Good stuff to know
Thanks
Another fantastic, fun educational video. I’m always learning. I never thought of a catch breath but it’s there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thank you, Robert! The Catch Breath is where a lot of singers have problems and get tight!
Very helpful, Victoria. Thanks.
You're so welcome!
This is amazing, I have had this explained to me earlier but only now I truly understand. Thankyou!
So happy it helped!
Im always learning from you! Such an inspiration! Lots of tips! 👄👄👄

Awwww, thank you, Marcus!
Haha..you are unbelievable funny. I'm so looking forward to the group class in 3 weeks. Hope to see some of the CZcams people who are following your weekly videos here😉
Thank you, Birgit! 🧡
My approach is currently just breathing through the nostrils as much as possible. By means of which, all the deleterious effects you described work themselves out. It started all slow at first, but it got more efficient.
Love the exercises :) 😃
Glad you like them!
Wonderful exercises!! 🌬️💨💨
Thank you!
Thanks you such much ma'am for giving us your valuable information just so easily on CZcams..I know how much your lessons are!
I have a request.. in India we had the Great singer Kishore Kumar everyone says he is the best singer India ever had... Can please react to his voice so that we can understand how he was so good.
Yayyy I got it lol‼️👏👏
Yay!!! 😀 Keep it up!
OMGoodness! I just realized who you remind me of! Karen Gorney, the actress who played opposite John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever!! (I always thought she was so attractive btw ;) Have a lovely day!
I've never been told that! Thank you for your post!
Happy teacher's day mam!! 💞💞🥰
Oh, thank you so much, Nebula30!

Omg when I sing I’m get so out of breat like it’s not funny but Thankyou sm for making this xx
Watch and study the videos in my playlist on Breathing and Breath Support. They should definitely help.
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you! Yes, definitely adding it to my daily exercises. I have a question.I’m auditioning for a band next week. I’m working diligently on my breathing because that’s my weak spot. I’m singing “ Lovergirl by Teena Marie. There is a spoken phase that is six sentences long . She speaks the entire phase without taking a breath. I’m trying to take a good supporting breath in without tensing up my abdomen but, I keep running out of air on the last two lines. What am I doing wrong ? Help!🥴
Have a planned Catch Breath until you have built up enough stamina to make it through the phrase in 1 breath.
@@Victoria-Victorious THANK YOU so much. I’m learning so much from your video’s and your explanation of proper technique makes it easy to understand. 🌺
Thank you. Victoria, Thinking of two songs that I perform that have a bunch of them. The Guess Who's "These Eyes" and Grand Funk's "Bad Time." Do you agree?
OMG, thank you for the memories! These Eyes, 1969! I just played it! I haven’t thought of that song for ages. I played your other song which was not familiar to me. Great songs. Sure, lots of fast songs require catch breaths and good breath support if the have long lines and “big” notes.
@@Victoria-Victorious Let me know if you come to NY.
So natural singers breath like goldfish right out of the womb
Victoria, should you also also breathe in through your nose at the same time, or not?
Perfect question and will be the subject of my next video!!! My answer: it all depends on what you are singing. I will make the video tomorrow and it will be posted on Saturday. 😊
@@Victoria-Victorious Thank you fo imparting appoggio vocal technique foundational to Bel Canto and other styles of singing. It should never become a lost art.
Oh I forgot! 😱
Can we catch breath after every phrase or can we do it in the middle of the phrase
General rule: breathe where there is a period or comma in the sentence; certainly where there is a rest on the music; or else you breathe for style, as in expression.
I did the pant and nearly passed out 😵 lol
Don't do it as long in the beginning.
(Gasp) A revelation! My first impression is that it’s harder to do this smoothly if the first word starts with a vowel. Could there be a reason for that?
Sure! Many consonants can aid in vocal fold closure, whereas lots of singers will have breathy on weak onsets with a vowel or else go too far in the other direction with pressed onset. Make sure that you watch my video on onsets.
i am not able to do the 1-8 exercise :((
It's okay! Go at your own pace!
1:55 dog pant
5:15 this is a quick short breath so don’t need a lot
You get what’s needed for the song
4:45 catch breath needs to be connected to the phrase or else it sounds phony
3:44 train body to take the catch breath spontaneously and 2nd nature while keeping throat open
You don’t have time to slowly take in a full breath and prepare body for everything
So I'm assuming this is just topping up with a quick breath as you don't have time to exhale all your breath.
No, you should be at the end of your breath when you reach the end of each phrase. If you have breath left over and you breathe on top of that, it's called "stacking", which is a bad habit (and will make you tight). See my videos on how much air it really takes to sing.
Once again, thank you Victoria for your reply. If I were to join your course, I assume all the group sessions are at your local time. How far ahead of UK time are you please?
The UK is 8 hours ahead during Pacific Daylight Time. It will be 6:00 PM for you - piece of cake! I usually have a few students from the UK in my classes.
Smurfs can’t sing. Maybe too deep of a joke for some of you :)
