Breath Support vs Strain - LOCKING THE VOICE?

[davidwalsh]

I like these 'common mistakes' videos -helps me learn ways I might go wrong. For me, appoggio provides a steady and strong stream of air to move the vocal folds without tensing up in the larynx, throat or anywhere in their vicinity. When I get tired, it's in a band around my abdomen or in my lower back and not in my throat. And those breathing muscles can be strengthened and kept strong. (I am keeping in mind your point about being able to talk about appoggio but not doing it so your videos also serve as both reminder and encouragement.) Please keep posting!

I am here to thank you because a few weeks ago i found out about your channel and i always had trouble going above A 4 but after practicing with proper tongue and jaw placement that you taught i am now able to reach G5 in my head blend easily .
I am so happy yet shocked of how effective a simple placement can be all thanks to you, you are my hero .

Underrated video, I recommend everyone to keep watching this video regularly as it reminds our body to keep up the right technique rather than watching it once and having half of the techniques in mind!

[roberthughes]

Serious vocal technique and you make it simple and fun. This could not be a truer statement. Another fantastic video, keep them coming, It’s appreciated. You are truly a gifted professional.

[puravida]

Thank you Victoria, very good vocal advice. Now I now you just didn't get up this morning and decided to make a YouTube video on vocal exercises. ❤

[emmanuelmanzyzarine]

Can you be my vocal teacher? I'm looking for a vocal teacher all over YouTube and I watched tones of them but when I come across your channel I finally made up my mind.

Dear Victoria! (My question is at the end of this text)

Your teaching style is absolutely the example to follow for any personal singing teacher out there. I've just started to learn how to sing and my inspiration varies from classical music to death metal (No, death metal isn't about agressivity). I play the guitar, so I think I have some musical-sense.
I also want to learn how to scream and growl, and I practice singing everyday for at least 30 minutes, thanks to you.

My question is: When should I start to learn how to scream and growl, at least what knowledge should I acquire?

Love from Hungary :)

These videos are so informative and helpful. Thanks, Victoria!!!

[davidthornber]

Thank you so much Victoria. Sheer magic with crystal clear explanations. :-)

[davidzubiria]

I have seen a lot of videos and also started to take singing classes but this is the first time I finally get clearly the idea behind this.

[wynverea]

Thank you for this amazing video! Learned a lot

[GeneoVanEngers]

Thanks for expelling this I always feel I'm supporting but it's good to know if you are or not.

[merlisist]

It’s working!!!! I’m beginning to improve!!!! P.x

[ijakeme]

I noticed laying flat on my back on the floor is helping me understand the technique better.

[DiverBand]

All great information explained very well and demonstrated well with great personality. I’ve been singing for 45 years and I can only speak from my own point of you. The one thing I have never liked about singing and vocal technique is that it is very ambiguous. It is not black or white. And that for me has always been very frustrating. I don’t like gray areas when it comes to certain things. And honestly, if you have to sit down and think about everything that she is saying, you stand a very good chance of having a nervous break down. Vocal technique and learning can absolutely drive you nuts

Hello.

for Appoggio are the lower abdominals supposed to draw slowly in whilst the upper push slowly out? I've heard other singing teachers say this but i'm not sure if that's what you're teaching? Not sure if you'll even see this Victoria but an answer would be much appreciated!
