How to Start to Find Your Vibrato (The Art & Mindset of it All)

Vibrato is super tricky and elusive to many! One of the main problems with trying to figure out how to get the 'ideal' singing vibrato is that there is a mentality that comes with that quest that suggests we need to MAKE it happen. Really, we need to learn to LET it happen (like so many other things in great singing). In this video, I lay the groundwork for you to discover the vibrato you were meant to have!

This guy knows how to teach in the most efficient way. Much better than other vocal coaches here on YouTube, especially Ke...nvm.

Every other vocal coach: vibrato is an oscillation of the voice that is natural produced as a result of great breath support and healthy singing

Over time, I've watched a lot of different vocal lesson style youtube videos and usually leave feeling empty-handed. It's not like that at all with your videos, you're the only one I've seen that really gets it and I could tell almost immediately. I've learned so much already. Exceptional channel, please keep up the great work. Much love from Oklahoma

This is so spot on! The key is knowing how things should feel and not feel. That way you learn to sing with your body rather than just your "brain" 👍👍👍👍

Unconventionality is most effective way to teach voice and you're a master voice educator because you've rubbed off on me and my neighbors look at me like I'm out of my mind but I don't care. I wear it as a badge of honor. 🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤

This is mind blowing! I’ve been trying to get vibrato for years and nothing I tried worked. Turns out I was always able to do it, but just didn’t know how to access it. Thanks for this great lesson!!

yesterday I accidently found my vibrato. I'm about to teach myself singing with grit and as I switched of my grit I ended up in my clean voice with a nice vibrato at the end. For me it's a sign that I'm on the right way developing my voice.

[NicolashNoelBaguino]

Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't. Thanks for the insights as always chris❤

Great video, as always. It's mind-boggling how much information we get for free these days!

Vibrato is the first thing ever that i've learned. Don't remember how or why, but it always felt natural for me. My advice is this:

Don't force it, let it come naturally, for some it might take more time to develop.
DO NOT try to produce it by chopping up your voice (rapidly constraining the airflow, sounds awful and is extremely inefficient)
The tone produced with vibrato should be always constant, with even and the same volume.

It should be produced by changing the pitch just slightly (let's say one semi-tone higher or lower) and then switching between those two tones in a wavy manner. You can do it mroe slowly at first, and then kinda work with it and try to figure out what feels most comfortable.

I have been studying singing for... 8 years? (Not really applied the whole time, mainly in the beggining) Using mainly youtube videos, and I can tell two things from your videos:
- Many things I have learned from joining the knowledge from mutiple sources, are really well explained as a whole in your channel.
- Since I realize that, I can also tell that the things I haven't learn are explained in a really complete way, that makes me without that NEED to seek many and many sources for each small thing.

tldr; Great job!

I LOOKED THIS UP LAST NIGHT AND HERE YOU ARE. Being the God send.

Thank you, man.

[bradleycedric]

I follow him and i love he’s tone and range and love how he’s teaching . It makes sense and very much helps me learning.so thank u so much your the best

[DeborahBoily]

I have been singing for 40 years and coaching for 20. You cannot force from the throat and it's a natural outcome of good support...l agree with you on much of this. I find it to be THE hardest thing to teach. I was born with a natural vibrato, blessed l should say, so it's even harder for me to try to teach how. I am sending this to my students who are straight toning everything..

[Jordansparte]

Great explanations, very simple, tons of informative videos at great length and doesn’t annoy us with endless plugs for a book or some “Top secret” tips we have to purchase. I like that. Just a man that loves music and wants to help others improve.

[hannanathan]

Accepting the ghost. Now I understand why vibrato has always sounded so spiritual to me lol. Great vid again. I appreciate how articulate you are in these lessons. Thanks for everything you do.

[jamesrudolf]

Oh my God you hero! I asked for this a couple videos back and this actually made my day. Thank you!
