I’ve always wanted to be able to sing the odd aria or two, just for my own
pleasure, not professionally, however I’ve never quite had the confidence
to go to classes so Vic’s video was a God-send for me. I love his relaxed
teaching style. Fantastic.
I’m not likely to get asked to perform at La Scala in the near future, but
I am having a lot of fun with the course.
He doesn’t look like your “typical” huge male opera singer, but my oh my he
can really throw out a note!!
I’m now on lesson 4. I’m just having the best fun doing the course. Not so
sure the rest of my family are enjoying it quite so much yet? But we’ll see
as the lessons progress!
I got the course for my son. He’s a heavy rock singer so I thought it would
be amusing! On the contrary, he said some of the techniques he’s learnt
have really helped even his hard rock singing.
With regard to the previous comment about rock singing. Good operatic
technique will benefit ANY kind of singer. Get the technical stuff learnt
no matter what genre of music you’re in.
I notice very few women commenting here. I got the initial lesson and am in
the process of ordering more. Its been a very definite help to me! Olivia.
It’s the first time I’ve ever found a distance learning course for singing.
Its a great idea for those of us a little too intimidated to go to a proper
class.
I’ve recently downloaded the free lesson from your site. It really has
helped me to strengthen my singing voice. And it was good fun. Well done
for a great, fun course.
Omg omg omg. Me so happy 😀
thank you !! that worked immediately!
I swear depressing the larynx with the tongue is a bad thing and doesnt
produce a true resonant sound..
I swear I admire your ability to not laugh during making this video. Thanks
for sharing :)
Thank you
Ok i will give it a try 😀 Thank you!
That is so freaky XD!
This really helped me more than I thought it would
I’ve always done this naturally. Odd to think that most people can’t do it
naturally.
I can sing opera but can never do the tongue rolls or other languages so I
just keep it to myself
Dude, shouldn’t your larynx be always neutral? What the hell, pushing it
down takes The ressonance out and it is harder To sing
This is wrong. Larynx should be neutral, not low. You are pressing down
with your tongue. One of the major misunderstandings in belcanto-community.
Don’t do that guys. If you wanna keep the larynx neutral try making a
bright – for your range low – “ah sound” without raising the larynx by
putting a little pressure on the low part of the diaphragm. When you go up
on a scale release into head voice by keeping as much of the diaphramatic
“tension” – the stomach is out. It should feel like holding back the air.
If you wanna learn more about this check out “glottal compression”
Roses stink. Most of them smell completely horrid, to me.
no! never let you tongue fill your laryngeal space!!!
