Vibrato is an aesthetic feature in
singing which adds colour to the tone (sound). It can be
described (incorrectly) as a wobble, but it sounds more like
a very quick wave-like movement of sound very lightly either
side of the note.
Although there is little research on this subject in terms
of how it is done, vibrato happens at the
larynx (voice box) level and the larynx moves to create it.
Therefore the larynx cannot be high and tight which is necessary
when belting for
example.
So, if vibrato is required when belting, the larynx
will need to be relax but still maintaining stability (which
comes with the application of neck support).
Vibrato can be heard in the following spots in these songs:
Born To Try Delta
Goodrem
"Doing everything that I believe in,
going by the rules that I've been to-ld.
More understanding , of what's around me,
and protected from the walls of love"
Fallin' Alicia
Keys
"oh, oh,
oh-I never felt this way,
how do you give me so much pleasure, give
me so much pain..."
I Turn To You Christina
Aguilera
"When I'm lost,
in the rain, in your eyes I know I find
the light to light my way.
When I'm scared, losing ground..."
