Chris, I've been singing my whole life, I've been in and out of voice lessons and have always been told I was great. I know I'm a good singer, however, vibrato was the missing link I never had. That small beautiful wavering was always out of reach. This video had me being able to reproduce vibrato, on purpose, after the first watch. Today is the second day going through it and I'm already feeling more in control of being able to turn it on and off. I hope you understand how much unlocking this means to some people. I feel like I will now be able to fully express the emotions of music, thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
this is literally what i’ve needed!!! my vibrato always seemed to come out forced and inconsistent although i have pretty good breath control. i was wondering what the difference between learned vibrato and natural vibrato and now i understand. thanks for helping me finally find my natural vibrato! this video is such a life saver!!!!!
I'm watching at work and stifling my laughter. Yet it all makes so much sense. Can't wait to give these ideas a stab tonight after everyone I live with is fast asleep and I can commit to the silliness of it all. Great stuff.
By far the best vibrato lesson I've seen or done. I love the way Chris brings body awareness into his exercises so I can feel the necessary sensations at the extremes and then dial them back for something that sounds pleasing.
Really cool explanation Chris. I've been teaching singing for 15 years and vibrato speed is something that I personally find hard to control. Vibrato is a minefield. This was a really interesting approach. Thanks.
Ive been singing my whole life, i even took vocal lessons in highschool and my teacher complimented my vibrato. Im now in choir for the first time as a 22 year old freshman in university and i was told that i use a "fake" vibrato. I didnt know there was such a thing. Im now having a bit of a crisis trying to learn to sing with a real vibrato
ummmm I was NOT expecting that singing clip in the beginning -- DUDE YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT SINGING VOICE JEYSUSSSSSSSSSSS! The toneeeeeee….. I’m flabbergasted … and benevolently jealous XD -- you look like a bald muscular gladiator with the voice of a rock star angel…. DAMN. Leave some goodness for the rest of us. 😂😂😂 awesome vid man
Wow. I've been trying to figure out vibrato on my own for several years with really poor results. And now, just by watching and following this video, it just clicked and I can easily control the vibrato however I please! You're a wizard, Chris :D
I used to sing opera a lot and my trainer (a legit opera singer) told everyone NOT to learn fake vibrato (or the sheep technique, as she called it). When you have the right singing technique, you will be amazed to find out that vibrato is indeed not a technique. And surely enough, was I amazed!
New subscriber here. I must say this method has worked pretty much instantly for me. I had tried a lot of different theories, but this worked indeed. Chris, you are the man!
I've been mostly using the tremolo technique to achieve the faster vibrato, (I just like the way the really fast vibrato sounds and I've been trying to figure out a way to speed mine up) but it's kind of inconsistent, when I can activate it. I thought it wasn't possible to speed up the laryngeal vibrato until I found this video and tried the techniques. It's not consistent either yet, but after continuing to practice these techniques, I can hear short spurts of the laryngeal vibrato that is much faster than I thought I was capable of. Thanks a ton for this video Chris.
Around a month since I made my last comment and the advice you gave me helped a lot. I focused on the vibrato i could already do. But came back to attempt these techniques and made it much easier for me to do vibrato. Thank you
woOOOOAAAAH!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I FINALLY ACHIEVED IT!!! YOU ARE THE BEST !! ha ha I couldn't contain my laughter trying, but i finally did it with your help!!
I really appreciate this video Chris, as I have never been able to achieve a natural sounding unforced vibrato until I watched this video. The description and way you lead us to the feeling in the chest/abdomen region is helpful to pinpoint what you should be aiming for. I managed to find a helpful shortcut for me to achieve pretty reliable vibrato thanks to this understanding of the mechanics. What I do is having a decent support of the note in the abdomen and diaphragm, when I want to hit the vibrato (and like you said it seems to really work when you change the pitch) I notice my belly goes out instead of up and in, and my chest drops a little and in, maybe slightly compressing. With this I can almost hit it on cue. Thanks so much man 🙏
This is something I've had difficulty understanding over the years cuz I have a tendency to overreach the note when I go into belting from soft. The way you explain it here hits home.
That was such a great tutorial, i just started having the hang of tremolo since basic control over my voice from my well trained music ears and i am a good copycat, but this was what i was looking for, and its like the 10th video for vibrato and tremolo i am watching trying to understand the technique, pretty awesome and fun to watch too! Yes it sounds ridiculous, but if you ask me, I love ridiculous =D
Hi, i believe that this is the best training ever above all the others when it comes to vibrato training, however its already three-days now, but I've already seen meager results from these exercises....love it.. keep it up. .. im from the Solomon Islands
NO WAYY!!! This is the ONLY video that have helped me to even find vibrato! (If im doing it correct). It was the thing that letting the larynx lose by having your power from the stomach. Then your larynx could go up and down
Thanks Chris.. super interesting! I've been singing a long time, but have always struggled with vibrato. Maybe using these techniques, it will finally find me!
I've never tried to work on vibrato but I noticed it happening a few times in the last week or so. So today I'm on a journey to learn more about it and i'm starting with your videos Chris
Really enjoy your videos! I have been singing for a long time but it's never too late to learn new techniques and tricks. And the way you instruct makes it super easy to learn. Thanks a million!
Pour l'instant c'est la meilleurs explication de comment obtenir le vibrato que j'ai vu sur CZcams !!! Et en plus c'est vraiment drôle !! Oui effectivement, je me sens ridicule, mais pas trop, car je suis seul dans ma chambre, personne ne m'entend, enfin je crois.... Vous êtes extraordinaire !!!
I'm confused. I've heard people talking about and demonstrating vibrato as a natural oscillation that occurs when breath support, relaxation and pitch all work together correctly. Here you demonstrate vibrato as something done manually from the stomach. Unless I missed something? Which is correct? Or is it a matter of which technique the singer prefers or is capable of? Is "natural" vibrato a thing?
I joined the 365 group. I learned so much just from your warm ups. I did the fry and head voice thing along with you and locked in this wicked cool tone I've never even heard myself make lol
My vibrato just came through the years of singing, some call it 'the Elvis thing' 😊 or crooner style voice. I have learned to control it so that I can use it wherever I want. thx 4 the vid. (goolge transl. i am dutch)
thanks chris. watching this a year later and you helped me find my vibrato in my upper voice but the lower notes I just can't find it. Maybe I'm not relaxed enough in the low tones.
I can do the slower belly laugh, and it feels like I've got good breath support, but in your "restraint" section around the 4:15 mark (after you eliminate the "H" sound), I find it very challenging to "bounce" around at that same fast speed that you're doing. Only slowly. What might be the problem here?
Wow, at :30 you can actually *see* the vibrato on his t-shirt, under his right arm (viewer’s left) near his rib cage. That’s insane. Does that come from diaphragm movement? I know when I do vibrato (or attempt it, to be more accurate) my larynx moves visibly, which I’ve heard is not a good sign. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen this visible movement near someone’s rib cage before. That’s impressive.
I've been experimenting a lot with my vibrato for years and even after this tutorial I can't help the fact that when I am singing something intense with belty/mixed voiced and vibrato comes in I tend to use too much air, like I was whispering while doing vibrato, any tips on that?
You could benefit greatly from spending more time dialing in your support and targeting your resonance dynamically. Have you joined my free course linked in the video description?
I cant even do the super fast convulsions rn 😂 is thet also something you build along as you learn to sing more qnd more with proper support? Im fairly new to this. So i was wondering if im doing something wrong or if this control to be able to play around with your support system and do it super fast is somethint thwt comes with time?
I have the same problem, not any sound comes out when I tried do it fast, I can only do convulsions slowly and I tend to gone out of breath quick. Or maybe I have weak support system 😂
Hay Chris, could you to some tear downs of blues singers? Examples would be like kaleo or radio company. The range, dynamics and styles seem to have some different kinds of engagement from rock well still keeping that intense feel. Love your videos! And thank you, your videos have been a big help building the confidence to approach singing in my musical journey as a guitar / ukulele player.
I just waited for my parents to get out of the house! There's no other way to run these voice experiments. More importantly, this is extremely beneficial for your health. We excercise other parts of the body, but never bother to look into the muscles that are seamlessly recruited during vocal practices.
My singing voice does this naturally. Even with all the right things I can't control it at all even with the correct breathing techniques. I can't get rid of it no matter what. Even when I don't force things. I tried the things in this video and it still won't go away. I've been practicing as well and it still won't go away. Am I doing something wrong or should I just go with it? Because it comes out naturally.
Maybe I’m not understanding, but this video does not seem to be teaching “natural” vibrato. Am I missing something? I already have natural vibrato that doesn’t originate in my diaphragm, I found this video because I’m having trouble loosening up my mixed voice enough to create natural vibrato and was hoping this would help but unless I’m really not understanding, this seems to be teaching how to manufacture a vibrato-ish sound with your diaphragm
Sounds like finding vibrato is like finding enlightenment
Agree with you
Enlightenment is easier though
@@rishiii8t814 haha… good one.
You have to try and its not impossible
i've found enlightenment but not my vibrato :(
Instructions unclear: I am now the voice actor for goofy
😆
Hearing you sing acapella was so good on my ears. After all the ugly sounds I've been making this month, this was pure heaven Chris.
THE GOAT

@@HarelAtias 🕊️
Its funny how subjective music is. I had to turn down the volume cause that part at the beginning was off putting to me.
@@kenbrunet6120 i can definitely relate to that.
when your parents are home and think ur a psychopath but you're just doing vocal trainings:

damn man! the way you explain it step by step and the "feeling you suppose to get" pure gold. thank you !
Would love to hear a no analysis of Theo Katzman from Vulfpeck. I just checked out his solo stuff recently and his voice completely blows me away
Yes I second this look at animal spirits!

Well taught, Mr. Lieppe! You remind us of something too often ignored or, worse, forbidden: singing is music and music is play.
ummmm I was NOT expecting that singing clip in the beginning -- DUDE YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT SINGING VOICE JEYSUSSSSSSSSSSS! The toneeeeeee…..

absolute legend. staggeringly entertaining and edifying. your vocal coach content is second to none, my guy.

Thats why your one of the best vocal coaches out there, the unconventional body awareness start always gets the best results sonically at the end.

That's an amazing in depth way to help vibrato happen naturally!!! Great singing in the beginning too!!!
Thank you Jamie!
As soon as you said “dial back your restraints,” the lightbulb clicked 😉 great tutorials, Chris!
It’s also good to notice that at his last step it seem he’s starting to “relax” while he is bouncing the air. This help me

Thank you! I FINALLY found my singing voice.
This unfortunately didn’t work for me, but thanks for taking the time to make the video :)
Just wow. What a great explaination. I feel like I have much more confidence in accessing my vibrato now!
wow this instantly helped me!!! already noticing how much better its getting. Cant wait to practice more on this!!
wow this was so helpful- finally someone who actually has helpful and informative vibrato tips! thank you
I have it sometimes when I try this technique! Gotta keep at it. Thank you!!!
Thanks Chris.. super interesting! I've been singing a long time, but have always struggled with vibrato. Maybe using these techniques, it will finally find me!
did it find you? I suggest watching Justin Stoney's vibrato videos instead because they are a much better way to access a healthy vibrato.
Omgosh it works!!!! Get ready to crack up laughing at how u sound on the way to beautiful vibrato.Good stuff right here.Thanks for sharing. ❤🎉
I've never tried to work on vibrato but I noticed it happening a few times in the last week or so. So today I'm on a journey to learn more about it and i'm starting with your videos Chris
I’ve never laughed so hard in almost my entire life. I’ll keep practicing. Thank you for the lesson and the laugh.
Really enjoy your videos! I have been singing for a long time but it's never too late to learn new techniques and tricks. And the way you instruct makes it super easy to learn. Thanks a million!
You're by far the best
Great lesson , that said Mr. Cocker would be pleased what an airy departure from his grit and rasp .
wow finally it worked, thanks!
Your singing at the beginning of the video was so beautiful to me… 🤣
Vibrato has always been the missing link to me. Have yet to find a vid with this approach. Gonna make this a daily exercise. Liked and subscribed.
Finally I found the best video about vibrato!!! ❤ thank you sir!!!
it's like you been reading my mind
I have vibrato, but this techniques help me make vibrato cooler on all my vocal range, thanks

It's official, now my neighbours are completely sure that I finally lost my mind.
My neighbors are probably wondering what the hell I'm doing... LOL
Thank you for this exercise. This has been the most helpful so far.

never thought I would see goofy teach vibrato on CZcams

I'm gonna have to watch this about 20 more times. I couldn't keep up. :)
Tune in to watch Chris channel Catherine Hepburn…. 🤪😎🤔
🤣HA totally!! And I joke around all the time with that voice & never knew it would be part of my vibrato journey! 🤯
thanks chris. watching this a year later and you helped me find my vibrato in my upper voice but the lower notes I just can't find it. Maybe I'm not relaxed enough in the low tones.
Brilliant..never find something like this before. Thanks for your great tutorial, sir.
Many years ago my then 4 year old niece made fun of my vibrato . . . I suppose with singing in general getting negative feedback has a big effect.
Excited for that Jay Buchanan vid! If you need any “epic” moments clips lmk!
5:35 when you tell your creepy uncle a joke.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

that moment when you finally nail the vibrato sound and he looks directly into the camera into my soul and goes "huh." LMAO
Love this vocal exploration!
If you close your eyes is like Goofy in singing classes.
appreciate this a lot

Yes looks ridicolous,I haven't try these and haven't seen your other video,but i feel it Will work.
Vibrato is addictive, i have a habit of using it to hit higher notes when im out of practice
Wow, what a jewel

Thank you Chris! You Rock
holy shit. I just, that happened quickly! big thanks!!
Omg how can i if i've to laugh that much. Thanx i love ur lessons, i'm learning that much while i'm laughing a lot. But ur tips they work❤❤❤
I have great vibrato in my mid-high register, can control the speed & intensity, but in my lowest register.... zip. Anyone got any tips for that?

Wow! Awesome and thanks !
VERY ENLIGHTENING. :)
Thank you so much Sir 🙏🙏
this is a masterpice
