Simple vibrato method

Friends who are learning songs all hope to have good vibrato, so that they can control the volume and voice well when singing, which can allow us to sing better-sounding songs. For singing, we must master good and reasonable voice training methods, which will not damage the voice and can practice vibrato perfectly.

Vibrato refers to the wave-like movement of singing voice, also known as sound wave. When the breath passes through the vocal cords to produce sound, vibrato is formed when the singer consciously vibrates it. When a vibrato is produced, the throat muscles will twitch violently, especially in men whose Adam's apple is more prominent, making it easier to notice.

Learning vibrato is not difficult. As long as your throat muscles are relaxed, you can effectively make natural vibrations. We can practice with two scales that are half a degree apart, using the [a] sound. For example, in the key of C major, E and F (that is, m and f) are exactly half a tone apart. Try to continuously sing mfmfmfmf..., and sing faster and faster, you can produce a vibrato centered on m.

Tremolo is easy to master and the effect is obvious, especially in dealing with extended notes. Pure extension will make the sound straight and dull, while tremolo can make the sound relaxed, lively and vivid, making the music more colorful and the timbre rounder and more pleasant. If it can be combined with the resonance of other cavities, it can produce a lingering and moving singing voice that lingers in the ears for three days.

For singers, vibrato greatly adds a sense of layering to the music and makes ordinary phrases no longer appear stiff. It is a very practical singing technique. However, there are a few points that must be noted:

2. Never mistake the seemingly "throat trembling" for vibrato. Trembling is the process of tightening the throat to make sounds, using pressure to force the throat muscles to tremble, which is very harmful to the vocal cords, so the general principle when practicing should be to be relaxed and natural, otherwise the mistake will become a habit and will be difficult to correct.

3. Vocalists will further pay attention to aspects such as the frequency and amplitude of the vibrato, but there is no need to be too obsessed with the details, as long as "the singer is natural and the listener is comfortable". Generally speaking, soloists may use more vibrato to enhance the texture of their voices; when singing in chorus, they should cooperate with each other and should not vibrate too frequently or too loudly, so as not to annoy the audience.
