Ok, but.. Vibrato isn't *just* vibrato - An introduction

Why do singers have vibrato? Can you change your vibrato? And if you don't have it naturally, can you learn it?

In this video I answer all of the above, and we talk about two different types of vibrato and how they work.

If you like it when I talk about vocal technique in this format, please let me know, and I'll have more coming.

Thanks for watching!

I always learned from you and this is a great lesson. I didn't know that there are so many vibratos types. The hamburger vibrato sounds delicious. 😆 I love how this video is so well put together.
I wish there was a vibrato emoji, or else I would have put one in here. 😄

The reason i started to get into the hammer is because of the post malone on the radio sounding that perfect with that many oscillations. I was just wondering so deeply, 'how?' Awesome video, thank you.

Another interesting branch of vibrato is what I call korean vibrato...
Recently I started trying to go over vibrato. Like for real trying to understand it in depth. One of the things I could found, is footage of korean soprano singers with particular vibratos in which they produce it rhythmically twitching their tongues both narrower and wider coupled with slight movements back and forth without any sing of their larynx or hyoid going up or down. The tone of it is very particular. I have found predominantly videos from korean sopranos thus the name. Here I leave a mini compilation video of a korean soprano singer:

This is interesting because it seems not like a nish way of producing vibrato like could be approaching the whole tongue to the back wall of your throat so the back of your tongue sticks rhythmically to it bc of the bernoulli effect. This seems more like a style. As I have seen people do it with different speeds and pitch variations. I am not able to do it but I believe it has to do with fixing the hyoid bone.

I find i can hold a note longer ending with vibrato.

When Elvis does his quick vibrato, was it hammer vibrato all along?! Was it due to the pitch/tone of his voice that made it seem like laryngeal vibrato? Or does he use a combination of hammer/laryngeal depending on the sustainment of a note. So confusing...
