Hi Victoria, your videos have helped me so much, I’m not a professional singer but you have helped me understand my speaking voice, and also singing over my guitar (I was collapsing my body over the guitar). I think people experience cognitive dissonance when they hear me speak because I’m a relatively small, blond woman with an extremely low voice. I’ve learned I have to modify my voice for other people’s comfort, but your videos have helped me figure out how to do that better. How do I know whether I’m a bass or a tenor if I want to sign up for your course? Thanks for your videos, hugely helpful! 🙏
@@emilycross4527 Hi there Emily! 👋 Just a heads up that you may actually be something called a "contralto" (in particular, a Dramatic Contralto based on how low you described your voice to be)
Watch the video "Time in a Bottle - cover (Jim Croce) - Dramatic Contralto Version by AMADEA" to check if that seems similar to your own voice. If not, then watch the video "The Contralto Voice" by super vocal and see if any of those singers feel similar and let us know which ones seem closest to your tone (& range if possible) 👍
Also, for the record, I'm in no way affiliated with Victoria or the Healthy Vocal Technique channel; I just used to be in choir in high school (secondary ed.) & college (post-secondary ed.), and I like learning about vocal stuff
Hope this helps! 🤞
This lady is extraordinary...what a knack for showing people how to improve their singing. Very knowledgeable and effective.
Thank you so much, Greg! Truly appreciate your post!
I don't know why pinching my nose to test for nasal singing never crossed my mind, but it's the single most useful thing I've learned from watching about 20 coaching videos. Thank you
I love how you mentioned holding the nose to check. Thanks for clarifying that Nasality is okay when needed in the song, but beware because it can get stuck in the nose and then it starts sounding Nasal I used to have that wooly voice quality because I was confusing nasal resonance with nasality. That's been corrected since I fully understand that nasal resonance is a key element to mixed voice. With practice, I've learned that certain sounds must be nasal. But since those sounds usually follow a vowel, then I carry the vowel with nasal resonance and just let in the m or n really quick.
Excellent!
NOOOO choir or voice tutor EVER explained this to me.. THANK YOU!
So useful, Victoria! I loved that! Thank you! 👏🏼🙏🏼 To me this is key for switching between certain languages.
Thank you for this video, Victoria!!💗 Here lately I've been very curious about this topic!😊 You're AWESOME!!!!
Glad it was helpful for you!
You are too Good! Absolutely enjoyed your session❤️
My voice has improved so much since I've started watching your lessons , no lymph nodes this time !!
Always beneficial, appreciated.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I didn’t think I was nasally but I felt my voice was straining and this helped me figure out my problem! I do sing nasally and now I'm trying to train myself to keep my soft palate raised. It feels awkward at first but now it’s coming naturally. Thank you for the improvement!
I find your teaching both informative and fun...
Perfect timing for this video!
Great!
Using the hands to control the amount of nasiality is really working well! Thanks.
Very helpful tip! 👍
YEAH-I have enjoyed this video- as usual. Thanks ♥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ohh ❤️❤️❤️THIS ONE,, my problem resolve with this video I used more often nasality.. Thanks dear teacher
CZcams recommandation at his finest ✨
Great explanation, thank you 😊
You are very welcome!
Thank you!
This was an extraordinary lesson. Thank God for you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the way you teach
Thank you, Shekinah! I hope to see here again soon!!
Thank you so much, ma'am. I am very happy to see your free tutorials on CZcams. You kind of look like Rebecca Parham's voice teacher, but I am not sure.
Thank you👍
Excellent video to finish off the year! You'll know when you've raised the soft pallett too much on the E because its spreads to an E-yay.
Thank you for this video😘
You are very welcome!!
Thank's Luann for all your amazing tips. Chic C'est la Vie
When I started this all i got that air not going through my nose and after exercises ma'am im very thankfull for this its very helpful like im reborn
So true.
Thank you mam
I needed some additional context for adding “nasality,” for stylistic purposes. This video was spot-on. You really knocked it out of the park. Here’s to your continued success.
As usual, every tutorial you give us is so eye opening. Thank you Victoria. Please allow me to ask, are there drinks one can take to improve their singing? For example, some people encourage lemon, ginger and a few natural spices. I am also wondering, is it really necessary to avoid all sugar, caffeine and some spices foods? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Victoria. Happy new year to you. 💕💞
This all differs from person to person. Some singers cannot tolerate spicy food, wheat, caffeine, dairy, while others do just fine. I eat everything but avoid anything heavy or spicy right before a performance.
@@Victoria-Victorious Wow...thank you Victoria. You're awesome.💕💞. I'm truly grateful and this is so helpful to me. I'll try to follow in your flow and see how it works for me. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Wow 😯I was shocked
Thanks Miss, Im right now have imagination,,❤
What is the best way to choose a voice teacher?
The one thing that makes nasality is the tongue. If I breathe through my nose, the back of my tongue naturally blocks the mouth cavity so air can go through my nose. Anytime air is coming out my mouth, the back of my tongue is not risen. Therefore, in order to sing nasal vowels, the back of the tongue should not be blocking the mouth cavity. If the tongue is not blocking the mouth cavity and I am making a nasal sound, that is resonating the nasal cavity correctly right? Should I always try to resonate the nasal cavity when singing? Can there be too much resonance? Thanks for the video God Bless : )
Hi Victoria! i am now one of your loyal vocal student. I have a question, does Nasal Resonance also can be applied onto other Vocal Registers such as Falsetto, Whistle or Masked Voice?
Yes, nasal resonance should be part of your regular default for beautiful singing .
Please tell the difference between nasal resonance and mask resonance and loft resonance
These are all terms that can be confusing. See my playlist on resonance.
How can i avoid the "twang"???
What do you call it when someone has sinus issues and sing nasal sometimes. Is there a way to trick the voice to sound like you want it to?
Every little thing we do physically while we sing affects the sound. We can alter our sound with resonance. See my playlists on Resonance and also on Better Tone Quality.
@@Victoria-Victorious Thanks Victoria, I will rewatch them. My hubby alot of the time has sinusitis. 🙂
is this way to mixing?
No, mixed voice is an entirely different topic. See my playlist, Mixed Voice Made Easy! czcams.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCCsBgnhWjfRRAWIPflxZp1.html
Is closing the pathway to the nasal cavity (thus switching off nasal resonance) different from arching the soft palate? I can do that without the yawn posture or creating an overall darker sound.
There are different degrees of arching the soft palate. Arching your palate does close off the nasal port (to avoid nasality which is in the nose), but true nasal resonance occurs behind the nose, as discussed in this video. If you go too far into the yawn, you will get that overly dark, swallowed sound.
@@Victoria-Victorious but this is exactly what I don't understand. If I'm closing the nasal port completely, nasal resonance (resonance occurring within the nasal cavity) breaks down as well. I can do this and raise the soft palate to a maximum without the slightest darkening of the voice. Alternatively I can darken the sound, while keeping the nasal port wide open (and therefore sustaining nasal resonance) when I widen the space back there by lowering the larynx. Yawning is associated with a combination of both movements.
I would have to hear you to tell for sure what you are doing. I think you are confusing the air emitting from nasal port (nasality) vs nasal resonance. They are 2 different things as I explain in the video. You may be arching your palate slightly and not realize it. Great if it means you are not nasal.
@@Victoria-Victorious please note that I edited my comment just about at the time of your reply. I've checked what exactly I'm doing using a torch and a mirror.
I do see the difference between nasality and nasal resonance. Nasality as you define it occurs when the soft palate is hanging too low. Resonance in the nasal cavity on the other hand occurs unless the soft palate is too high and the nasal port is shut completely. I'm just saying that, while closing the nasal port makes my voice sound less balanced, my voice doesn't get dark or dull. Dullness only occurs, when I widen the throat by lowering the larynx too much, which is completely independent of what I'm doing with the soft palate.
For mask resonance and loft resonance also do we need to lift our soft palate mam?
It depends what kind of sound you want. See my videos on the Open Throat.
@@Victoria-Victorious ok mam
Is it normal to have phlegm after or while doing vocal warm ups?
If it gets worse when singing, it is often a sign of irritation caused by tension. See my playlist on Throat Tension.
@@Victoria-Victorious when im singing there is no phlegm only when im doing a vocal warm up i will watch your vids thankyou🤗
😱I feel like you can read my mind 😁 good timing
One question ,🙋
There's this breathing exercises that goes "Hi hi hi hi He he he he ha ha ha ha haw haw haw haw hOooooooo (sustained hoo) all on the same key. I can do the hi hi part and my ab muscles working hard but I can't sustain the last hoooooo,am I doing something wrong?
It sounds like you need to work on your breath support. See my playlist on breathing and breath support. czcams.com/play/PLaWjWxiTysDCQDneLVxvJRkJp_Omj_vbp.html Also, your OO vowel might be breathy. I have a video on the OO vowel.
I had to have my pallet shortened, and I think they over shortened it. It felt like years of voice training went down the drain because now I cannot control when I get nasally. I have a wide range, but I am lower scale for a woman, however... if it sounds nasally, is it even nice to hear? I need a good singing sesh, though, or I get legit cranky... so now I just seclude myself and sing what I want. I do miss being able to sing, and not sound nasally. I keep trying, I didn't build my voice in one sitting the first time, either. 😕
Hmmm, I have not encountered this with a singer before. **Make sure that the back of your tongue is not sitting too high.
@@Victoria-Victorious madam pls help me recognize a voice type :
czcams.com/video/glAYOM3gKhk/video.htmlsi=cIRTZZaQ2xHm-056 - at points 12:51 & 16:00 respectively.....
Any nasality/ nasal base etc ?
I can remove nasality from every vocals except ee, I really dont know how...
That is likely your soft palate too low and/or back to tongue too high. EE Vowel Singing - TIGHT, SPREAD OR MUFFLED? czcams.com/video/19JbzQP8bEE/video.html
Thats My Problem NoseVoice....
Of the nose but not in the nose -De Reszke (I think). This one will take some careful listening and practice on my part. Important because I do hear what you mean by the difference between a ringing sound and a wooly one. I think of the latter as the voice 'in the bucket' or being dragged along by the melody. On an unrelated note, in a previous video you spoke of using the laryngeal tilt to improve the tone but in my reading I've only come across this technique as a means to change the vocal fold length for the upper register. So... if you discuss the upper register and the head voice again, would you also comment a bit on the laryngeal tilt and where it fits into singing in the upper register? Best wishes.
In classical singing, the slight tilt generally begins in the middle voice and increases as the pitch rises. The tilt helps produce a sweeter, more melodious tone for classical, as opposed to a more speech-like sound.
I only say singing is bad when it causes harm------ that one death metal vocalist: yeah, I'm going to make you regret saying that
The weird thing is somedays I feel like I know exactly how to access my nasal resonance and other days I cant seem to find my way there and my singing feels completely in my throat and difficult to maneuver. Anybody else ever experience anything similar?
