Hi everyone! Quick comment! This video is a way for people to learn how to oscillate their voices to get the feel for vibrato. This is by no means the only way to learn, and for many of you it won't work welll! For many it will be, but probably not for everyone out there! If you are looking to develop a strong, inside-out understanding of vibrato, you would benefit more from a personal lesson with a teacher who can evaluate and understand your voice specifically and make recommendations. Thanks!
Hi! I just came across your videos and my thoughts is that you are a nice person and very encouraging. I'm subscribing in hope that you keep making videos.
@prosinginglessons great video! i have a question about speeding up the bounces. im at 4 per second but i can go any higher. any ideas how to speed it up?
That's actually the premise of my entire program, trying different techniques and using what works best for your voice, because of course, not everything will! Your voice is unique to you and what works for that person may not work for you! The bottom line is KEEP TRYING and never give it up as long as it makes you happy. Good luck everyone and have a great weekend!
And I also apologize if in a previous post I sounded a little harsh when talking about the idea of vibrato magically happening to your voice over time. I had a visitor post some really hurtful and abusive things towards me that morning, and he's now been dealt accordingly. My feelings get hurt like anyone else's! I love all the comments, I love how SO MANY of you are having success with it, and I'm sorry to those who don't, but not all techniques work for all people! Find what works for YOU. :)
The breath support whenever you're singing should always be strong, you should never be singing "from your throat" or forcing your voice. Those are the things that can cause eventual damage. Singing should be a natural extension of your speaking voice- as in, you shouldn't be trying to force out a certain tone or volume that causes hoarseness or discomfort. Also, sometimes a break from it and a re-visit at a later date is a great thing. Come at it with a fresh mind! <3
Hi everyone! Great job to everyone who has been working on it, it's fun to add it in your songs! Some really good points made, like over-use! I'm always reminded of a Simpson's episode where they're at a baseball game or something and a singer starts the anthem in daytime, and finishes it at night because of all the vibrtato, runs and other things! Too funny. Know which one I mean? Anyway, keep practicing your scales and exercises and you'll improve!
I taught myself how to do it when i was about 10. I watched people doing it on TV so I copied and now I can do sort of. It sounds really nice but it doesn't sound that professional or anything. I remember that I was singing in the choir (I was 11) and I did the virbreto and the boy beside me said 'Are you cold because you keep on making these shivering noise when you sing?' I got really embarassed and didn't say anything!
What i hate is this overdone showboating these singers do. To me it just ruins the song. I hear it alot nowadays. Even while singing the National Anthem. Woman especially like doing it for some reason?
Thank you. The siren trick really worked for me! I have been trying for months to get vibrato and I hadn't been successful. I even worked hard using Brett Mannings "Master Vibrato" program and for whatever reason I just couldn't produce a consistent vibrato. I think this technique works because you are already oscillating pitch at a good speed (I used a metronome to time 5 -6 oscillations per second). Then once you remove the scaffolding (the ee sound and then the vowel) you are left with vibr
I was wondering what that was called. I feel when I use vibrato it sounds more forced than natural; plus I feel I don't really change my pitches that effectively. Hopefully this will help :)
thank you for making this vid! im a tenor one in high school, last year i even made it to all state, but when conductors ask me to add more depth to solo parts, i get really self conscious because i have NO vabrado what so ever, never have, which is nice for many pieces, but it really limits my ability to present a really enjoyable solo to the audience and truly make a song my own. then i found this vid, you've given me a solid exercise to work off of, thanks! :)
Im gonna try this ;D im pretty sure I have vibrato, but I never really paid attention to it before. I didn't know it could help :P I'll let you know :)
I tried the WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO WEOO thing, and when my mom passed by me, the look on her face showed that she thought that I'd gone crazy.....
When you are speaking, does your voice naturally oscillate? NO. If it was something that your voice would just naturally begin to do, wouldn't it affect your speaking voice as well?
And most of you have been speaking for well over 15 years, I'm sure! Think about this you guys, all we're trying to do here is give you an exercise to learn to oscillate your voice.
Vibrato is just an easy oscillation of your voice, so this is an exercise to practice so you can learn to do it faster. That's all.
U're right and u're wrong. U can say that vibrato is just an oscillation. Yes, it is. But these oscillation can come naturally or artificially. Yes, NATURALLY! And this nature has nothing common with speaking - don't compare. The real vibrato, which doesn't harm youre voice, comes from good voice support. Other forms of artificial vibrato, which u practice, trying to oscillate consciously with u're mouth, chest or throat - are not natural forms of vibrato.
@MrOs1986 I respectfully disagree. :) I was trained in opera with private lessons, and trained for close to 20 years growing up Breath support is the largest factor, and I'm well educated in it! :) I believe oscillating your voice is a stylistic technique that you make a conscious decision to add to the end of your notes when you want that effect. You can turn it on and off as you wish, and that's all I mean. Some may have had a different experience! Everyone is different. Thanks!
Hey there, I worked on the delineation of my singing and I'm able to sing fairly well with or without vibrato and it sounds dulcet enough to suit my tastes. This video does help in aiding me sing with vibrato fairly better and I'll give it that, as I can see improvements. So you're saying that if I conscientiously practice on a daily basis, it'll eventually arrive "naturally"? Does it also mean that the ease of oscillating my voice perfectly means that I've figured out how to sing with vibrato?
Very funny video!! ;D but I don't agree with you .. when u say Susan Boyle's good one!! jeje it ain't at all huhuhuh I really like your vibratos lessions
That's good for OOO sounds, but what about for when your just singing words that don't have ooo in it. When i listen back to myself trying to sing vibrato on some notes it just sounds shaky :/
You will not just wake up one day with it. If that was to happen, wouldn't it happen to your speaking voice as well? Of course not! You have to figure out how to oscillate your voice by either waiting years to figure it out on your own, or TRAINING your voice to do it. Then, you apply it to your songs wherever you want to, just like you would any other stylistic technique. I've said it a THOUSAND times, this video is just to train your voice to oscillate. Good luck!
There is a massive misunderstanding with the term "vibrato will come naturally" issue. Hear this: Vibrato is a stylistic technique that you apply to your voice when you choose to. The actual physical act is an oscillation of your voice. This video is a series of steps to get you to train your voice to oscillate. Eventually after years of practice you could figure out how to oscillate on your own. THAT is what they all mean by learning naturally. It doesn't just magically happen.
@florxiriod28 Thank you very much! It's nice to hear of someone who makes sense of this, because so many people read FAR too much into it and confuse themselves. Like I've said a ton of times, vibrato is an oscillation of your voice, but it is something that you have to consciously decide to do! When you're speaking, does your voice have vibrato? Of course not! Neither when you're singing! But if you decide to make your voice oscillate, it will whenever you want it to. Simple as that. Cheers!!
@samyp1412 So what you're saying is you eventually figured out how to do it. That's great! My argument, is that vibrato is not something that just happens without you making a decision to use it. To say, "it comes naturally" is to say that you've figured out how to make your voice oscillate. Your voice has to complete an oscillating action for it to happen, and people cannot do this on their own. They need steps to train their voices to do it, and that's all this video is.
hello when doing eeee sound it sound bouncing but not like vibrato - it is more like trmble ' ugly tremble - can you hep me with that? I am not that voice gifted ( read as I am voice cursed) - but I wish I could sing at least smth easy
Once you get good at step 5, is it a natural vibrato? I thought vibrato was a free oscillation of relaxed vocal cords; this seems more like a controlled rhythmic pumping of the vocal cords.
@pgreens It's not a pumping of the vocal cords, once you get the feel of it you'll find that it's easy and effortless. These steps are intended to get people in the feel of vibrato because so many people are told that it will just "happen" over time. I don't know anyone who has never tried to do it, who just magically woke up one day with it. I hope everyone reads that and understands that it's not logical to think it will just "appear".
A few months ago, I was singing with no vibrato at all! When I decided to take online lessons, they didn't work. But YOU, oh my God, in just a few days of doing this I already could hear a little vibrato in my voice, and that was months ago!
Now, I can sing my favorite songs without being embarrassed!
Hi everyone, to all of you who think that vibrato will just come naturally- I'm a classically trained singer for over 20 years- believe me when I say you can control it. It's as simple as oscillating your voice and doing this causes no damage, at all. You're more likely to hurt your voice yelling at a sporting event than doing this. Just never force your voice, that's what causes damage. There is nothing marvelously complicated about this, it's just your voice bouncing on a note. :)
Thanks so much for this tip! Its make it sound so hard to train a vioce to operate like that, I hope ill be able to do It one day, btw, were you a naturally born singer or you took vocal training?
Hey there, please reply. I can do the last step without ease, but should I still do the 1st-5 step? Does this mean I can control my vibrato without me knowing it? I'm going to a voice lesson teacher on a week or so, but I'm trying to practice now. :] Thanks, your answer would be much appreciated!
My choir teacher, who is an excellent singer, says that a vibrato is natural and will come as your voice matures. I think it is unhealthy to do it on your own, you might pull your vocal muscle.!
I can never sing with vibrato and so far what I've learned is that when you do you have to sing with your diaphragm and not your throat but when I try this I feel like I'm singing with my throat :( I just can't do it :'0
I've just heard several old metal songs sung by Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson etc.. All i did was analyzing what they do in oder to achieve their voice. Today i can freely sing using vibrato in all sorts of notes.. Vibrato makes your voice sound so amazing. It's just like you sing straight from your heart.
How long does this method would show significant progression from flat voice in average? I tried to do this, but I feel its only focusing on mouth movement on getting the vibrato. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
@DeeMusique You betcha, keep working on it! So many people think there is so much more to it than there actually is... and that's often because someone ELSE told them it was difficult!
Before, when i was singing i felt like i was rattling alittle, now that i learned this i feel like it sounds much better when i try vabrato! thank you SO much
Elisha Rae, pardon me if I were to misspell your name. I have a query and I hope that you can help.
When I'm using the 2-none pitch siren technique for acquiring vibrato in your voice and whenever I try to speed up the oscillations between the 2 notes, my voice seems to have a tendency to "combine" the 2 notes into 1 and it doesn't sound dulcet al all.
Are there any methods to counteract this problem? Am I doing something wrong?
Or do I just need to practice some more like in the video?
i cannot thank you enough for these! I have a solo coming up for a competition and I'm really scared because i don't have vibrato and my voice wavers a lot and it seems like there's m=nothing I can really do about it. Is there any way I can stop that?
I love your easy-to-follow video on how to sing with Vibrato, and the results are astounding, but I have a query.
Whenever I try to speed up the oscillations, the 2 notes in the siren tend to combine into and sound like a single note. As a result, my head tends to tilt upwards and my lips shrivel a lil' bit, therefore producing a lower, softer sound.
Is there any way to counteract this problem with methods? Or is it normal upon trying out for the first time and requires practice to overcome?
@Mirventus it sounds like you need to wqork on the delineation a little... maybe you weren't quite ready to speed it up yet, that's the hardest part. Anyone can sing wee ooo wee ooo but learning to bounce your voice quickly can be challenging. Again, keep working at it and in time you'll see improvement.
wow, this is an interesting way to learn it! I saw a vid telling me to gently press against my diaphram repeatetively (sp?) and itll just come natural. it worked a little, but this way gives a MUCH clearer way of knowing what vibrato actually is and how its produced. all in all, thanks!
Thanks everyoone for the wonderful comments, keep up all the great work! Once again, don't over-think it, vibrato is an EASY thing to do. I've been singing in opera, commercial, musical theater, in bands and teaching for over 20 years and I'm telling you this is really all there is to it. Just keep practicing if you're having trouble and you'll get it!
This is tricky. I can sing notes perfectly, but man, you must be pretty talented or have perfect technique to sing vibrato. Can't seem to nail it. Guess I'll have to practice a lot more.. :S
@nbkay69 I don't know if this will help but even "chest" voice always has some measure of head voice in it. You always need to keep the little door (muscle) at the top (above the roof of the mouth where you make a humming "e" sound open. Vibrato is a gentle, natural unforced or made spinning of air that is almost not even felt. I always think of my singing "apparatus" as an instrument made up of a column from my diaphragm going straight up over the roof of the mouth. Sincerely, Sam : )
thank you very much for posting this video. it really helped a lot. i've seen some vibrato lessons here in youtube and your tutorial is the best. thanks again and by th way, you have a great smile. God bless!!! :))
OMG When you did that speed up of the ooo ooo ooo, I WAS LIKE OMG how did you do it so fast. . . well I guess I gotta practice then!!! This is my new mission for the new years. :]
thanks alot ! I just tried it and it helps alot. IT MADE A BIG IMPROVEMENT.
the vibrato was my only problemm THANK YOUUU A LOOTT. and can you put on a video for the sopranos who would like to sing with a low voice.. cause I always try but its really hard. i almost struggle to sing with a low tone.
@JCF22Lyoko You know what, that actually can work sometimes... I have a student who SWEARS by that! It can be helpful to shake your hand while getting used to it. It's a "learning by association" thing. Good luck!
Excellent vid..thanks for posting this informative piece on vibrato. You really made it easier to grasp what the voice needs to do in order to "vibrate". Wow i have alot of work ahead of me.
Hopefully my Husband doesn't judge me too much as i siren away like a police car.

I don't know anyone who has never tried to do it, who just magically woke up one day with it. I hope everyone reads that and understands that it's not logical to think it will just "appear".

This helped me so much!
A few months ago, I was singing with no vibrato at all! When I decided to take online lessons, they didn't work. But YOU, oh my God, in just a few days of doing this I already could hear a little vibrato in my voice, and that was months ago!
Now, I can sing my favorite songs without being embarrassed!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi everyone, to all of you who think that vibrato will just come naturally- I'm a classically trained singer for over 20 years- believe me when I say you can control it. It's as simple as oscillating your voice and doing this causes no damage, at all. You're more likely to hurt your voice yelling at a sporting event than doing this. Just never force your voice, that's what causes damage. There is nothing marvelously complicated about this, it's just your voice bouncing on a note. :)

Hey there, please reply. I can do the last step without ease, but should I still do the 1st-5 step? Does this mean I can control my vibrato without me knowing it? I'm going to a voice lesson teacher on a week or so, but I'm trying to practice now. :] Thanks, your answer would be much appreciated!

My choir teacher, who is an excellent singer, says that a vibrato is natural and will come as your voice matures. I think it is unhealthy to do it on your own, you might pull your vocal muscle.!

I can never sing with vibrato and so far what I've learned is that when you do you have to sing with your diaphragm and not your throat but when I try this I feel like I'm singing with my throat :( I just can't do it :'0

Right now i'm doing everything your doing and its helping (like a lot) but its still a bit far from your vibrato ? help
abdulred44 11 months ago
I've just heard several old metal songs sung by Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson etc.. All i did was analyzing what they do in oder to achieve their voice. Today i can freely sing using vibrato in all sorts of notes.. Vibrato makes your voice sound so amazing. It's just like you sing straight from your heart.
stovnergutt 11 months ago
How long does this method would show significant progression from flat voice in average? I tried to do this, but I feel its only focusing on mouth movement on getting the vibrato. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Elisha Rae, pardon me if I were to misspell your name. I have a query and I hope that you can help.
When I'm using the 2-none pitch siren technique for acquiring vibrato in your voice and whenever I try to speed up the oscillations between the 2 notes, my voice seems to have a tendency to "combine" the 2 notes into 1 and it doesn't sound dulcet al all.
Are there any methods to counteract this problem? Am I doing something wrong?
Or do I just need to practice some more like in the video?

phatnatyouknow 1 year ago
I love your easy-to-follow video on how to sing with Vibrato, and the results are astounding, but I have a query.
Whenever I try to speed up the oscillations, the 2 notes in the siren tend to combine into and sound like a single note. As a result, my head tends to tilt upwards and my lips shrivel a lil' bit, therefore producing a lower, softer sound.
Is there any way to counteract this problem with methods? Or is it normal upon trying out for the first time and requires practice to overcome?
Mirventus 1 year ago
@Mirventus it sounds like you need to wqork on the delineation a little... maybe you weren't quite ready to speed it up yet, that's the hardest part. Anyone can sing wee ooo wee ooo but learning to bounce your voice quickly can be challenging. Again, keep working at it and in time you'll see improvement.

wow, this is an interesting way to learn it! I saw a vid telling me to gently press against my diaphram repeatetively (sp?) and itll just come natural. it worked a little, but this way gives a MUCH clearer way of knowing what vibrato actually is and how its produced. all in all, thanks!

BlackDiamondKiss 1 year ago
Thanks everyoone for the wonderful comments, keep up all the great work! Once again, don't over-think it, vibrato is an EASY thing to do. I've been singing in opera, commercial, musical theater, in bands and teaching for over 20 years and I'm telling you this is really all there is to it. Just keep practicing if you're having trouble and you'll get it!

i can't seem to sing with vibrato in chest voice...any suggestions?
nbkay69 1 year ago
@nbkay69 I don't know if this will help but even "chest" voice always has some measure of head voice in it. You always need to keep the little door (muscle) at the top (above the roof of the mouth where you make a humming "e" sound open. Vibrato is a gentle, natural unforced or made spinning of air that is almost not even felt. I always think of my singing "apparatus" as an instrument made up of a column from my diaphragm going straight up over the roof of the mouth. Sincerely, Sam : )
