Started out with no vibrato, and quickly developed what I thought was vibrato, which turned out to be Caprino. Sounded like a clinically insane goat. Broke that habit when I started taking vocal lessons, sang straight tone. Developed what I thought was natural vibrato after about 2 months of working on technique. Turns out this time it's vocal wobble. Sounds a lot like vibrato, but it's much too slow. Back to straight tone, and back to the drawing board. Hope to learn it right this time.

Thank you. Wobble is a slow vibrato used in a negative sense(too slow) however vibrato is always unique and may suit the style or not, especially in classical genres like opera. Any vibrato is coordination of support(breathing) and vocal chords(folds) closure and it can be consciously controlled by mind. Again, I wouldn't use the expression: " Is there a technique or a practice to use the wobble easily?" because practicing wobble is baad:) Franco

@n3v3rd1e No, using appoggio doesn't change the voice alone. Placement or position of the larinx and appoggio together make one's voice sound different. Higher larinx makes brighter and lighter voices in general and lower larinx makes it darker, but not necessarily more powerful if it's not a natural placement and just supressing larinx down. With lower larinx one needs more phisical appoggio in opera otherwise voice it will be supressed and sound woofy

Tenors that want a checkpoint on excessive use of vibrato might want to check Martin Muehle who has quite a pronounced vibrato...almost bordering on a wobble. The younger Muehle had more vibrato...now, I see, more recently he tries to disguise his tendencies by shortening phrases and other similar tricks...plus..a lot of nasal sound. He has a nice, strong tenor voice...a considerable contrast to a lyric tenor like Jörg Schneider...whose voice of late, in my opinion, is unfortunately being somewhat limited by his considerable physique...which is a real shame...he may be the best lyric German tenor since the great Fritz Wunderlich. I greatly enjoy these fine videos on singing, Maestro Tenelli!

Im actually a 33 years old singer, im a coloratura soprano, but with lack of technique and singing wrong repertoire I developed a wobble, and is awful everytime I heard myself, I feel ashamed of me, because 2 years ago my voice was pretty well... Anyway, I dont understand English spoken very well, so the advice to correct tremolo, caprino and wobble is to sing without vibrato and work in the appogio and the connection of your whole instrument? I unfortunately I dont have cash to pay singing lessons, but I record my voice after singing a phrase to correct the wobble little by little. Well. I will suscribe to your channel. Regards

@wishfullthinkn6837 6 жыл бұрын

I read that ideal vibrato is around 5 to 8 vibrations per second...so 4 per second(or, heaven forbid, fewer than that!) constitutes the less attractive wobble, and then 9 or more per sec is a tremolo type...too fast for the best sound. Fortunately, most singers fall within the normal range.

Also, if you would be able to do appoggio (perfectly balanced support, if i understand it correctly) right away without any previous training, would you be able to go for high C's without change of timbre or would you need some of your muscles to develope to be able to do it?

Observation: romance music without vibrato sounds a bit like flamenco. I do like me some flamenco. Personally I mostly sing (and listen to) early and baroque music(excluding modern music I listen to). I only use some vibrato infrequently, for ornamentation, and have a bit of a hate for extreme amounts of it. Especially sopranos with their high pitched vibrato. My skull literally resonates and it actually hurts to listen to. But it certainly still has its place. You explained it really well and could muster some excellent examples. Great job.

Tell me your opinion on why this occurs. I don't like this, I prefer the fast vibrato a lot, that's why I like Tamagno's esultate so much.

Dear Mr. Tenelli, thank you for your helpful video. I would like to hear more about how to fix a "diaphragmatic vibrato." I am a former flute player, and people who play wind instruments learn how to create a vibrato using the diaphragm. I noticed one day when reviewing one of my voice recordings that all amplitudes were "jumping" on one of my high notes and the vibrato did not sound right even though it was not too fast like a tremolo, nor too slow like a wobble. I found another source online that talked about diaphragmatic vibrato and realized yeah, on that high note I was manufacturing it through varying my velocity of breath. I realized from looking at a few of your other videos that I was forcing it because I did not use the proper appogio support for the high note. Would you say that it's mainly the appogio that can resolve the diaphragmatic vibrato?

@stone8193 6 жыл бұрын

Tania S. Smith from my experience, there's surprisingly little physical difference between perfect natural vibrato and diaphragm vibrato. What I mean is it's a surprisingly fine line between performing the two, however, the end result is light years away. One is perfect and healthy and the other is harsh on the cords and not beautiful or good. As natural vibrato is created by the dynamic opposition of the support or inhale and the leaning or exhale or appoggio, and the subsequent freedom in the voice that creates the natural unforced muscular tremor in the larynx, it would make sense that diaphragm vibrato, though horrible and wrong, is not so off the correct road. My theory is diaphragm vibrato occurs from too weak muscles of the support, therefore the support/appoggio balance tips too heavily towards the diaphragm; the diaphragm lacks equal resistance against it, and our mind still wants the vibrato, leading to a pulsing in and out of the exhale muscles, creating the diaphragm vibrato. It can also "creep in" even once developed correct natural vibrato, if you still lack support strength or endurance

What is the name for the thing that a lot of pop singers do where a single word kind of goes up and down. It can't really be described as a vibrato because it's slower than that, it's more like a slightly wobbly sound. One example would be in Green Day - Time of Your Life... in the chorus it can be heard on the word 'time'. Or a more extreme example is in Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's way of singing (though I find that too unsubtle). I feel like it should be simple to do and yet it evades me!
