved this. It was the first time I was ever show to use my voice instead of trying to copy other voices directly.Thank you for a good start & it's fun!
I love how engaging, educational, and succinct your lesson was! Thank you for sharing your decades of knowledge!
Dear Victoria, God has saved my life countless of times, and I feel like I should be able to do something for Him and in His name.. I joined my church choir so I can praise Him more. I love songs, mostly hymns, but I couldn’t seem to get my real voice. I’ll study your video properly and hope to get it right. Thank you very much, Victoria🙏🏾
