@markiee13 3 года назад

Your videos are absolutely amazing, Victoria! I'm very happy to have found them. I've noticed that I sing with a tight throat. Putting my fingers on the side of my throat has been an eye-opener and works every time ;). I will just have to practise so I won't need those fingers there all the time. Being able to sing for longer periods of time without throat tension has been a blessing and makes singing so much more fun. I can't thank you enough!

@Victoria-Victorious 3 года назад

You can do it! It just takes awareness and proper practice. I look forward to hearing about your progress. Thank you for posting!

@markiee13 3 года назад

@@Victoria-Victorious Hi Victoria! I thought I'd follow up on my progress. I've noticed my throat isn't as tight anymore as before. I've been using the exercises from your 'open up the vowel' video and that has helped a lot! I don't have to hold my finger around my throat anymore to open it up. However, I'm currently struggling with sustaining higher notes for a long time, like in the song Falling by Harry styles, the line after the second chorus that ends on a G#3. Is there any video you have made you recommend watching to train my voice to sustain those higher notes?

@Victoria-Victorious 3 года назад

Great to hear! As far as tensing up on the high notes, well, I cannot tell without seeing and hearing you. It could be anything from pushing up too much vocal weight (watch my videos on mixed voice), jaw tension, tongue tension, locking the breath, not enough support or all of the above! You could start with my video, Stop Straining on High Notes! 6 STEPS Right Here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLukxe-dsKg.html. That might help clarify some things!

@EmmaMorgan09 Год назад

I find sometimes I cough when I sing. Like my throat is catching.

@xUnimportantx3 3 года назад

Whenever I start to sing or practice i feels tight around my throat quickly. It's really hard for me to relax my throat when I sing even though im singing notes that are comfortable. I'm literally watching you videos for like half an hour in a row now and you really are a great teacher. I hope I'll manage to sing strain freebone day haha.

@Victoria-Victorious 3 года назад

First of all, it is GOOD that you notice this tension. That is the start! I would practice non-singing exercises like the spoken sirens in an easy part of your voice. Also humming. Do the exercises with the 3 fingers as I show in the video.

@JournalofaWarriorsJourney Год назад

I have been a squeezer most of my singing life LOL! And it’s sometimes hard to unlearn but not impossible! My poor folds & muscles took a beating for years! I love the humming but only recently learned there’s a difference between humming nasally or even just closed as opposed to on a “mmmmm” but with space in the back of the teeth. Victoria uses the “taller” visualization and I instantly yawn! That’s a good thing! How I do it is almost like “ohhllmm” but no “oh”, just “mmmm”. Feels much more open (taller) especially in the back. My lips buzz. Supported core breathing is super important too. It’s working wonders for me and the great thing is teachers like Victoria (and my personal/class teachers) give different methods to give us students the choice to see what works best. Keep at it! 👏🏻😃

You’re amazing Victoria, glad I stumbled onto your channel. So much wisdom and the gift of communicating it. I started having problems singing, even though I’ve had proper training and the things I’ve been taught align with what you communicate. I play guitar and sing for a living and sometimes I go through phases where I don’t realize I’m screwing up my vocal technique because I’m having to focus on the physical and mental challenges of doing two things at once. Sometimes the guitar parts are complicated In juxtaposition to the vocals, so keeping mindful about everything is a challenge. But luckily your voice is in my head now steadily coaching while play each tune, and it is helping immensely. 🙏

Hi Victoria, Thanks for your great advice. I've been singing over 40 yrs. Never warmed up until about 3 years ago. Well, of course, I'm paying the price now. I stopped singing for the past 2 years but I want to get back into it professionally and have been working on my voice. The doctors advised that I go to a voice teacher and and speech therapist. I've been to a speech therapist and I do vocal exercises like yours. She encouraged me to work with a straw and work with a vocal coach...) My main problem is that I need to clear my throat often (while I sing) Sometimes I have to cough. I crack too. (I have been diagnosed by specialists and I've been told that I have "habit" cough and my vocal cords don't close completely at one end. I believe it may be a type of vocal cord paralysis although the doc did not use that word) I think I've improved a little but of course, this is a big issue when I sing "live". Can you advice me? I have searched your RU-vids and haven't found anything like this exactly. But I'd love to get your professional advice. Or, is it too late for me?? Thank you!!

Thank you very much for these videos. I've been taking lessons for about a year now. Me and my teacher have been attempting to fix my tightness since the beginning without much luck. My chest voice has improved a lot and I've managed to get into mixed voice but it's been described as very "heady". I am unable to actually sing in head voice or falsetto without completely locking up with tightness. My teacher is very good but he is young and somewhat inexperienced, he's 19 and I'm 18. He has a degree and is classically trained but I think the experience you have is unattainable without age as you have had more time to develope your teaching. I guess this was a long way of saying I appreciate what you do. Thank you.

@elizabeth_ross_ 10 месяцев назад

I play a Japanese bamboo flute (the shakuhachi). I used these techniques because I'm tensing my throat while playing my flute. I get throat sounds, and my teacher can tell it's affecting my tone. I sang octave slides enough to hear and feel the difference between when I was tensing and not tensing. Then I tried to mimic the feeling of not tensing when playing my flute. I alternated between singing slides and playing octave jumps on my flute. Sing, play, sing, play. This made a huge difference in my tone, I had no throat sounds, and now I think I can actually tell when I'm tensing. Thank you so much! Before your video, I was struggling with not being able to achieve the body awareness to not tense while playing. Now I think playing without tensing is achievable if I continue to retrain myself with your exercises.
