How to practice vibrato and singing?

Vibrato technique practice in singing technique.

Vibrato technique: As long as the throat muscles are relaxed, it can effectively produce natural vibrations. We can practice with [a] sound on two scales that are half a degree apart.

For example, in C major, e and f (i.e., m and f) are just one semitone, and try to keep saying mfmfmfmf??, and the faster you sing, the more you can produce a trill centered on M.

To train vibrato, make a long sound and shake your hands actively. Shake your hands gently, loosely, from top to bottom or on both sides.

Then shake your hands in a fast and gentle rhythm. Without shaking your hands, continue to vocalize and try to continue the vibrato effect. If the vibrato is lost, shake your hands again to feel it.

The techniques and training methods for singing vibrato are as follows:

The appearance of vibrato is a natural process, and we should not pay too much attention to it, and we should focus on basic exercises such as breathing and vocalization. When you have done a lot of breath exercises and the basic skills are solid, then your vibrato will come out naturally.

1. The posture of singing is very important. To stand up straight, stand evenly on the supporting strength of your legs. The position of the head is more important than the position of the body.

Some people raise their heads when singing high notes, as if they are singing with some effort, but this is not the case. The head was raised, and the treble tightened. The throat will also be tight and not loose.

Correct: the head should be slightly lower, but not too low. There is a lot of resonance in the head, and when the sound resonates in the head, the sound is loud. The movement of the head should be the opposite of the melody, the higher the head is slightly lower, and the sound seems to descend into the chest.

2. When singing, try to avoid using those muscles that are not related to singing. Try not to involve other muscles when controlling the diaphragm for breathing, and not to push as hard as you can to move things, which will close all the cavities and tighten the sound. Don't be nervous when singing, sing naturally, relax your shoulders, don't make small movements, and only use the diaphragm when singing.

3. Open your throat. Opening your throat is simple, when you are sleepy, yawn while talking, and that's when your throat opens. Opening the throat is more important than opening the mouth! The sound of singing like this is brighter than the sound of just opening your mouth and not opening your throat.

So, the mouth should be open along with the throat, and it is better to open wider at the back! It's like using an inverted funnel, with the big mouth at the neck and throat and the tip of the funnel at the mask. If the vocal position is fully in the mask, the voice can be gradually sung from the lightest to the strongest.
