This video helped me a lot, i was afraid of singing out loud for so long because i dont have much privacy in my house. i had to practice in the middle of the night, mumbling with lyrics.
Thank you again for pointing out my problem !!!
Yes, find a place that you can practice freely!
Yes! I have the same issue! I live in a mobile home, my husband works from home, and my son works 36 hours on the weekends so he is home all day during the week. There is nowhere to go so someone won't hear me and I've felt so inhibited doing the silly sounding exercises, or that I will annoy one of them (I am easily annoyed by other ppls' sounds lol), or embarrassed when they hear my voice crack as I am reaching to expand my range. She's so good!!
Victoria, oh my goodness, you make me laugh so much! Yet at the same time, you teach extremely practical tips and I love that you dealt with the mental piece of it in this video. I know I am a good singer, but am afraid to let myself shine (due to some childhood ridicule, by a parent and other school children-who used to call me Tarzan! Lol). Thank you for "embarrassing yourself" first (I didn't think you GOT embarrassed? 😅 You're so freely silly, which I love!). I absolutely adore you. 😍
@@debigreen482 When I was living in a small apartment with thin walls, I used to drive out in my car and practice there :)
Yes! Same here.
I need to practice more on letting my voice out. Everytime I sing in front of people my voice doesnt come out because im so nervous.. But I know God will help me overcome this if i do help my self at it..
Same.
Same and now am finding it difficult to hit high notes
i have the same problem😢
xD
Ughhh here to ☝️
So great thanks Victoria!! I was criticized and it has made me insecure..I still get nervous thinking people are listening how practice etc....
You are very welcome! Keep singing in front of people!
@@Victoria-Victorious Any ideas how to get people to want to hear you sing?
@@ingerv2559 Unfortunately, you have to knock them dead. You can't just be slightly better than a good day in the shower. There is a lot of competition for one' s attention in the age of social media.
@@ingerv2559 You know, just have fun with it. Work on your singing skill. Stop reaching for an audience. They will appear when you are ready for them.
@@ingerv2559 Take lessons, practice, and one day when you don't think about it, and you're humming or singing a little melody, someone will say how nice it sounds.
From randomly singing in church as a kid and hearing positive feedback about my voice, to getting classical training, performing in opera concerts, getting awards to suddenly losing belief in my voice and convincing myself that I cannot sing to focus on building a STEM career. 8 years later, I decided to free myself from this prison and give myself a shot as I finish this CS degree. I have an acapella audition at my uni, these tips will definitely go a long way!
Thanks x
Good luck on the audition!
Thanks so much! I've gone through nearly 1000 tutorials at this point and you're the first person to not shove a paid course down my throat, you make singing feel a lot more approachable and all of these tips have really helped me :)
I get nervous when I sing on stage and I just noticed that my neck is stiff after the set. So I think I’m all locked up when I sing. This will really loosen me up. Thank you very much!
I have 2 videos on Stage Fright. You can start here: Nervous Singing Voice? COMBAT STAGE FRIGHT! czcams.com/video/GBWsM7Jc3qI/video.html Also, see my playlist on Throat Tension.
That's my problem. I'm in panic to sing in front of anyone! Your tips are a comfort and make me feel that I can sing. I just have to win the fear to be heard and do the exercises. Thanks Victoria. You are great!
I've exactly same issue
I wish I had a soundproof room
You're amazing as a teacher and character. Thank you for bringing so much knowledge presented in such a pleasant and fun way!!
Thank you so much for such a nice post!
Thank you for everything you put out, Victoria! :) I'm a trans man, and I'm trying to re-learn how to sing while I also work on achieving a more masculine resonance. I've continuously tried to learn vocal technique, but a lot of the advice I've heard has felt vague and hard to follow, and not knowing if I'm understanding it right only makes my anxiety worse. I love the way you explain things, though. You seem like a very genuine person and the way you talk in general is very fun to listen to. It keeps my attention when my ADHD would usually make it impossible to follow along fully. I'm looking into getting a vocal coach and I can only hope their teaching style is something like yours!
Omg you are absolutely amazing!!!! I currently battling stage fright real bad, but ever since I was 5 I wanted to be a singer so much, I want to battle this problem so that I can be the singer I know I can be someday!!!!!! Your videos are so inspiring to me. I appreciate you!!! And you sing so beautifully ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, @AlyssaJames! Make sure to see my video, Combat Stage Fright. Also, I have already made another long-form video on Performance Anxiety that will be posted soon! 😀
What I just discovered today that also helped was pulling up songs that are fun, such as songs you grew up listening to that provides a memory or in my case, singing along to disney songs and musicals. My voice (after being fully warmed up and I get out of my own head) just naturally comes out with much more ease and even a vibrato sneaks in here and there by singing these types of songs (for me anyway)! The more fun you have, the more you are distracted and get out of your own head! Now the next step is to have more control of my singing during other times.
Thank you for your Victorious Vocal Tip, Victoria! It helped a lot!
Thank you for the help Victoria. ❤ I get so self conscious when I hear my voice aloud, and that just makes me tighten up even more and sound worse. I feel like a little mouse trying to sing 😓
It's okay! Just keep practicing! Make sure to study the videos in my Beginner Playlist! Beginner Singing Lessons - FOLLOW THESE VIDEOS! czcams.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDBD7MGUWCSdC4yhLzxVsEdW.html
I like her energy, reminds me of my art teacher Ms. Muncy. Real bouncy and fun.
Thank you for posting this! I get so nervous when I sing and I'm so glad you addressed this issue.
This was soooo good!! Thank you!
Victoria! I just love you. Your movements look balletic to me. I'm pretty sure you went to dance classes 😚😉💃, am I right?
Love the stomping exercise. I get yelled at every time I speak in my normal tone of voice, never mind singing 😓. You can imagine how closed up and tense my voice is 🦀🐌🐚.
Recovering from many years of domestic abuse. I'll get there 💜.
Yes, I took dance classes and always wished that I could excel at ballet but it never happened. Find a place where you can practice and let your voice out freely.
That was awesome!
You are so fun and generous!! 🌸💕
this was super helpful thank you!
Thank You for this video, that was THE one i needed to assist today !!! 🙏
I like you Victoria, I had so much fun following along 😂💜 I subscribed and hit the bell!

Thank you for helping me take my voice out of audio prison. ❤

Love the exercise
Thank you, Victoria!!
You are so welcome!
You are amaaazing and funny. Love all your videos. Still can't afford joining your classes but maybe in future x
Thank you ma'am for your videos! I feel like singing just seeing the way you talk so cheerfully
I love you, your wisdom has great value and you give this all with joy and energy!
Congratulations on 98 amazing full length vocal techniques videos!! Another helpful and fun video!

Thank you so much!

Thanks Victoria. I would love to hear your advice on weight training and other exercise plans such as Pilates and the voice. Really in connection with tight throat and pulling tummy in. Thanks for all you do for all us. Loving your program, feedback,and your webinar was amazing.

Greetings! Thank you so much!
I just found this video by chance, thanks CZcams! You are so entertaining and practical! I am an insecure Alto with a lot of buzz, I just realized thanks to you that I don't have to have so much buzz. I look forward to trying your techniques and practicing correctly. Thank You!
Welcome to my channel, Jeanie! I have lots of videos to keep you busy and having fun!
Yes
Yes ma’am ❤Thank you (you’re funny we Love that ❤)😂
My “head case” is my biggest obstacle. Yep, I’m in self-imposed prison. While growing up, I tried singing in the choir at church. The hymns were often too high or too low or, most often, split my range in two. I thought you’re either born “with it” or “without it.” Due to my difficulties, i concluded that I didn’t have it. Even in garage bands and church combos, I never sang. Now, just as I start to build some momentum, I get sinus infections that settle in my throat and take weeks to clear up, so I have to basically start over.
I love you so much 😍😍😍
Thank you for such a sweet note. 💛
I feel like I am often holding my voice back or not letting it out freely when singing on camera over time I start singing more freely, but singing on camera I often sound shy or feel self aware when off camera I sing so confidently
Wow, this exercise is already opening me up so well. I know I have a ton of work to do, though. I'm going to suck it up and go through your "beginner's" playlist even though I'm not really a beginner (I have bad habits like one though).
Did you come up with the spoken siren, or did someone teach it to you?
Glad this is helping you! I can't remember where and when I learned about the spoken siren because I have done it for decades. I wish someone had taught it to me when I was a beginner.
❤
I love to use hand movements but it's not easy to stop doing them when I sing in front of the others 😂 Have you some advice to that 😅 I love your videos and I bought your program right after I found your videos! Thank you very much about this all!!!
The big hand movements are just part of your practice as needed, followed by practicing in "performance mode" without them.
You are the Best ☝️🎩🎶
Thank you so much!
By the way, i am not shy 😉🎩❤@@Victoria-Victorious
I. Love. You
Dear Stranger,
Listen well. In this big earth many don't have voice by birth. Some are mute by birth. Be grateful whatever voice you have and try to live your life. Though i know it's judgemental society so try to avoid old hags opinions and live the life with no remorseful moments anymore.
watch queen latifah's film The Last Holiday, film Black based on helen keller, film Judgemental hai kya, film Bajranji bhijaan
happy watching 😇
Thanks you very much for this video. I have a problem with stage fright which made me scared to sing out..but thanks this video helps me alot
🤘🎤🤘
Why dose this lady only have 200k followers 😭😭😭
Another Saturday and another video. I look forward to them. Was going to ask about the idea some nervousness could result from lack of trust in one's preparation or technique -if you don't know what or how you are singing it's hard to know what to do if 'what comes naturally' doesn't come. But instead, after seeing the picture of you in the slammer, I wonder if "Folsom Prison Blues" is in your repertoire?
Oh sure, nervousness in performance can definitely be from lack of trust in preparation, BUT some singers never even get to that point because they always hold back in practice, never learning to let the voice out.
My main concern is I live in an apartment and want to practice without disturbing by neighbors, either sounding like a dying animal or an seriously out of tune violin 😂 otherwise I’d scream it out.
But I can attest to the breathier you are the SQUEEZE becomes your worst enemy plus raised larynx tight muscles everything bad happens, so you have to sing at minimum speech level.
I recommend that you find a place to practice freely, maybe at work or school or just park your car and sit up. I do have a couple of videos on practicing quietly, yet efficiently, that might help you at home too.
Dang... I have no idea if shes correct or not, but I'm a sold! That chick's a baddie and drives it home with that personality
I find it hard to let my voice out Incase it sounds weird to people. God help me
Idk why this made me cry
I luv u so much 🥰🥰🥰🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thank you! Come back soon!
Can u make a vedio about falsetto, when i sing in falsetto my voice keeps shaking, and i don't know if I'm doing it the right way
I have a video on how to strengthen head voice. :)
@@Victoria-Victorious ok i will check it out thank you
Goat
Mam what is the purpose of interval training?
To keep your throat open and free. We have to learn how to sing smaller and larger intervals first in exercises.
So how does a person get from these exercises- conscious awareness of what the body is supposed to feel like to subconscious engagement of the mind and body when singing? Because I can only sing using the techniques these exercises teach when I’m not thinking about singing. When I’m just enjoying music and singing along in a car or while cleaning. But when it comes to practicing and improving my singing ability I lose that knowledge of the way the body is supposed to feel and I get tense and closed up, every time. Even if I’m just in front of myself.
Ah, this is where the practice comes in, making parts of the song into an exercise, then applying the words. Vocal Exercises - APPLIED TO YOUR SONGS! TRANSFORM THEM!

Oh god I am stuck I think I can't even achieve my first goal😭sing in pitch omg it's so difficult confused between interval training and all those
It's easy to become overwhelmed as a beginner! No worries! Follow my Beginner's Playlist: Beginner Singing Lessons - FOLLOW THESE VIDEOS! czcams.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDBD7MGUWCSdC4yhLzxVsEdW.html
Super shy and i despise undeserved confidence i can only relax when i do none serious songs safe and comedic songs. I had no fear when i was young.
You are as Cool as they come. };}]~
Awww, thank you so much! I love being cool! 😀😎
😁🤗🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Not shy but more scared to sounds like dying goat bc i never really free my vocals since i just sing in bathroom my room and nothing more
See my Beginner Playlist! Let your voice out and have fun!
How do i move from chest voice to head voice
By working on your mixed voice! I have a whole playlist on that. PLAYLIST on Mixed Voice: czcams.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html
Mam as u told me learn to match pitch with pitch monitor I have learnt it I think but when I sing any song I am always afraid or feel if I am on pitch not not u know what I mean😂😅
You really do need to record yourself and listen back right away so you can tell.
@@Victoria-Victorious OK thanks a lot maam
Best advice I have as a singer... Practice.. however you do it... do it ALONE. In a safe space. 😊 Thank me later...
Sometime when you sing, they will ask you to reduce your voice.
Oh yes...knees shaking , hyperventilating..so bad that when I would try to sing a song I would have to have the music tech person stop the music and start over again....ugh hated that.
Is it true that only good singers have big mouths? That's what my old dentist told me lol. Not sure if I've already asked you.
No, LOL! 😆
@@Victoria-Victorious unworthy and worthless is how I started feeling being told that. Thanks for helping boost up my confidence. I really appreciate your videos and hope and pray I get to work with you one on one some day because your videos have been having a huge positive on how I think.
Victoria what’s your ig name ??!?
Hi, Tonda! It's the same as my CZcams channel - Healthy Vocal Technique. You can also just look up my name, Victoria Rapanan. See you on IG!
