How to Sing Vibrato
Vibrato in singing is an oscillation of a sustained note which runs between two different pitches.
When you use vibrato in singing, it should come very naturally and without too much force. You should sing vibrato without straining your voice.
You need to relax all of the different parts of your body that are connected to the production of sound in your voice: head, neck, abdomen and shoulders. You should breathe appropriately and start off with notes that are not too high for you.
It is also very important to keep your posture straight to be able to produce the sound from your diaphragm and not from your throat.
When you first start, it is best to try imitating other singers and pay attention to what they are doing exactly. Little by little you will form your own style, taking from the skill of the other singers that you are listening to.
We can see an example of vibrato using the piano. Start by quickly and alternately playing two notes that are next to each other on the keyboard. Sing the notes at the same time as you are playing them and continue increasing the speed.
Another exercise that you can do is stand up and say “ahh” while pressing your hands up and down quickly on your abdomen. You will notice the sensation and sound that is made in your voice. Eventually you will not need to use your hands anymore to produce this sound.
This is like singing two consecutive pitches like the sound of an ambulance, but even more rapidly.
Another way to do this is to play the tempo with your foot, which is commonly done when you hear a song, play music, or sing. Each time that you step with your foot, emphasize the higher note with your voice. When you lift your foot, sing the lower note with a little less emphasis. Do this many times and increase the speed. Move your foot faster and faster at the same time while the notes start to oscillate as you sing.
Remember not to exaggerate your vibrato too much when you are singing. It should not be too easily noticed. The vibrato should not be the main focus of attention for the audience. It should be subtle and give shape to and beautify the song. It should not be the principle motive when you sing.
Most likely, when you start practicing vibrato you will do it in a very intentional way. It will be even a little bit forced. But if you are consistent with your practice, vibrato will become a part of your singing habits. After a while of practicing, it will come out naturally. Don’t get frustrated if it is not perfect at first. This takes quite a bit of time and a lot of practice.
Once you get good at vibrato and do it naturally, your singing will sound more professional and you will have more confidence when you sing.
