How I Practice Vibrato: 6 Self-Awareness Questions [Video]

In this video, I'm sharing all the reasons why this is the first exercise I do each day, including 6 tips and awareness questions!

Overview:

• Improving evenness and depth of vibrato.

• Using vibrato exercises to improve the depth and resonance of sound overall.

• Improving breath management, especially in training the feeling of a full, singing sound without wasting too much air.

• Uncovering the connection between the air and fingers, and inhibiting unnecessary effort in the body and airstream.

Self-Awareness Questions & Cues:

1. Do I feel a liberating, internal connection to the pulse?

2. Do I hear an equal amplitude in my pulses?

3. How can I exaggerate the vibrato with less effort and pressure in my torso?

   • What is it like to breathe when I take up more space while floating up and out rather than collapsing and squeezing?

4. Allow the exhale to release with ease. Think Da-Ha-Ha (from Jeanne Baxtresser) for effortless evenness.

5. Inhibit extra effort on the note change.

6. Problem-solve with sound and prioritize openness and resonance to reduce “nanny goat” vibrato” and maintain depth of tone.
