Question about having a vibratto

Posted: 6/28/05 at 4:12pm

Hi, my best friend went for a vocal evaluation the other day and she was told that she had a vibratto in her voice. i know what that is, but I am curious, is it something bad or something to get rid off? I am kind of curious because I really don't know and neither does she, and she says the still want to work with her but when she asked about it they said it didn't matter, she didn't have to worry. Any thoughts? thanks in advance!!! :)

Different schools of vocal technique use the word "vibrato" in different ways to mean different things. She needs to find out from them exactly what they mean.

They said it meant like a shakey sort of quality, is that bad? or does it not matter?

Very few singers sing ONLY straight tone 100% of the time. Nearly all employ vibrato to one extent or another. It's generally a good thing as long as it's properly produced and well-controlled.

Vibrato is something that can come very naturally to some, others mistakenly push too hard for it. If your friend is looking to do musical theatre, then vibrato is the preferred "legit" sound.

There can be all kinds of vibrato problems- shaky, scratchy, etc. With proper training and diligence, it can usually be repaired. Most likely, her issues come from weakened muscles, or the way air passes through her vocal folds. Doesn't sound like she has anything to worry about.

it's fine as long as the person keeps plenty of batteries on hand, otherwise it's darn near useless.

As long as it comes pretty naturally and it doesn't hurt her I don't see why its a bad thing.

I can't believe no one has corrected the grammar in the title...

I agree with what other people said- it is a good thing unless it hurts her or it is hard for her to do

Eh, someone used that joke in a thread a really long time ago.
