I have taught thousands of singers in all styles for 29 years, and have studied voice for 41 years! I always explain everything in everyday language, besides being entertaining! My videos give you quick fixes as well as long term solutions. SING BETTER NOW! Follow Victoria’s Victorious Vocal Tips!

Here are my other videos that I recommend to be able to apply support:

I studied with 3 different teachers and this is the first time I finally know how to breath support properly.

[dayanna.ferreiras]

Im in tears!! I’ve always had problems with my support and no matter what I tried I never knew how really supporting feels. After I tried your exercises I just sang a full song with relaxation and without getting out of pitch. I feel a big break thought in my voice. Thank

[cnaber]

The first teacher on youtube that I finally trust. I have learnt more from you than from 100s of other videos and 3 teachers. Thank you so much! You don't even know how much you're helping me right now developing as an artist.

[skepticsquirrel]

The Trills to Ah exercises were a huge game changer!! I think I’m finally learning how relaxed and rich singing should feel in my throat.

[kevinjones]

Finally, a teacher who demonstrates and explains perfectly the transition from breathing support exercises to actual singing! I have been doing endless breathing and warm-up exercises from various channels for weeks now but not really understanding how they would apply. I was hoping they would just miraculously improve my voice over time. Now, I understand it perfectly thanks to you, Victoria. It will take a lot of practice, but now I know how to practice effectively.

I've heard so many people try to explain breath support to me, and your explanation is the only one that has worked. Most people either don't explain it in a way I understand, or what they say is just straight up wrong. I noticed such a difference after watching this and a few of your other breath support videos!

[rojoratatatata]

[Ludachris]

i think im learning more with you than my actual teacher...you give detail on how to do it, and specifically, my teacher doesnt she just tells me to breath...i really appreciate and love what you do, and will continue seeing your vids :)

[noahjohnson]

god I think I finally found the channel that gonna change my life 🥺🥺

[Apatheia]

Amazing tutorial! This saved my throat from injury while doing metal vocals, never realized how little breath support I had until I watched this. Bless you!

[lcwagers]

Really amazing stuff. I’ve been working with a great classical voice teacher who’s been doing it for 30+ years and have never trusted any of the so-called vocal coaches on YouTube like I do him. You’re the exception. You seem to have a great, informative, and applicable video about pretty much any vocal question I could have. I also appreciate that you always emphasize the importance of the whole body, and address issues of vocal health and longevity at every applicable moment. Thank you.

[liannarivera]

Girl…
I’ve always had breath support issues
No matter how many vocal coaches I look up and follow
I always end up singing from my throat!
This helped so much!! Thank you so so much!

[olaz]

I'm currently working on my singing through doing the beginners' singing lessons guide playlist. I already feel more in control. After watching your videos I realized I didn't even know how to breath. Thank you so much for this. After finishing your YouTube videos I will check your website to benefit even more. I've always loved music but never knew were to start to Thank you.

[MCYUTELAT]

Amen. Breath support is too alien to the new singer. No idea whatsoever. Thanks for dedicating a whole video on this. Very practical and informative. This is how it should be taught in the choir. Choir directors need to teach these ideas very smartly so as to present them simply, clearly, and effectively. Kudos and thanks!!! :D

[beautyspotty]

I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, you dont know what it means to me. I was ready to quit singing, now after a couple of months of training what you told I cant believe I can finally do what I always had problems with.

[janetmcdonald]

Your lessons have given me so much more confidence in my singing voice! I can’t, thank you enough!!🙏🏽💕

[ysa]

Wow... I'm only three videos in and I already feel so much better about my chances at improving and I'm SUPER EXCITED to continue! 💗 Thank you so much for all the effort and passion you've put into your channel, hope you get better soon 🥺

[idnaxtfb]

Omg I'm so shocked, I never thought I'd have all this power in my voice WHAAAT
OMG THANK U SO MUCH

[kevinmoores]

I'm with Skeptic Squirrel (below). That "trill to ah" exercise lit the bulb better than anything else I've seen and tried. That's just been added to my daily workout. Thanks. Now to find your larynx video.
