  We consider a holographic model of QCD in the Veneziano limit of a large
number of colors $N_c$ and flavors $N_f$ but fixed $x=N_f/N_c$ (V-QCD). The
model exhibits a first order deconfined but chirally broken transition,
followed by a second order chirally restored transition in the $\mu-T$ plane
for a range of plausible holographic parameters. We study the quasi-normal mode
spectrum, and derive the pertinent vector and axial spectral functions across
the transition regions. The pole masses, susceptibilities, diffusion constants
and electric conductivity are also discussed. In particular, the pole masses
are found to survive the deconfining transition, to quickly dissolve in the the
chirally restored phase by developing substantial widths. The flavor electric
conductivities arise sharply in the transition region. The flavor
susceptibility is shown to be consistent with the one derived from bulk
thermodynamics.
