I specialise in teaching children, and teenagers pop and musical theatre but I am trained in all genres of music. I have studied every voice technique there is, including Speech Level Singing, Estill, Bel Canto, Robert Lunte, London College of Music, ABRSM, Ria Keen, Kim Chandler, Stevie Van Lange and many more. I have been around!
In 2008 I wrote the Vocaltutor Guide, 21 set lessons for singing teachers to get started, learning to teach, and produced 3 vocal exercise CD/Downloads.

"it's almost like she's fighting the baby voice", this says it all.-
I wish she would sing in her natural voice coz it’s so deep and full
They sadly ruined her voice :(
MMV4799 She can and she’s show cased she can on Instagram. Let’s be honest she only sings in that now iconic baby voice maybe for a month when recording an album? She lip synchs her live shows (which as a fan I don’t mind cause she at least performs and put on a show which can excuse the lack of live vocals) so it’s not like she’s running her voice every single night...
Yea her "baby voice" damaged her REAL voice.
Her real voice intrigues me. I think it would have been powerful.
Interesting. Her voice is strained when she sings in the baby voice because it isn't her natural register. It gets pitchy which is a good thing she lip syncs in concerts to save her vocal chords. Gosh her voice in her childhood was amazing! Also the best vocals in this video was the Happy Birthday song. I would love for her to branch out and sing using the natural power of her lower register. I guess at her start of her career it would have been too similar to Christina's. Anyhow, look how many records Britney sold with her signature cute baby fry voice.
The forcing of the baby voice must have damaged her voice. The younger she was the better she seemed to be able to sing live.
Because your voice changes as you get older so it takes different techniques which is where her label messed up at
She is smoking and drink too much. Thats why
Hantono Shi She doesn’t drink
nice gasoline pic
@@hantonoshi she doesn't drink or hardly ever drinks since her 2007 breakdown and she quited smoking years ago, she's always been an average vocalist but she's been forcing her voice to sound breathy and high pitched for over two decades now so it obviously got damaged over the time, she still sounds okay when she sings in her natural tone but she needs vocal coach
Nice to see genuine constructive criticism rather than just saying “oh she’s trash, she can’t sing”. Thank you! :)
justphil84 Georgina is great, she’s super honest and doesn’t sugar coat but she’s also never disrespectful.
True
"I think she forgot the words" ... "Bless her". Lol.
Honest Vocal Coach is so damn sweet. Love her.
Yep she definitely needs a lot of blessings.
Well it happens, even the king did that
I truly believe Britney would have been a really good vocalist if she had been given a good vocal coach in the beginning when she was first signed to her record label. Seems to me all the problems with her voice could have been solved by learning proper techniques.
It's her record company.
I also feel as if she could’ve still done the baby voice, which is her signature sound with good technique. Its just distortion similar to Christina Aquileras growls and her unique tone which she has managed to do for years and maintain a mostly great live voice
No, the peoblem is that she has been forced to sing like that to offer to the market (in 1998, 1999) something diferent and to have comercial success.
The executives of the label company saw it had success and they continued with it.
@@Dmattmc but baby voice is way different than growling. Growling is pretty healthy tho
@Victor R. you cant sing
It’s so nice to see someone give constructive criticism in a nice manner. Thank you. Never change.
Her cover of 'you oughta know' is one of my favourites
Like, she should do a rock album!
Love it or hate it, it's probably one of her best actual live performances.
That song is PERFECT for Britney’s voice. So yeah.
I wonder why she didnt comment anything on her you oughta know cover and even 2017's performance of a bonnie rait song.
Yup…. I actually think she would make a great rock artist🤘🏼🤘🏼if only she would have been given the freedom to pursue a style of her choice… the baby voice was forced upon her😡it’s made her famous and successful, but ruined her natural voice which had amazing potential.
I think the main problem is the baby voice and a lack of focus on the voice, but she’s also been a smoker for most of her life. You should react to Britney vs Christina’s live vocals as children. It really highlights how much potential Britney had as a singer when she was young. I still think if she trained she could be a very good vocalist, especially given her range and aptitude with transitions.
100 % she totally was Christinas equal as a child.
Jerry Carroll Jr. Not she wasn’t lol. She had power but no tone or overall quality
@@dv4975 quality? britneys voice as a child could rival christina without a doubt. she has the range, she can do very deep and also very high but not as high as christina, but Christina cant go deep as britney can as well. Britneys voice is so contemporary, could also be in jazz, and definitely could be a broadway. thats a very powerful voice for a young child. my mother, used to sing in broadways, and she saw me, watching britney when she was young in star search, she implied that britneys voice is very suited for broadways, very emotional voice, she implied as well that britney can act through singing too she can make you feel melancholic, lively, sexy etc. and listenig to her ongs, she really can emote in her songs.
@@jerrycarrolljr.9857 liar 😂😂
Crispy or smthn idk child Britney was so much better than child Xtina :(
I still feel like a good vocal coach could still fix her voice. Her voice had so much potential.
R I Q U E I think that too. I’ve always thought the sound of her voice was pretty but it’s frustrating because since she’s already been this successful with such poor technique, her label will see no reason to fix it. At this point it’d have to actually be Britney who wants to buckle down and take being a vocalist seriously and hire a vocal coach herself.
Her lower register is so beautiful and her falsetto is great. She has a pretty wide range and she doesn’t ever get the credit for that. But the sweet baby voice that the record label wants from her has just trashed it, along with years of smoking. But a side note, there are plenty of other and better performances from her vocally that were not in this video.
QUEEN OF VOCAL COACHES
If Britney wasn't forced to change her voice and if she had vocal training she would be an amazing vocalist. Idk if that can happen now but she can definitely improve.
amazing vocalist is overrated word for her I think even if she had a vocal training
@@fachryhafidzahmadi3819 have you seen her video as a child? She actually WAS an amazing vocalist.
@@YgorCortes she really was
@@YgorCortes Was past tense, now her vocals just suck. Everyone keeps saying she was a great singer when she was young, yeah she's older now the way she sings has to change as well and she hasn't changed them, she's still singing with that weird baby voice. Britney fans crack me up though lol.
@@debscali7272 she doesn’t have a choice!! She has no choice in anything she does!!!
She also tried to release an album called original doll which was her singing in her normal voice.... yeah .... family and record company found out and it was scrapped!!!! SHE HAS NO CHOICE!!
She has ALWAYS had to do what ever either daddy, mummy, manager or record company tell her.... barely a life worth living is it??
Voice hasn't deteriorated , she just uses bad technique. The Happy Birthday song she sang was last year, clearly we hear how strong the voice still is. And she lip synch most of her career, so her voice is likely preserved and not as damaged as we may assume. The girl can sing, when she uses right technique ans sings in her natural tone.
Yeah, thinking about the lipsync thing I'm actually very happy she doesn't sing live very often. Her voice could've been destroyied if she had sang live for all this time.
I really hope so.
Thank you for mentioning this. I looked up what I think is the vid you're talking about (a concert in Singapore). A lot of real potential still there. There is a deep, soulful voice hidden away lol
In a part you are right, but that voice did damaged her deep voice, but still she slays with her voice, surprisingly it is still powerful and sounds very good, but when she goes higher she sounds like the baby voice we all know
The tone is there but the fluidity is much weaker.
Go see her childhood vocals. Never thought I'd say that before about Britney, but she SLAYED
Please apply to Britney Spears or her team as vocal coach!
Agreed
Huge Britney fan here and thank you for doing this vid. When you asked what contributes to the deterioration of her voice, she’s a smoker, she’s been smoking since roughly 2000, (late teens) that’s the first time she was papped having a cigarette anyway. She’s no Whitney Houston but she does have her moments and I truly believe her voice has the potential to be even better if she were to shake off bad habits like the “baby” voice, smoking, etc. A lot of her earlier and unreleased songs see her singing in that lower richer register and I truly believe as a singer, that’s the range where she feels most confident. The “baby” voice was 100% manufactured by her record label to make her sound more “pop” and I feel that she’s lost a lot of confidence when it comes to singing in her natural voice.
At 5:22 you hit the nail on the head, I too think that she is fighting between her real voice and her baby voice.
She is fighting with her life. I hope she's living a happy life.
Absolutely
The choice of her label to make her sing with a fake (baby) voice damaged her voice. I wish something works out. Her voice used to be so beautiful.
There’s a difference between damaging a voice and forgetting how to sing normally
@@tsfbaf303 Lol. The continuous usage of her "baby" voice has damaged her singing. Fact!
I really don't think she supports her voice at all. Her voice is disconnected and unstable all around
That and alcool and drugs during her breakdown time too
jodavitow I agree! I've never heard her support once. She treats an A4 like an A5
I think you should react to britney vocals when she was a child (star search, disney era...) her voice was incredible
I also noticed that as her career progressed, her voice has gotten consistantly higher and more pitchy in that baby style. In baby one more time, you can still hear a more darker tone to her voice which is almost then less in her second album Oops but is still there. And then in her third album Britney, it's almost totally gone being replaced with a more pop sounding lighter tone. After that she just lost total control with her voice and I think that once she went down the more light pop sounding road, her voice just went kerplunk.
I definitely agree. But there are some demos for Blackout that she uses her natural voice and they sound AMAZING. The Glory album also uses a bit more of her natural voice and it sounds very very good!
Love your videos. I do think it's the use of the "baby voice" which has damaged her voice over the years. Yes its her trademark but it's a shame as she had such a beautiful strong voice when she started out. Still love her though!
the vocal coach is right about everything! she has so much freedom and at 9:08 she sings it her own way.- the best way.
Every Time by Britney is my all time favourite songs by her.
She's always been more of a performer than a singer, but her voice has definitely deteriorated over the years. I guess it's a mix of being forced to do the "baby voice", not training your voice properly and smoking.
She once had the potential to be a "fantastic" vocalist. The people she has come across in her life just weren't "human". She has a really emotional life story.
@@mynameissurya18 100% agreed
I think a lot of it now is nerves too, those panicky breaths she is constantly taking and the fact that her voice is always restricted on stage cannot be a coincidence. I mean people argue auto tune makes her albums good, maybe but Cheryl Cole can only be helped so much with auto tune so its proof that the star has to sing well for it to work fully
Oh friend, she always was a singer before the RCA. She used to be incredible, the old videos of she singing.. She had a deep great voice. The baby voice is what killed her. czcams.com/video/8tIrwsJfS2c/video.html she was amazing
@@mynameissurya18 You summed it up perfectly. Her fame came at a horrible price.
This was a great reaction! I love the fact that you acknowledge Britney's true power in her voice. I'd love for you to react to her vocals when she was a kid. Now those are to die for!
Hahaha lucky with mess hair
Her hair style is not to make her look younger, she was young at that time 16 or 17
*She seems to sing other people’s songs (other genres) better than her own, or rather songs that are written for her. I love love love her!* 💖😇
Your faces when it comes to Britney's voice are priceless
Omg you're getting funnier each time, I love your videos 😂
The record label forced her to do the “baby voice”. An interview was done years ago where it was revealed that she did a rock/pop album as her first album was that trashed when the label said they wanted a more “pop” sound.
Love these. Thanks for doing Britney, been loving her since I was 3 ❤
Hayyyy Keefer!
@@problematique9389 joeeeeyy 😄😄😄
If you listen to her album Glory you can hear how good she is at singing and how much she has improved. She sings with a healthier technique and with a voice that is very close to her real one. She also has some good and complex riffing, low notes, head voice and belts. I really recommend you to listen to it and also check out “Britney Spears Glory Acapella” on CZcams to hear it better. 😊
Tbh Glory has a lot of effects on her vocals in quite a lot of songs (like Invitation). I do hope she releases a new album without the baby voice and excessive amounts of vocal editing.
18:28 THE WAY SHE GETS OFF THE HEADPHONES LMAOOOO she's like *i'm done.*
Same think 90% of general public does whenever random Xtina screaming oops singing clip pops out.
Hahahaha thought the same thing
You can see her patience meter running down throughout the video and finally at that point she’s like “enough” 😂😂😂
@@Harisss94 I hate xtinas voice its actually annoying and makes me cringe..the audience hated her national anthem flop
The most incredible react from Britney Spears . 😊
the Alanis Morissette cover gave me LIFE! ❤️
I just adore your videos, Georgina! You are one of the honest vocal coaches I have seen. I enjoy watching your videos while working (; Greetings!
I love your videos and your demeanour, so soft yet honest and real. The one thing I am having a harder time to adjust to is the beat background with your intro, it contrasts the soothing tone of your voice too much IMHO :)
please somebody must give to the coach to hear some of britney's songs from the "original doll" album!!!!only in that album britney use her REAL VOICE!!!
They're tragic as well
@@rlysuitable 😂🤣😭💀
this coach does live performances. she doesn't seem to do produced performances because they can be altered in many ways and may not at all represent what the singer actually sounds like.
Thats my thoughts too! And in Glory and Britney Jean too.
nowvoyagerNE they’re leaked raw vocals actually. baby boy & let go for example. you can search them up.
Literally the best vocal coach! I would love to work with you! So honest,kind,positive!!!❤
Luv your videos girl keep going keep doing more stay blessed
You are so sweet and positive. I honestly don't have much nice to say about her voice past the year 2000 (before that, she could honestly sing very well)
Love the new intro!!!! Love your channel
I always wonder what her voice would have sounded like if the producers hadn't forced her to stick to this high larynx baby voice.
When she goes down one can hear that there is power in the voice.
17:15 this is a story about a girl named Lucky 😁
I like the way you analize vocals and techniques, I apreciate your honest way to talk about it. And I really enjoy your videos, I send you greetings from Mexico.
i really really dint't know how much i need this videos!!! you are amazing !!
Yas queen I love your videos 😍
You deserve many more subs.
Can't get enough of your videos. Much love from Sydney, Australia
I also love that Everytime performance at the beginning of the video . She sung it with emotion. Beautiful
I dont know why but I laughed a lot watching you do the reaction. It's really honest but I still love Brit. Keep it up, coach ❤️❤️❤️
Its me who requested this reaction thanks alot your the best..
And me
Love this video ! ❤️ Britney is such a talent. Wish they would let her display that more!
She was only 17 in the clip where you said they 'Tried to make her look younger" lol
But still, it's not common for 17 yo girls to do that hair style. If they do, they make it look edgy. While in Britney's case it's definetely to make her look infant.
Tomás León in the 90s? literally every teenage girl was wearing pigtails with colorful hair accessories lmao they definitely did try to make Britney look “innocent” to fit an image but the pigtails were common anyway
@@tomasleon3148 it was the 90s. Every girl from age 15-28 wore them lol. Even older women
@@tomasleon3148 You should keep your thoughts to yourself, you are the infant one here.
I don't who you are my dear honest vocal coach, but I simply adore you and cannot stop watching you! You are utterly fabulous! xo
wait for this video! ❤️
I love Britney voice because is unique
@Victor R. a millionaire one.
I'm in love with that new into OMG İT'S JUST SO GOOD
Omg Iove you! You're so fair. More Britney videos please
You are fantastic!!! Greatings from Poland😙😉☺
1:32 she literally turned into Christina Aguilera for a split second
Lol YES!!
That might have been part of the label’s process in making Britney sing in a baby voice aside from sex kitten because I think when she breaks into natural voice I can hear something similar to Christina
they could have just went on with her natural powerful voice tho, i mean they dont have to worry similarity problems cause its britney that breaks out at the scene first before christina.
Yes I definitely hear Christina at 1:33!
Britney has a beautiful voice it goes wrong when it’s mixed with the baby voice or she over sings but when she lets it flows it’s beautiful
Love your stuff. Your a good judge and kind
yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss i was looking for this sooooo loooong!!!
Great Job Girl 🖤 more like this with Britney. Thx Girl
Keep 'em comin' Georgina! xx
I love the new intro!
I love your videos and I’m a huge huge Britney fan I agree with everything you’ve said ❤️❤️❤️
Her voice has not deteriorated. Artists have some bad performances and you have to remember she dances her ass off within every performance so even when she does one down song and is live, she is still trying to catch her breath. No one has danced like her within the pop world. Nobody.
Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson, Destiny's Child, TLC, Aaliyah... I love Brit but what we not gon do is pretend nobody else dances hard on stage while singing
I really liked her cover of Something to Talk About. There is a strength when she does a blues/country style of vocal and isn't too high in range. She leans into a raspy lower tone. I did love the Alanis cover.
OMG YOUR MY NEW OBSESSION ❤️😂
2 Queens, 1 vídeo! Love that!!
I don't think Britney can't sing but it's so hard to handle a fake voice even with technique. And I think she started to suffer from anxiety thought her career and it came to a point she stopped to sing live.
I think Christina suffer from anxiety on stage too because she always sings better in rehearsals than live televised performances and that's why she lost her voice between 2012-2014.
By the way, ¿Can you react to the new Christina Aguilera - The Xperiencie in Las Vegas?
She's doing it great and her voice suddenly sounds healthier, almost like in 2009.
It would be great if you react to "Maria" (Live in The Xperiencie) or "Twice" (Live in Liberation Tour, because her creativity was awesome in every single performance).
Greetings from Chile!
Katy Perry's record label also attempted to destroy her reputation.
Xtina's voice became inconsistant at first cause her voice significantly deepened after her first pregnancy and she was getting used to the changes + personal issues. Since 2014 though yes, it Is cause of nerves. Saludos de Chile también :/
the very end of Hit Me Baby was soo good and relaxed larynx
Y’all should react to her kid vocals before the record label made her sing in the baby voice
listening Everytime ,,i cry.
Her Grammy performance probably was her best live. Love love this song From the Bottom of the Broken Heart
Except that entire performance wasn't live, she lip synced/mimed it
It was completely live
Only baby one more time was lipped you can’t lip syynhc at the Grammys
@@thomasfellows7541nice try
BRITNEY IS MY IDOL 💗
You’re a vocal coach with knowledge of proper vocal pedagogy. What a crazy idea!! (You’re wonderful!!)
I’m a big Britney’s fan and I love your videos!
I love your videos of Britney Spears!!
Something to talk about should be on there!
She sounds better in "studio enhanced" sound! There are
some artists that need that!
Part of an artist's appeal is
being able to sing along to
their hits!
She does smoke and I think nerves plays a role too. The voice sounds so tight.
I think you can be a good vocal coach to our Queen. ❤️
You’re an amazing vocal coach. I love that you can see the issues in performances without hate. It’s really awesome. I can watch you anytime. ❤️ I do think her “baby voice” and bad technique as you were saying damaged her voice. She was never taught properly how to sing in her tone. If she would of had a proper coach and they used her natural tone she would have been unstoppable in my opinion. As much as I love her, she had so much more vocal potential.
I love The intro!
Great video. Thank you so much for being so respectful. Unfortunately people tend to not be very respectful towards her, which is very sad. You on the other hand was, and explained a lot of interesting things! Great video!
She's actually very talented, but as you mentioned, her baby voice makes it very very hard, I really wish she would use her natural tone more often because it really is beautiful. Imo the baby voice should be a stylistic OPTION to use eventually, not all the time. Also there's the fact that she suffers from anxiety and is actually a VERY shy person, so I guess she has problems with stage fright after the things she went through sadly. Anyways, she deserves the best and let's hope she starts using her natural tone more often 🙏
Technique and lack of practice hurt her voice the most. Her best performances (vocally) were 98-02 and this video didn’t really showcase them, but gives you an overall idea of the struggle she’s had with breath control and keeping the “baby” voice out of live performances.
I love Britney Spears 💎 But you should have in mind that most of the times she sings after heavy dancing...
Good point)
I still love the vulnerability of her voice, those cracks i lovveeee.
Her first two albums really showcased her soprano like vocals. Where are you now, Soda pop, the beat goes on, email my heart she nails those vocals and sounds amazing. It’s the songs and the technic she learned from max Martin who literally records her sing one line and then cut and has her do another line and cut.
As a huge Britney fan. She used to smoke a ton, the baby voice isn’t anywhere natural. She’s a natural alto and thrives in a deep lower register. But her voice is what mad her iconic.
I love her... this lady is so cute, and quite naturally funny. 😍😍
I love this video, and your channel :) Britney’s voice is good, she just pushed it somewhere it probably shouldn’t have gone.
Thank you for the reaction. Her voice deteriorated a little bit due to her excessive smoking, stress and the baby voice. But her vocals in the Glory album are still incredible. I would like you to react to Britney Spears - Everytime at Speed S channel, is a compilation of the best vocals of the song. Thank you!! 💋💋💋
Wow ! Discovered your Channel today and I LOVE it. Super interesting and you're so sweet.
I know she isn't as widly popular as other singer featured on your channel but i think hearing your thoughts on Katie melua would be awesome :)
Anyway I will watch any of your next videos, i'm hooked!
Georgina, is it just me but I always thought those two background vocalists were messing "I'm Not a Girl..." even more?? Anyway, great video as always. And I love your lovely rendition of "Like a Star." You rock!!
Britney has a naturally beautiful voice which her management/music management have moved her away from to a high pitch for commercial or perhaps other reasons . Britney has smoked which will have damaged her voice somewhat, she has used the 'baby' voice which isn't natural, plus she has serious medical conditions which require prescribed medications, this in turn must affect her body including her voice.
Thanks for reacting to Britney!
