Hi, Dr. Dan I’m currently working a ballad song for my fourth 4 Song EP release, , for this Summer.
I wanna use vibrato through out the song to compliment it simply because of the way wrote the song my problem is, the part where I need to hold the note mainly the end of the verse I need to sing it loud, and I kinda struggle, , I can sing with a vibrato but I’d have use to fake low range as if I’m reaching for air????
What can I do please
