Always good! Always balanced! I spent my life “tanking up” and my high notes were always strained and restricted in pitch. Relaxing and trusting has made much difference!! Thanks much Victoria! It’s so much more fun now and I am 70 years old and my singing is better than ever. My joy has increased and I feel hope as I go forward. God bless you Victoria for sharing this wisdom with all of us!!

This is absolutely the topic that confounds so many of us. I was taught to keep the ribs from collapsing and uncoupling the lower core from the upper vocal tract. When have a set with punchy tunes, my lower core is bouncing like crazy, but my throat is generally relaxed.

The exercises were new but I knew the principles already because I've been paying attention these past three years! I liked the video.

Since the February master's class, my breath support has improved significantly. This also improved my health in several other ways. This breathing is the most important element in the vocal system.

I started playing folk and spanish guitar a year ago, i'm 80 but have music and beat in my body. I am looking for my "Voice" switching from different chords and unable to find the right one. With the way you explain, i believe to find it in a near futur.
Merci André

LOVE this video. My first voice teacher over 50 years ago had me bending over and breathing, it's awesome to rediscover this now that I want to recover singing.

[lakegirlroxy]

You Victoria are one special Gift, love this lesson! Thank you

[olderendirt]

With the possible vocal chord paralysis and spasms I found that bending seemed to ease my them, but I ran out of air at the last note or two. I think I can work with that a little more to help it. I did have trouble getting the pitch to match what I know it's supposed to sound like. Sometimes it's there and other times no, but there may not be anything I can do about that. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[RadoslawFiejdasz]

It's easy to copy this to life especially spiritual - You can't do this too strong or too weak, like two bad borders of life. Thank You :)

I Love the way how you explain the things to singers
