Description: Have you ever wondered:

• What causes vocal vibrato?
• How can I sing “straight tone” and not hurt myself?
• Is the dreaded wobble inevitable with age?
• How can I develop a vibrato if I don’t have one?
• If my vibrato is too fast/slow/wide/uneven, what can I do about it?
• Why does my jaw/tongue/neck/larynx shake with my vibrato?
• Do I have to sing all early and Baroque music with no vibrato?

Vibrato: A Singer’s Guide is designed to help demystify the topic of vocal vibrancy, and give singers the tools they need to work with their vibratos. Singers will leave the workshop with a rudimentary understanding of:

• The parameters of a healthy, normal vibrato
• The physiological causes of vibrato
• The connections between breath support, vocal folds, and vibrato
• Vocal exercises that can help singers learn to straighten their tone healthily when necessary, or to encourage vibrato if it is absent or inconsistent
