Thank you so so much!! I wish I found you before paying for a course that was in usd [super pricey converting cad to usd lol] I’ve finally discovered the correct terms for searching on YouTube. Then I just add your channel name and see what populates. Again, I wish I found you sooner and didn’t spend almost $1000 I didn’t even have. I’ll stick to your channel until I’m ready to invest more again.

Classic: Taller and darker VOWELS…drop jaw..leave more space between teeth
Pop: Shorter and brighter vowels ..breathe into space and sing
1) classical no microphone, pop uses microphone (more conversational and intimate)
2) classical more vibrato, pop is sometimes straight tone
3) more head blend in classical (fluty) vS chess blend
Pop thicker tone speech like
4) choice of vocal colours..every note must be a jewel
Pop sometimes more edge, ugly, sassy (resonance)
5) clean vocal fold closure in classical
Sometimes breathy in pop song
6) rifts and runs
Classical has less, original melody
Pops transpose,

I’m not even a minute into this video and I already love this woman

[LucaAnamaria]

As a crossover artist, I love this! Such a great summary. The only other thing I would add is that classical phrases often require way more air, whereas contemporary music typically does not need as big of a breath to carry the tune.

[pattyn.]

Victoria, you should make a video with you singing a full song. Yiu have such a beautiful voice I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this!. PLEASE!.

[fireinateacup]

I've always had a particular ability for musical theatre, because there's often vibrato and range but also powerhouse moments. I can't sing pop for shit (the "spoken" sound and constant belting and usually limited range), and classical isn't intense enough for me.

[maluisabelen]

Thank you for sharing your techniques in singing...God bless...

[davidwalsh]

I very much appreciate your continued emphasis, without criticisms, of the different way(s) of singing 'pop' and 'classical' genres. Your approach has given me several things to think about and listen for. I like that. To my mind (IMHO) the only classical singers I think sort of got the idea (at least sometimes) were: Tito Schipa; Richard Tauber; Mario Lanza, Giuseppe di Stefano; Luigi Alva, Fritz Wunderlich and Jonas Kaufmann in his album about the inter-war popular radio tenors. And Barbara Cook and Eileen Farrell! Excellent video. Oh...and John McCormack.

Add a good producer to this techniques and you are a star...I saw that with my little sister. this other guy "Lezina J". He makes her very nice songs. Said she found her right here on Youtube. don't know how they do things but she loves to sing even more. Thank you Youtube guys. All of you deserve more.

[aureliomartinez]

Victoria thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us Have a nice weekend

[flav]

Finally I’ve found the right channel for me! 🥰 Thanks for this, the video was so great! I’m interested in both of classical and pop singing and I have always heard and ”known” there are so many relevant differences but I’ve never been able to get hold of it all. You were the first one that explained things clearly and thoroughly without overdoing it so that the tone of the video would get arrogant or boring. Loved it! ❤

[johnwilliams]

You are a wonderful teacher and I thank you.

[shirleyannleungyii]

Hi Victoria, I am super impressed with your course. ❣ It is effortlesst to follow and exactly what I need for practice. Baka may pag-asa ako. Kahit matanda 😸

[lmclrain]

thanks for the video, I just subbed and liked. Keep it up

[martinrogan]

Its important that you know that when you sing classical style is safer for your voice and you can sing longer even when you get older, whereas the ones who sing pop usually don't last longer than 20 years because there is more strain on the larynx and vocal chords. So try to learn classical singing first then step into pop if you like it.
