hey chris liepe here with how to develop and hone your vibrato you are so beautiful
to me you are so beautiful to me
yourself
beautiful
to
me it's been said many times that you don't find your vibrato it finds you
what does that mean it means that if you try to find your vibrato particularly by doing something
that you think someone else is doing with their vibrato you will harbor too much tension based on
expectation to do what you want to do in other words you trap your voice by pursuing vibrato
and then anything that you do sounds forced or contrived i know that you can relate if you've
ever tried to find your vibrato so in this video i'm going to show you how to let your vibrato
find you the key is you have to be super open to being completely ridiculous and you have to be
completely non-judgmental as you're starting to dial in some of these sensations that i'm
gonna show you also if you don't understand how to use your breath support correctly
you will never ever ever get vibrato your vibrato will never find you you'll be lost
you must have an understanding a fundamental understanding of how to
manipulate your airflow in a healthy way that doesn't cause tension all over your range
then your vibrato may find you if you follow what i'm showing you in this video click the link
below and join my free course and i'll help you dial in your support so that this stuff finding
your vibrato is going to make more sense and you can participate more confidently the first thing
we're going to do here is belly laugh okay we're going to say ha but we're not just going to say
we're not going to do that you can't be reserved you have to give a real big belly laughs
now notice when i'm doing that i'm letting a lot of air out on the h i'm actually running
out of breath really quickly but when i engage my vocal chords there's this sense of like
it's a loud like projected sound do this first and then we're gonna dial back the extremes both
in how much air we're letting out and how loud we are belly laughing when we engage our vocal cords
okay that's the extreme next
now there's this sense that i'm bouncing like this bouncing like this
and i'm restraining the amount of air that i'm letting out on the h
and my stomach is still bouncing
now we're working in stages here remember that this is not the final output
but i'm practicing this sort of restrain
thing but i'm not restraining here i'm restraining my air i'm not in other words i'm not going
i'm not trying to manipulate the sound from here at all i'm letting
the airflow come up like this and then i'm
giving shorter less puffs then we want to eliminate the h altogether
and i feel my stomach doing this
now i'm not tense at all here but my my support system's pretty tense
okay what's really interesting about this is that if i start holding out a note
and letting this convulsion in my lower body continue
now the key is i'm moving around the note as i'm doing things right
i'm not just going i'm not just staying here i'm going around at different parts of my chest voice
okay now as i'm doing this like this
that sounds sort of like vibrato but it's actually more of a tremolo
i am i'm maintaining whatever pitch and i'm bringing in more volume and less volume that's
not necessarily vibrato that's more like tremolo but now we let our larynx float
we manipulated a little bit like this
so that's totally loose
okay i told you you're going to sound ridiculous now let's move the pitch up and down
more doing all these things at once it's kind of like this
now
start to make this a bit more mild
you're convulsing like this that tremolo start to make the tremolo a bit less
we're keeping loose up here and we're doing we're doing less abrupt convulsing down here
this is starting to unlock as i bring my pitch around pitch variance in my bouncing
i'm gonna land on a note
there's vibrato one more thing to experiment with and before i share this you have to understand
that vibrato as it finds you it is a multi-faceted multi-textured multi-muscled sort of thing it's
not one thing and so by engaging all these parts of your body in different ways you let the vibrato
find you okay here's the last thing start engaging your head voice by moving the pitch around
and then backing off the pressure so that you crack into head voice
backing off the pressure i told you you need a good understanding of how your support works
so you can find that break as you're working around your your chest slash head resonance
your break is your friend here don't try to eliminate your break go with it
as i learned to back off pressure like i was talking about earlier
and i keep everything loose by moving the picture mode by moving my by keeping my larynx floating
manipulating my the back of my tongue and soft palate
i start discovering how bouncy i can make the sound once you discover how it feels to
bounce that sound around while everything is super fluid you can start to hone it
notice how i transitioned by backing off pressure from chest voice to head voice and i let my voice
bounce into the head voice this is how my vibrato found me and how it can find you too experiment
with this hone it don't reject anything as you're dialing this in leave comments below let me know
what you thought if you want more tips like this i offer tons of unconventional ways to discover
