  • I hate this technique - its so hard- cant I jus download vibrato skills?

  • expert village sucks!!! their tutorials are useless and totally wrong!

  • thats WAYYY wrong. its a natural thing for singers and singing straight tone isnt easy if your used to singing vibrato.... JUSSAYIN

  • This is a slow trill not vibrato, vibrato is an interuption in the air flow via glotis/chords or diaphragm and should NEVER alter the voice by a semi-tone as seen here........it's bollocks.

  • I try to hold a note for a long time, but no matter how hard I try it just doesn't happen. Just like changing notes fast, I can't do it.

  • I don't think he's saying you need to actually trill between two different notes, he's saying that doing this, if you're not lucky enough to have a natural vibrato, can help you recognize the right way to let in air in order for vibrato to occur. I think you guys need to calm down a bit haha.

  • Vibrato isnt somthing you can learn or teach..is somthing you can just do. For those of us who have vibrato it is difficult to explain how to do it because it is somthing that just comes naturally. Some people can discover how to do a vibrato but if it is somthing you have to concentrate on when your singing then its not worth even doing.

  • ehh it comes naturally when you just give it some soul ya know? its not hard, but at the same time, its not really teachable. You just have to feel it.

  • vibrato is never forced. It happens naturally, there is shaky vibrato, nervous vibrato, or Goat vibrato (David Hasslehoff in Jekyll and Hyde) ^_^

  • Roostie.com invites you to secure a free music profile on Roostie.com. A UK platform which will help unsigned artists and bands serious about succeeding and getting recognised. Every promotional effort counts so get yourself on Roostie too :)

  • YOU ARE WRONG. STOP IT!

  • yeah shut up im a kid and i sound better

  • @MayzonN doubt it

  • Shut up peeps,i grew up in opera,and this is what they told me.So just shut ur mouth!Yeah,Lola got ATTITUDE!Beat that shakira!(Dont ask...)

  • This is totally incorrect

  • incorrect, the speed of the vibrato is solely based on the individual and their individual instrument and their build as a person, their is no such thing as "ideal vibrato speed"

  • wow all of expert villages singing videos are incorrect

  • this is more of the vibrato you'll get from something like a stringed instrument, per se, a guitar, which of course the voice can implement quite well. while vocalists do do this, i don't think it's the vibrato most people are looking for. i was looking for a way to just vibrato the note, sustaining the same exact note but rely on my diaphragm/breath support, not necessarily my pitch.

    i think it's a great exercise what he put in the video though

  • please take this down!!! its just rewening peoples voices and lives. you are making a fool of your self. 

  • "ERIC ARCENAUX"

    IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY PRO COACH AVAILABLE ON YOU TUBE

    EVERYTHING ELSE IS SHIT

  • THIS IS THE FUCKING STUPIDEST THING IVE EVER HEARD....

  • @ChurBurras even though he is wrong, this exercise is a very good exercise and it doesn't ruin voices and especially lives. by saying this, you obviously are ruining your life which means, in the end, that your vocal technique is really bad and are looking to blame someone else instead of taking responsibility. all in all, it is very negative and you are not helping eric arceneux, in fact, you are doing a detriment to him because people are going to think he is as immature as you,

  • There are different types of vibrato and differing opinions on what it is. A lot of people think that a perfect vibrato has a fluctuation of a a quarter tone.

  • @vbooshy no

  • it takes me 3 secends to do 5

  • Once again, expert village fails.

  • 0:01

  • Ahahahahahahahahaha ahahahaha

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

    Ahahahahaha.

    Really, guys? Do you really think that this man is a singer?

  • ahahhahahaha "vibrato with clock"!!! ahahahahahahah!

  • I like this guy. Good stuff.

  • I don't care if it's incorrect - this helps me. Telling me the correct amount of air coming through while singing isn't going to help me achieve vibrato. Whenever I look for tips on how to do it, all I find is "get a voice coach." I can't afford a voice coach, so this guy is super helpful.

  • This is called trill, not vibrato. It was used a lot in the 16th century.

  • wow! i like when ppl argue and discuss something i don't really understand, but i still enjoy it

  • for how long do u hav to practice???

  • omg... please dont teach this =[... vibrato doesnt shift notes... it just depends on the loudness T_T so misleading =[ u almost tricked me damn it

  • What kind of camera and microphone are you using?

    

  • this is so misleading.... people gona end up being like tarzan...

  • @TheRebornjason hahah tarzan...this lesson maybe good for scaring people..haha!

  • i dont care what other people say about this person, it really helps me a lot :)

  • This is what creates a false vibrato. Real vibrato as said before comes with the right amount of air. Vibrato does not come over night and some people never even achieve natural vibrato. My vocal coach said its like letting the air spin in your head...its weird i know. But vibrato is not forced...this method of vibrato is going to cause tension...so please dont make this a habit as itll be hard to break.

  • @krisgirl990-tell me pl..i fell tht bounce sumtimes bt am unable to maintain it....i kinda hav it it cums sometimes...dissapears the other....so.....????do i hav it?how shud i control it?

  • @krisgirl990 THIS is wrong.. it IS something that can be taught and learned by anyone..  don't be an elitist ass

  • Where did you get your degree??? This information is COMPLETELY WRONG. Please stop giving people incorrect information. What you're teaching people is how to get a WOBBLE. A wobble is an oscillation between pitches which mean you cant sustain a specific pitch. It has nothing to do with singing TWO different pitches. If you were truly trained classically you'd know that vibrato is a natural function of the voice and not something you "work on"

  • @tapout42 i agree except that "not something you work on"

    one can actually practice vibrato o_o

  • @tapout42 If it's a natural function of the voice, then how does one acquire it? If it's something that cannot be "worked on." Does one just muse to the vocal gods until divine inspiration occurs? Give me a fucking break...

  • @TheJapanboy1 its actually oscillation of overtones. If you produce sound correctly the sound will naturally start to vibrate through your resonators. You obviously have no training or singing background. Please refrain from commenting on things that you have no knowledge of.

  • It's "Sine" as in a sine wave. :-)

  • This is hilarious

  • It's not over till the fat lady sings, or i guess it's a man in this case

  • YOUR WRONG!!!!! vibrato is a natural spin of the air in the mask of your face. ITS NAUTRAL THING do not listen to him and push it you will just rewen your voice and you will sound awful and raspy like him! because he is an awful singer

  • @Cbabies24 yeah right but he has master degrees in music study so he knows what he's talking about. read the description it says expertvillage. so he didn't come around looking yesterday

  • @23viktor23 your right!! because you know soo much about me and how i have my masters in opera too! sooo yeah :)

  • @Cbabies24 so try and learn from him instead of starting to diss from day 1

  • @Cbabies24 its ruin not rewen 

  • @tex3745 thanks for letting me know

  • goodnes,tht really help.

  • @bammer180and1 i hope that is a joke

  • eso parece más un trino q un vibrato

  • Comment removed

  • Fast billygoat vibrato sounds like shit and is very annoying,so practice a more mild natural sounding vibrato using this very technique.Eventually you will have a smooth natural vib without even having to think about it! Start your half step trill at a slow tempo and speed it up as it starts to feel natural. Once you have this down you may want to narrow it to less than a half step in pitch if it sounds too fake or operetic for the style of music you plan to sing over. Hope this helps. IT WORKS

  • Alot of you genius's commenting on this man don't have a clue about teaching a person to have a natural sounding vibrato! There are two types of vibrato not just one. Pitch or oscillating vib and dynamic vib. Pitch is the true natural/pleasing sound. Dynamic vib sounds very amaturish and un-natural.Pitch vib is what this exercise trains.He is exactly correct in this method to train a boring mono-tone voice into natural pitch/osc. vib. This man is actually the best coach on youtube,vids r2 short

  • have any of you noticed that all these expert village people suck every last one of them its a fact

  • propper vibrato should be loud to soft being the same not, not singing sharp flat sharp flat

    but im sure this technique works for you so right on, good video

  • buggered if u ain't got a watch on ya

  • Ang pangit ng boses!

    Anyways, what's the difference between vibrato and tremolo? Pls, somebody answer in layman's terms.

  • tremolo is basically very sudden and sounds basically like a billy goat. If you try to Baaa like a goat. That is what tremolo is. Vibrato sounds more like a sin curve and flows from the louder point to the softer one.

  • Air moving across the cords creates a vibration which is pitch itself, not the vibrato. Like the bow on the cello is causing only the pitch. The finger on the string makes the oscillation that we call vibrato. The vibrato is a learned muscular action caused by muscles of the larynx. If it were truly automatic, then all populations would present vibrato and it would be identical among genetic populations, which it isn't. It's identical among musical cultures and is therefore a learned behavior.

  • 0:30 HAHAHAHA looks like a sliding exercise!!! not a vibrato......it was like if some ghosts where coming out from the graveyard!

    by the way.....you cannot make a vibrato doing an exercise to develop the trill.....which is something TOTALLY different.

  • 5 points to you comment...LMFAO!!!

  • This isn't right . . . My teacher is an opera singer and her mother was an opera singer and she's been singing since she was 7. She said that real vibrato or natural vibrato is created when the correct ammount of air is passing through your vocal chords resulting in the vibration. If you have too much air or not enough it will not vibrato. Then she said there's False vibrato which is the wrong way in which it vibrates in ur gut. vibrato has nothing to do with singing two different notes.

  • I agree with you, I think this guy is teaching the bel canto technic.

  • @darkangel525352 your obviously misunderstood ur teacher man. thats wrong

  • @darkangel525352 yupp. what your teach said is true, i dunno what this guy is trippin about lol

  • @darkangel525352 its true what youre saying but maybe to learn vibrato its an easy way. So when you become better with singing, youre vibrato changes also. Im not sure because im not a singing teacher. Do you think im right? that singing two different notes very fast will cause something like vibrato but it just has to improve a bit. (im not English so my english can be very bad...)

  • @darkangel525352

    Yeah I am a musical theatre student. My vocal teacher told me there is Two proper ways to vibrato and the false way. The Musical Theatre/ Pop singing way come from the larynx (look up the work of joe estille), and the Opera way comes from the gut, the abdominal muscles. the note should NEVER move when singing vibrato this is the false way.

  • @darkangel525352 True but this technique is a good one to help people begin to achieve true vibrato.

  • That might be the case in classical singing, but otherwise (in pop/jazz/soul etc.) it's all about where you place the voice. You'll have a natural vibrato when you place it right. You can make the vibrato even with the slighest amount of air.

  • @darkangel525352 WHOA DUDE, your comment actually helped me MUCH better with my vocal singing, its about air going through your vocal chord too OMMGGEE !!

  • I've been reading the comments and i have concluded that you just gotta keep singing loud and clear to develop a truly unique and natural vibrato, am I right?

    Once I can vibrato, does it become like a good habit??

  • The best sounding Vibrato is the Natural!

  • You just bullshit your way through life - any sensible person listening to you attempt to sing should know instantly that you know F**** all about singing!

  • @CelesteVoce I really dont know why stupid people vote this negative, just cos he used bad words??

    ITS THE PURE TRUTH!!! This guy in the video is an ignorant of singing, and this tip must be one of the worst I ever listened, along with "air is not important during singing" HAHAHAHHA.....oh my!.......

  • hey thanks for the advice.

    but some people get stuck with one vibrato mode, each line is the same...

    thats the worst for me as they lack color

  • thats my cus matt

  • it doesn't have to be a one note interval, because that would be a trill, in fact it should be very slight change of tune.

  • Comment removed

  • I live in bahrain and i am indian...

    there are no vacal training skools here but i really wanna sing !

    ppl tell me i have a good voice and i wanna improve it!!

    can anyone help me?

  • i'm really curious , is that mean that anybody could sing ??

  • how to do that vibrato?

  • hi i have a question. my vocal range is B1-D#4. Im male im 17 and need to go into Falsetto arround middle C. if i strain i can get D#3 (but i know straining is bad pls dont get side tracked by this i dnt do it often). Does anyone in all honesty think i could get to F4 in my headvoice with little strain through vocal training? thanks

  • I have a hard time distinguishing between "the sound of a note" and the actually "sound of a person's voice..Meaning if someone like r.kelly is singing on 3 #E--I cant "hear the same sound that that not actually make"..You know what I mean? or am I listening wrong? Now please don't misunderstand me..I CAN hear the difference in pitch when played on a piano or guitar--but when someone SINGING the notes..I cant hear the same sound as the notes of a piano..u understand?

  • Search EricArceneaux and follow the lessons. I use to have ur problem last time (:

  • I would like to ask you about the male voice..I am--right now--at (when Middle C is C4) C3- E5..In a lot of videos about the male voice, some say that men should not try to develop our falsetto, but that we should stay in our chest and develop belting more effectively.But in other videos, others say to "sing in the mask"..is this the same or different? And if different, would you please explain...because if I "sustain singing in the mask", I will eventually start belting..is this right?

  • Only use falsetto when it is really high, if not - use your head voice.

  • which lead me to my last question..How do you know when "YOUR OUTSIDE OF YOUR RANGE" or "THAT IS A PART OF YOUR VOICE THAT HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED"? u understand?basically, when I get to a difficult part in a song and if I don't hit the part right--how do I know that that part is beyond my range vs it being a place or spot in my voice that is not yet full developed..

  • In mixed voice, how do I "place more head voice than chest voice" AND stay on the same note? you know what I mean? In the middle of a song, when I am supposed to make the note (lighter?) or put more head voice than chest voice I tend to go of pitch...And I know about the scales--but it seem like i am missing something else..How do I keep a tune? how do I stay on pitch? how do I "HEAR" myself?

  • Most people tend to get tensed up and flex their muscles when they try to go higher. Actually to go higher, you must relax more and you can sing higher without straining your voice. Trust me. Anyway, go to EricArceneaux 's profile (: Peace. Have fun in your singing career.

  • Boytodef, please don't listen to people who don't have a clue. Your falsettto should come into action as low as Bflat, below middle C. This will give you the breathing space and the correct approach to go up in you complet register. This is true for all mal singers, bass, bariton or tenor. Chest voice is a liar in the begining of you voice development. It should be infuse with the qualities of the head voice or falsetto (it's the same thing. Forget what illu5onuntitil3said)

  • advice, typo. hehehehe. Good tips

  • aaahahahahhahahaha, at 0:31, horror music. Aaahahahaha, but for real this is very good adice. Thanks allot for this help

  • usefull!!!

  • rofl

  • WTF Zombie eyes at 0:30

  • lul

  • By the way....the excersise you are talking about at the begining....is used to learn how to trill.....not vibrato. Vibrato certainly is not half step!!!!!! Another thing....a vioce lesson and a singing lesson ARE the same thing!!!!! Just 2 different names. Just FYI...

    Again...not trying to antagonize here. If this works for anyone...cool! Being an opera singer with many years of voice lessons and now giving lessons gives me the right to say something.

    I am just saying.....

  • You do a great job of explaining what it is that's being done and have awesome techniques to perfect it.

  • I have been procrastinating today and found your videos. I am wondering....where did YOU study? It sais that you sang opera....where?

    I am extremely worried about kids watching these videos and thinking that is a voice lesson. Have you heard your own voice? The scratchiness in the higher pitch you sing here it's coming out loud and clear! I am not attacking you...I am just curious...

  • It IS a voice lesson, not a singing lesson, he clearly wasn't trying...

  • I can sing very good! im powerful and my breathing is so good! but i suck at vibrato! the only times i sing in vibrato is when i fluke it!!! its so anyoing!

  • listen to 0:30 over and over again after 2 seconds 0.0

  • im confused!!! ???

  • DUDE YOU ROCK

  • Very interesting!

  • oye chancho pendejo eres cantante o que?

  • Shit, expert village, the plague of you tube.

  • shit man i want learn how to sing

  • Me too:<

  • and who says you can?

  • You can't instantaneously sing with vibrato. Vibrato is natural, something you can't teach yourself to do.

    But, through breathing exercises, you can develop your voice, which could help.

    This guy is teaching it wrong, vibrato is NOT two different notes, it's a waver between notes.

    Try it.

    Using two different notes sounds fake and forced.

    If you want to learn vibrato the proper way, see Eric Arceneaux's videos. They are really helpful, trust me! :D

    I'm ranting here .-.

  • Why did people thumbs down this comment? It's true... You're not supposed to fake a vibrato... It comes with technique...

  • i thought i was going to pee myself

  • Oh wow. I tried to mimic what he was doing, but started laughing too hard to sing! I sounded like a stupid ghost trying to scare someone!

  • PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN - he knows very little about healthy singing. Vibrato is a byproduct of correct singing - a natural, physical aspect of sound and, if authentic, can not be taught. This man's videos are filled with mis-informaiton. I am a voice instructor and I am appalled that he is spreading bad information. Find a good teacher when trusting your voice to someone!!

  • LISTEN TO 101DRIVER - he noes all teh stuffs about the vibrato. I have seen like a zillion videos on Youtube emphasizing shifting notes, head-shaking, diaphragm/stomach shaking, jaw shaking (although this technique is often used for louder notes that are harder to vibrato) and all of that crap. Vibrato is NOT a necessity. In fact, if you treat it as one, you may find it will more often break a performance than make it. Straight tones are great too - sing normally and vibrato develops NATURALLY.

  • wow how informative. i praciced how to sing vibrato for a long time but i became frustrated and started crying when i realized my vocal coach was teasing me for my not so vibrato voice.

  • Is it possible to teach yourself how to sing, if you currently have no singing talent at all...like you can not sing for crap?...or do you have to just have that type of voice or something?

  • you can definitely get better by learning some basic information and practicing. i would recommend starting by reading widely on vocal care and techniques. learn how to take good physical care of your voice, and then learn about good breathing, relaxation, and then see if you can match pitches and start singing simple melodies! there's a ton of stuff on youtube that can help. Eric Arcineaux, as someone said above, is a good one to watch on youtube.

  • that was the most hilarious thing ive seen in my life lol

  • Wow. How way off base is that?

  • this guy has no clue !! teaching vibrato!

  • you shouldn't try to practice having vibrato. it just comes when your voice fully develops.

  • Comment removed

  • Just to clarify...

    Vibrato - is a variation in pitch

    Tremolo - Is a rapid change in volume

    Chorale - Is a slow change in volume

  • I've seen some videos and they all say something similar to this. My vibratto doesn't come out naturally like other people, so I want to develop it, but I'm not really sure if this is the way to go. Can anyone say if this technique is any good to develop the vibratto?

  • Vibrato isn't change of pitch. That's Tremelo. Vibrato is when you stay on the same pitch but your voice seems like it's bouncing off 2 notes. It should come naturally. You shouldn't try and force it.

  • Vibrato IS a change of pitch in singing. In singing, If the change in pitch is very noticeable and/or wide, that's what we tend to call tremelo or a warble. For string instruments, if they play a tremolo, they are changing quickly from one pitch to another. The dictionary term for vibrato is 'Effect like Tremelo in Singing and playing an Instrument'

  • NO NO NO NO!!! listen up... vibrato makes you voice wiggly... simple as that.

  • I play the cello and a tremolo is where we just move our bows back and forth as fast as we can.

  • Thankx man i needed dat i can sing a little but i don't think it's good a nuff 2 sing n front of people i still need help bt thankx

  • good

  • he looks like the guy on snl!! lol

  • OMG i can't do it T____T i need something for dummies i think $:

  • no he's right thats how you do vibrato anyone who teaches music says tha same thing

  • that definitely works bravo

  • hes from expert village but i dont see any experties

  • lol he looked dumb as hell at 0:32. f*king crackhead.

  • this guy is an idiot. vibrato is supposed to be an oscillation in volume, not pitch... what he's teaching is a bel-canto-esque trill that you would find in a handel opera

  • Handel isn't a bel canto composer...

  • are you kidding me? that doesn't even merit a response... handel is the defintion of baroque bel canto. that was the whole point of the castrati whom he wrote for. the very fast colotura passages etc. know what i'm talking about? listen to rinaldo. venti turbini? lascia ch'io pianga? they both are textbook bel canto...

  • and i don't know about singing, but in any other instrument, vibrato is changing the pitch. Any other instrument.

  • yeah, any other instrument is change of pitch, why with the voice it would be different?

  • i don't know where you ever studied voice but if your vibrato is a change in volume then you probably got something wrong with your chords. Vibrato is a slight bend in pitch which is a natural affectation due to the air pressure behind the vocal folds

  • Comment removed

  • nope.,. technically thats called modulation. Vibrato in voice is a combi of modulation and volume changes.

  • ahhh, yes..very true..job well done:) it has everything to do with air pressure, however, i find the what he is teaching in the above video is good for warming up the cords to allow the right air pressure to promote that vibrato..i do it:P

  • yeah vibrato isnt change in pitch.

    when youre singing vibrato you should keep the same pitch but your voice should have a sort of spin to it...not that that explains it well but this is completely incorrect

  • i actually think that "spinning" is the best way to describe it

  • yh its the equivilant to playing quater tone bends on the guitar so your not actually going to a different pitch just halfway between two in some respects

  • i think youre thinking about tremelo. tremelo is actually changing the pitch, however slightly, whereas vibrato is more of adding a sort of shimmer to the note

  • yeah they are similar i agree with your point. But the tremelo arm is only a way of achieving a wide vibrato

  • ummm actually i think tht's what potatomasher98 is trying to say.

  • yeah thats sortof what im trying to say but...well yeah im saying this dude is talking about tremelo

  • These videos are horrible. You can not sit there and make every single pulse from vibrato. Vibrato should come naturally almost, but be controlled. My vibrato happens when i tense my stomach muscles, and they just start to vibrate.

  • its expertvillage what do you think?they aint experts he cant even sing right.

  • Perfect example of someone who can sing vibrato... Rob Halford!!!

  • and these negative comments come from people attempting to learn to sing, over the internet.

    If you think you can do better, why would you even watch the video... one might wonder

  • same here

    so dont comment u dick sucker!!!
