Does singing vibrato come naturally?

When good tone production, resonance, placement of sound, breath management, as well as relaxation, are in place, vibrato naturally results, or naturally occurs, in the singing voice. It is something that our bodies do on their own, not something that we force them to do.

How is vibrato achieved?

Laryngeal vibrato is achieved by moving the larynx up and down creating a variation in pitch. This vibrato is most likely produced in a combination of levels from 1-4. The vocal cords produce the pitch and the hypopharynx produces the speed (see ‘Various levels of the vocal tract’).

How can I make my vibrato stronger?

While you wait for your first singing lesson, you can use these tips to prep your vocal cords for vibrato.

1. Warm up to relax your airway. Your larynx and vocal folds are more likely to produce natural vibrato if they are relaxed.
2. Build up diaphragm control.
3. Do vocal falls while altering the pitch.

How long does it take to develop a vibrato in singing?

Depending on your facilities it may take ~1–2 years. Vibrato comes from a relaxed voice. A tense larynx will not produce a vibrato. If a singer doesn’t have it naturally, it can be learned and developed. Typically I have seen my students develop a natural sounding vibrato in 6–9 months.

How do you get vibrato in voice?
