When I lip sync, my vibrato is beautiful; I can feel it. The moment I try to hard voice to it, I lose it. I’ll try your exercises.

I just got vibrato and freaked myself out being able to do!!! I thought I would never be able to vibrato!! Glad no one else was in the house though 🙂 you are a really good teacher (funny too).

THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I always have vibrato when I am running out of breath but I can't seem to do it otherwise. With this video along with the Power to Sing videos I finally understand what vibrato really is, how it should feel, and how to get it. Thank you!

[judygonzalski]

I never knew what vibrato was until a woman at church told me I had a beautiful vibrato. I finally decided to look this up to see what it is. Now I will work on contolling it and being more relaxed more of the time. Thank you!

[Peach-jryv]

Her voice is beautiful and its so amazing to watch her teach ❤

[anamonterroza]

After a few of your videos and doing the exercises, I was finally able to control my vibrato - for the first time! I have a great sounding vibrato but could never control when I produced it. I suddenly had an Aha! moment and nearly cried. Thank you so much!! I have a lot of practice ahead of me but I at least know what control feels like and will keep replicating to master it. 😊❤

I've been a deathcore vocalist for about 15 years, and I occasionally did clean singing. Everyone told me I had a very nice singing voice but I never really played with it much until recently. Deathcore vocals are very difficult to learn, and I thought I had a pretty excellent command over my voice until I started trying to ACTUALLY sing. I have to relearn fundamentals lol.

This was a great tutorial, easy to understand and emulate. Much appreciated. I'm working on a Sleep Token cover for "Are you really okay" and their vocalist is a master with Vibrato so this is a great start.

I think I found it! My natural vibrato! The "voice flying away from you' image and the constant reminder not to fall into 'gunshot vibrato' really helped! Im new to singing, so for now it feels like a baby chicken I need to nourish, but hearing it for the first time was amazing. Thank you so much! :D

This is LITERALLY the only video on YouTube to explain the natural vibrato and fake vibrato differences. I’m guilty of doing the fake vibrato lol because that’s how I always thought to do it. But nobody explains any of this.

[jessjohnreed]

You deserve a raise! I've just had vibrato for the first time! I'm so tense and was so nasal and you've helped me! Remotely at that! You are truly phenomenal, do you have a Patreon? I couldn't say I have the time to attend a class, but my job allows me to hear your lessons through headphones. I do the exercises in my car in-between accounts, but you are the first person in a long time that has brought truly valuable lessons to me. Thank you, sincerely.

I love your intensity and upbeat attitude!

[yanna]

I have natural vibrato but it tends to go away only when I try recording it... And I've been wondering why for years. When I was practicing after watching this video I realized, my shoulders get tense when I'm recording! I tried again while keeping in mind that relaxed feeling and it worked!! I'm so grateful for this, I've only watched a handful of your videos but they've helped me so much with breath control and now vibrato!

[yulian]

If I may add a little thing of mine (for others still struggling despite these wonderful tips in this video) i discovered while achieving a nice controlled vibrato:
It's to :
A) start with a metronome and think vibrato as bi tonal A B A B A B and increase speed to at least 130 (150 ideally). It's to train the "muscles" to that movement and get some flexibility.
B) to stop thinking about "bitonal" vibrato and more of a main note to hold and a "shadow" note . Visualize mentally a rubber band (that helped me).
Music theory and solfege days are too far for me to remember (lol )but I think the vibrato is like less than a half tone if i'm not mistaken or maybe it's half tone idk xD. But thinking that way helped achieve a more natural vibrato, more controlled and stable not sounding like a two tones alamr siren (pi po pi po pi po)

And obviously all the standard tips for singing: relax, phrasing etc.

Songs to train: all the songs from the great american songbooks. "Somewhere over the rainbow", the autumn leaves, as time goes by. (slightly) Excessive use of vibratos back then, but perfect opportunity to train it and enjoy your journey to getting the vibrato :D


PS: i love your expression "stuck in straight tone" I laughed so much you really made my day XD

[mayliezyl]

I'm really grateful I accidentally encounter your channel. I've been watching a lot of vocal exercises and advices from different coaches here in YouTube for years now but I'm still stuck. Fortunately, I found yours and you gave me a different perspective of vocals and not just doing random exercises and said to magically upgrade your voice. Your videos are fun and informative, I always enjoy watching your videos. Though I still have a long way to go but I can see some improvements in my vocals thanks to "Victoria's, Victorious Vocal Tips" (I always go along with these lines every time I watched your videos😅)

Two things that I discovered while learning vibrato (from you of course 😉) I had to record myself and listen for it, using my phones voice recorder app. When I got in my head during a song, I simply walked from my kitchen to my living room while singing. This helped me get out of my own way. Once I accomplished learning how to hear my vibrato and releasing the tension by walking to get out of my way, I was able to get better and better. Now I can stand and sing normally. It wasn't an easy task. I listened to many hours of lessons from many different teachers. When I stumbled across your page. The video of you explaining how to do sirens and sounding like a ghost 👻 that's when it all came together ❤ Thanks Victoria for such a fantastic 📹

[foxitoxal]

This is the BEST tips I’ve ever done, I’ve listened to your playlists and it’s helped me so much!

[JeffreyJayA]

I can’t tell
You how much your videos help me. I’ve tried being coach before. It’s so frustrating because I KNOW it’s there! Your words keep giving me “AHA!” Moments one after another. It’s actually therapeutic! Thank you!

[janmeyer]

Thanks to your video I got the point how to sing the "real" vibrato (it still needs quite a lot of practicing especially with certain notes and syllables but I think I understood the essentials). Thank you for the good explanation & exercises!

[theelysium]

Hey, thank you very much! Your description of "relaxing the voice" to get into the vibrato really made something click in my head. Really helpful!

[JordanPringle]

I really think you are the best and even funniest vocal coach ever.. you keep bringing us content. We love you me and my friends
