Hey beginners i hope we make it into the music industry i have hope for us

[Dust_Thou_Art]

I’ve always been so self conscious about my lack of natural singing ability because my whole family is extremely vocally talented so I’ve never been able to sing without hating my voice. Im starting to find my sound and you’re such a great help. Thanks so much for making these lessons free to everyone. God Bless You.

I’m 5 seconds into her talking and I already love it. She seems fun, passionate, and honest. That’s just from the first seconds 😂 but don’t worry, I’m gonna watch the whole video and probably more!

I love singing but my voice is really bad so I am trying some beginner lessons in YouTube

[KimbaMariNJ]

I was in the elementary school choir and many of the things you teach I completely forgot, since I stopped singing 30 years ago. This will help me a lot. Due to a bad family I was prevented from singing. Now at age 38, I realize it's never too late to start over.

I am 76 years old and had given up on singing, even though I'd sung in a choir for many years. I have a tremor that affects my ability to turn pages, and I finally decided it was just too much. Then I watched a concert presented by women in their 60s, 70s and 80s. The music was amazing. Broadway and movie music, which was fun, and so different from the oratorios I was used to. I desperately wanted to try out for this group, and talked to my neurologist about getting a surgical procedure done to my brain that will stop the tremor. I would never have been brave enough, but I want the singing back in my life. It's bad enough that I can't play the piano any more, but if I can get the tremor fixed (it's not Parkinson's - it's essential tremor), I may even be able to play at least a little. I decided to watch your video in hopes that I can work on my voice in preparation for tryout time and be ready in August when the tremor is finally under control. Thank you for helping me believe that I can find that joy once again. I'm not willing to let it disappear from my life any longer.

I love how forward she is! I've always loved to sing but never knew how to start learning the right way. Thank you so much!

[art_strings]

I love how you said anyone with a healthy voice can sing. Can anxiety about how we sound affect our singing? I long to sing and have for years but I think this is my biggest problem.

“In the beginning we want freedom and ease!” Noted!! 🥰🙌🏼

[Anabana]

I am so excited and I will be watching all of your videos. The reason is that literally I received a miracle and got my voice back. I’m 58 and have smoked most of my life. For over 10 years my voice has been hoarse slowly getting worse. A few days ago I almost died twice because my breathing was blocked. I had emergency surgery and they removed a polyp that covered 3/4 of my trachea. I came out of surgery and the hoarseness was gone, I could breathe freely and I’ve been singing almost nonstop! I never was much of a singer, but for years I couldn’t sing at all, I could barely hum. I am so filled with thankfulness and joy that I can’t shut up. I figured this might make it bearable for people around me, lol. And I finally quit smoking! This is too great a gift to lose.

Thank you for this!! I am crying rn because this is really hitting me straight in my heart… I was denied the opportunity to learn to sing in HS. I wanted to learn so went to ask the choir teacher. She said okay let’s have a try out, but I had never sang before and I had to do it in front of a varsity singer. Well of course I did terribly and she said you have no range, no you can’t join the choir. I was shy in the first place and very obedient so never tried to advocate for myself. I just wanted to learn how to sing! I’ve been sad about it ever since so am incredibly excited to give this a try! Thank you, Victoria!!!

[Pcofwork]

I have always loved to sing! Just not in front of anyone, so I thought why not learn techniques during lockdown? Thank you so much for this video! And I'm going to continue learning from your videos.

[mikey]

I already hear an improvement in my voice after going through this video. Huge thanks, you're amazing!!!

[tinoortiga]

This lady is an angel. Thank you much !

I haven't sung since I was 11, i am 23 now, so i hope i can start loving music and singing again

[thumper]

Thank you for the info on the "Trills". I am a disabled veteran witha scar to the left side of my face including no upper left lip. Everyone always shows adn says to do the Lip trill, which I can not do. You said we can use our tongue or a "V" or a "Z"... I can do the tongue. Everyone else made me feel like this was an important exercise that I can not do, you showed me other options adn gave me hope. TY.

[frozstyb]

I love the fact that your giving people the tools to sing. Rather than force them to sing a certain way. The third point at the end is a great example of why I love singing.. it's true if its not fun you'll hate it. Put a smile on my face ^^. Thank you for the lesson

[dandelions]

😭😭😭 THANK U SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING WHOLE YOUTUBE BUT NO ONE WAS GIVING FREE LESSONS .... EVERYBODY WAS LIKE GIVING VOCAL WARM UPS AND SOME EXERCISE
YOU Are an angel 💜💜💜

[nouraelmeligy]

Thank you so much for posting free lessons, I'm really passionate about singing but it's hard to get my parents to pay for singing lessons since they're not the most supportive of my passion for it, So thank you so so much ❤❤❤❤
