Many singers want to learn to sing with vibrato but aren't sure where to start.
In this video, I wanted to take a few minutes to show you 1) what actually causes vibrato, and 2) give you 12 different vocal techniques to find vibrato.
My goal is to help you start to learn to find that beautiful quaver and shimmer in your voice.
Ready to get started?
First of all, very few singing teachers and even fewer singers actually KNOW what causes this beautiful vocal effect.
But here's the secret:
All modern research points to the idea that vibrato is nothing more than a muscular tremor in your voice.
And just like any other muscular tremor, vibrato gets activated when the different muscles groups within the voice are pulling against each other.
You can think of these different muscle groups as the chest voice and the head voice muscles.
All the best vibrato exercises will have some combination of these two muscles groups pushing and pulling against each other to create that beautiful shaking in the voice.
Often, when you're first learning to sing with vibrato, you may find that it's difficult to get your voice to waver.
In the case that the voice is a bit tight, it's a great exercise to start by changing the breath pressure in the voice in order to "teach" the vocal cords how to quaver like in vibrato.
So, the two first vocal techniques to help you sing with vibrato are allowing the diaphragm pulse and the beggar's pulse.
In the diaphragm pulse, you'll be taking your fist, covering it with your other hand and gently pulsing the hands into your solar plexus. This pumping action will create a pulsing sound in the voice and is necessary to develop the oscillating breath pressure of vibrato.
The second exercise, the beggar's pulse requires that you wrap your hands together like you're praying and shake them in front of your body. This shaking will in turn, also shake the breath pressure in your body, creating a "vibrato" like sound.
The next 10 exercises all involve helping you achieve the changing pitch or wavering sound of vibrato.
There are several different ways you can stimulate the vibrato to start.
A few of my favorites involve working with different intervals and "allowing" the voice to shake or vibrate between the different notes.
To start off, try singing a minor second interval (like the "jaws" theme) and see if you can allow the pitch to waver between the two notes.
Next, try the same interval descending such as you find in the chorus of "she will be loved" by Maroon 5 in the lyric "spending ever-y". This descending minor second interval is also very helpful in letting your voice vibrate between two pitches.
Next, try a major second interval such as you would find in the opening notes of "Happy Birthday" and add the vowel "ee" in order to let the notes shake.
Now, as you begin to find the vibrato quavering between those notes, it's time to put them to use on scales.
I recommend starting off in your chest voice on shorter scales such as a 5-Tone major arpeggio. Try this exercise on the words "Hee", "Fee", "Shee" in order to let the vocal cords vibrato.
Then, as you begin to master these shorter scales, start using a scale with larger intervals such as an octave sustain on the same words: "Hee", "Fee", "Shee" and "Foo".

Love you happy v day happy bday love you 😍 ❤️ 💕
hey! you are bro....
Practicising the "oOoOoOoO" at night and my mom's scared
lol
LMAOOOO
🤣😂😂
Lol
Your mom is scared of ghost
I think the part that people always miss is that you have to train your vocal chords over time to do vibrato. I used to get so frustrated with these TH-cam videos because I would do all of the exercises and still couldn’t find vibrato and I mean none!!! But I never lost hope, I kept trying and I’ll never forget the first time a tiny bit of vibrato crept into my voice! I literally jumped for joy, it was only on my lower notes to begin with and over time it’s gradually spreading across my range. I’m still not where I want to be but having seen the progress I’ve made I now know it’s possible and will keep doing the exercises. Don’t give up people! Videos like this are fantastic, in fact this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Keep practising.
can u mention how long did it take for you get that tiny bity of vibrato? newbie here
@@prafulshrestha2784 very slowly at first but u was only singing once a week. When I started doing daily exercises it started coming faster x it’s still growing
WOW. Your first exercise helped me so much I literally JUMPED in excitement. My vibrato has always been very fast and a little shaky this helped me have control thank you!!!!!
@Tommy Parker Fucking spammer!
@Arturo Warren Fucking spammer!
@Tommy Parker wait wtf!!!!
@EYM Mine too 😭😭😭😭
it’s 1AM nd i want to practise. probs not best for my parents
feel free 😃
But I know this so well
Same, 1:22 am
@@jem1205 haha... Me, too. 1:22 AM.
Lol I’m practicing in bed at 12am 😂 I don’t think my parent will hear
12:49 here XDD
I feel like I’m forcing my vibrato, it doesn’t come naturally to me when I sing notes. I even try to let my vocals be loose, but then I sound flat and find myself tensing up and shaking my stomach to get something that sounds a little like vibrato.
maybe you're straining, here's my lesson on that:
ramseyvoice.com/sing-without-straining/
“at this point you should be able to find some of that vibrato” NO NO I HAVE NOT FOUND IT
It will come with practice Good luck!
LITERALLY SAME IT WILL JUST NOT HAPPEN
dont be rude, its not his mistake u cant get the vibrato, the exercises works, keep trying!
@@mrserpenteen4117 I was absolutely not being rude at all, I was making fun of myself lots of love x
Me too!!! I can’t find a wobble that he speaks of🥺
OMG! The Ghost Vibrato @ 10:53 just *unlocked* my vibrato! Literally. I've always been able to "carry a tune", quite well, in fact (definitely better than the average karaoke crowd - haha). But this is the first time in my life I feel I've truly accomplished something in my singing voice. It's an epiphany that has opened my voice for greater things. I know I have much, *much* more learning and practicing before I can control it well, and I know it sounds ridiculous, but already I'm thrilled at what I've done in just the past few minutes of watching your video. I've tried it on a couple of my favorite songs. I feel so overwhelmed and liberated, and now tears have filled my eyes. Sincerely... Thank you!
Amazing 😎
YES THIS WORKED SO WELL. i have a little big of a above average voice. so all though i can hit sorta high notes my transitioning from low to high is something i’m working on. but i never had vibrato which made it sound boring and mediocre. now all i need to learn is how to do it without thinking.
This actually encouraged me... Its 2am and im not able to try these right now but thanks to you i have hope that this might can help me
The ghost vibrato was the most helpful for me too and the beggar shake helped me too
I can never ever get it purposefully. Occasionally it just happens and it's perfect but can never do it again. It's maddening.
I know!
I spent months doing vocal exercises for developing vibrato, but nothing seemed to work for me no matter how much I practiced. I watched countless TH-cam videos on how to develop vibrato and tried the advice given by them to no avail.
However, I went for a run today (3 miles) for the first time in a few months and was out of breath when I was finished. It turns out that all the heavy breathing (I have exercise induced asthma) from running was exactly the warm up I needed to sing with vibrato.
I got in my car after the run and did a vocal exercise I’d been trying for vibrato and all of a sudden I could easily sing with vibrato seemingly out of nowhere. It took me by surprise and I couldn’t believe I could finally do it. I was so excited. Singing with vibrato felt so natural and easy and I’m still in shock that all I needed to do was run to get my lungs warmed up. I couldn’t get a single note with vibrato yesterday, but I’m easily singing Bohemian Rhapsody with vibrato today.
If anyone else just can’t seem to sing with vibrato no matter what they attempt, try running a few miles or however long you can until you’ve been breathing heavily for a while, drink some warm water, and then try singing with vibrato.
wonderful, Collin, and don't forget the vocal warm-ups, everyone!
It didn't work for me😭😭😭 Nothing can help me to get vibrato....
😂😂¹¢1¹1
We r1a
I’ve never seen anyone explain how to accomplish a vibrato so clearly and simply, thank you sm 😭💕✨
You're so welcome!
OMG I can feel it. I could do it a little bit before... but now I’m getting better at it. Thank you so much.
I’ve been trying to learn vibrato for years, to no avail. Until I watched this video! This is incredibly helpful and actually worked, I’m amazed. Thank you so much!
Take my sub.. Struggled the past few or so hours trying to bring about those tremors, you explained this really well and as a beginner I appreciate you and acknowledge you taking the time to create this.
Wowww! I got this after 3 years but it helps me! Now I do vibration while singing. Thank you for this video 👏👏
Im 35 year old and I always thought that was something youre either born with or without. Now I can actually do it, incredible. Thanks !
Just want to thank you. I've been an amateur singer for all my life... I've always had a strong voice and a good sense for pitch, but I've never been able to sing genuine vibrato very well. This is literally the first video that enabled me to do it. Seriously, thank you! I still have to perfect it, but this is going to change my singing big time. Big thumbs up
!! :)
Thank you for this. I was a professional singer (rock, metal, musical theatre, opera) for a long time, but after 15 years no singing had lost confidence and am about to record some vocals for someone in a jazz style. These exercises really helped warm my voice back into it and give me confidence I can still sing ok :)
Great job my friend. This is a crash course which I'll teach to my kids. It makes the learning process fun and enjoyable. And the best thing, you start noticing results almost immediately. Awesome job!
Let me take a moment to express how grateful I am for the way you teach dude, from having unique exercises, articulating yourself and keeping the objective clear. I’ve watched other videos on the same topic and your video has brought me the greatest progress, that first exercise had me laughing at myself and before I knew it, I became more comfortable and relaxed! shoutouts and big ups to you brother man, thank you! subscribed!
Great to hear! Thanks, man
Instant subscribe , been tryin to figure out Vibrato for literally Months , and here im lightly getting it in the span of just 20 Minutes. Ur Awesome!
I’ve searched all over the Internet and you sir have finally corrected vibrato code at least for me! I think the difference was you made the exercises fun and doable especially the first ones. I know the bigger exercise is a cheap but it’s a good one and it takes the pressure off of you desperately trying to find the tremor in your voice and gives you an opportunity to hear what your vibratoWould sound like. Thank you again
You’re so good Matt. I start my mornings off with you!
I have tried the gee technique from your other videos and it helped me with the vibrato. The thing to understand is that it takes a while for one to see results. It's like working out any other muscle in your body. It takes time and dedication to the exercises he is teaching.
i was pretty sure fore years that i couldn’t do vibrato. But 10 minutes into the video, and it’s already helped me a lot.
THIS IS PERFECT! I've been singing breath-based vibrato (pour breath in even interval) for a while and it was inconsistent enough that I concluded I was doing it wrong (experienced in singing for a long time, mind you, just not professionally and never took any singing lessons or got any singing advice from anybody). Found this video as the top google result and instantly became able to get a hold of vibrato thanks to your suggestions with the diaphragm thing and hand shaking. THANKS SO MUCH!
This is absolutely wonderful, I've loved singing for years but every time I attempted a vibrato it felt very forced and strained. These exercises really helped me relax into it and feel more natural and comfortable, especially on the "oo"s (thanks ghost vibrato). Still a long way to go but it feels great having somewhere to start off from!
Excellent lesson! it took me a while, but I finally got it a little bit: it doesn't sound great but I'm working on it. I have read that it takes 10 weeks of practice every day to get it if you don't have natural vibrato.
Just went through these exercises and wanted to tell you how great I thought they were. I will keep practising and will be using vibrato naturally in no time I’m sure. Thanks very much. Great lesson
What?! How?! I have been trying to figure out vibrato my whole life and you have made it happen in 20 minutes! Instant sub. Thank you so much. ❤️🙏
Wow! Thank you so much!!! This video literally helped me find my vibrato with the first time I listen to it. That's years of hunting on my own down to one video of yours. Cheers🍻
great to hear, thanks
THIS WAS INSTANT! IVE BEEN TRYING TO WING IT FOR 2 YEARS NOW! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN ❤️
that is SO great to hear (literally, haha)
I was watching this a year back and wanting to learn Vibrato, I actually liked the ghost one. I did the body shaking while pushing my hands against my chest. After that I would always try to mimic the vibration without the help of my hands.
A year later I realized I can sing with vibrato. It just came and I realized it after sometime. It began with the higher notes, later I was able to introduce it to my lower notes as well.
Thank you Ramsey. Vibrato has changed the way I sing to a different level.
Brilliant, thank you! Never too old to improve, I'm 72 been playing guitar for well over 50 years in bands and now play in an acoustic duo and need to improve my vocals, this has really helped. Cheers
Me: **subtly start's making ghost sounds**
Also me: **realizes my fam is sleeping next door**
lol
😅😅😅😄😄😄😄
The 1st NO NONSENSE video tutorial I`ve come across so far ... the guy can explain and demonstrate without super long useless intros and some super " secret " voodoo ... good job
thanks so much, Mynelka
The hand shake and esp. the ghost vibrato guided me there so I can be aware of the tightened muscles. Thank you so much, Matt!
Thank you. I love you. I've wanted vibrato forever and I can already tell it getting better.
Thank you so so much man. Today, I have my Breakthrough in doing vibrato. It has been years and years I'm trying to figure it out. I say again, I got my Breakthrough. I praise God, and I praise God for bringing you, to help me out. Thanks Brother
Rock on! Good to hear
IM ABOUT TO KISS THE SCREEN THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can't say anything other than thank you man I around the latter exercises I absentmindedly made a tune and it happened just like that thank you so much!!
so glad for you!
I'm just going to put this out there. To have voice/music lessons like this... Cost hundreds of dollars and I don't know about you all but he seems like a professional teacher to me. Great Job!
A local coach I contacted wanted $250 an hour to teach virtually with zoom. I can't imagine she had more to offer than you just did. Fabulous exercises- I can already see a vibrato coming along.
I love your vids. Your exercises and explanations and fanstastic and so is your voice! Thank-you for sharing your expertise in such clear and precise ways.
You're so welcome Joanna. I appreciate your kind words. Have you already seen this article: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-sing-vibrato/
I love the way you teach. Thank you so much. Greets from amsterdam
Ok shut the front door! After all these years I finally figured it out thanks to you. I used these techniques while singing Adele’s “To be loved” and I nailed it! So good, that I’m going on tour! Thanks again!
You are a genius! It really works! Love your videos, they are sooo helpful. Thank you very much!🙏🥰
This helped so much! Thank you so much! You are a blessing!
You're so welcome Matthew! Keep up the great work and there's plenty more here: ramseyvoice.com/singing-techniques/
This is hands down the best video I’ve seen on vibrato thankyou for gracing us with this video
Wow, thank you!
I've always loved singing and watching this video just once helped me out of the singing pit I've been stuck in my whole life.. I thank your so very much and will definitely be practicing a lot from now on.. Will post when I'm fully confident in my ability
I only did up to the ghost vibrato and my vibrato CAME. I have it after struggling to get it for EVER. this is the only video that has helped. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Nah I’m sorry, the ghost exercise had me in stitches 😂😂😂
Awesome Ankonator!
what it difficult?
I can feel the vibrato but it's very unstable and uneven unfortunately. At this point, is that expected or should I be able to evenly swap (for example) between the two notes?
Hey Lewi, totally normal for vibrato to be unstable at first.
Same. I can do it but for like seconds then I lose control. I can do the vibrato but I have no control, it's sad
I am soo subscribing to this gentleman’s page. Great stuff right here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW PEOPLE CAN SING IN VIBRATO MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN I AM SUBSCRIBED BECAUSE OF THIS SATISFYING VIDEO ❤❤❤🎉
State of Art teaching.. between lots... my favorite. You do right what most teachers can't. Namely: give us the Key from our perspective to learn it.. This is the first Video i see from You.. i heard a very strong Authenticity in your Voice too. Want more. Thanks!!*🖖☘️
Wow, thank you! Welcome
Your advice helped me a lot...
Thanks for this
I used to do this specially while driving my bike in village areas and the jumpy roads & it was wierd but it was worth it
Haha, I bet those bumps helped with the vibrato!
I do it to I'm only 11
I'm a girl
I'm Sudir Pandya s daughter
Omggg!! Literally just tried the first thing you said to do and it has already helped me!! 😱😭😭😭😭❤️
I'm so glad!
Nice vid thanks for making this, I saved this and will practise every day
It helped me alot to develop
It was mysterious for me
❤️
It's my first day and I see changes. How is that even possible thank you sooo much🙏👍🏼
You are so welcome
this is pretty epic video. i can start to feel the vibrato connections being made in my brain.
This is a great video and has helped me a lot with vibrato - many thanks!
Your head voice and mix between chest and head is amazing.. can you please do a video on how to sing in blend or mix
Hey Ankonator, already did. Check it out here: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-hit-high-notes/
now i hv to shake my whole hands on stage when i perform😂😂
Hahaha😂😂😂
Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha my ribs @Yina mina FBI is looking for you for breaking my ribs
Thank you for you easy FUN lessons 🎶🙏
YOU ARE AWESOMEEEEEEE !!!!! CONGRATSSSS !!!
Crying because of the frustration of not being able to do any of the exercises except the pulse ones
Edit: after having a small session of feeling sorry for myself I decided to try again and t actually helped. I have the week beginnings of a vibrato that he told us to aim for so am going to practice as often as I can, also the she/he and ghost exercises helped the most
Hey ..u helped me in beautifying my Indian classical raga by your vibrato concept ...❤thankyou
Hey Mallika, you're so welcome. Check out this article for even more techniques to improve your songs, especially legato: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-sing/
yes
Great video with great exercises to go along with your explanations! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
AMAZING!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉I’ve never gotten vibrato been trying to sing for like 3 years!! Finally did!!!
O. M. G.
I have been singing for 2 years now, also performed a few times and I've always wanted to do vibrato and people told me that it'd just come with more practice and good technique. So I did exactly what you pointed out in the beginning; I tried making my notes perfectly on pitch and supported and expected at some point the vibrato will come 🤣🤣 now after your video I suddenly got it!!! FULLY! You made me intensely happy! Thank you so much!
Just a question though. Tremolo is different how? Or is this not used in vocals?
Tremolo refers to just an oscillation in volume, not pitch
Yooo... I gotta be honest. At first, I was skeptical with this video and didn't take these methods seriously but when I started singing randomly after I messed around with these practices, THEY DO WORK! I mean it's not perfect in any way but doing vibratos seems easier and more mindless afterwards. Half the time, I didn't even notice I was doing vibrato on some parts of the song I'm singing! These do work, people. This is legit.
Great to hear!
Omgggg. It’s absolutely fantastic. Kind of miracle. I am getting in to the track
You rock man! It really works, thanks a lot!
Im trying so hard to try and get vibrato but literally nothing. I mean my voice doesn’t wabble at all. Im doing everything correctly but nothing 😫 help please
Hey Makeup, try doing the diaphragm pulse a bit more intensely. Make sure that you're actually pushing your hands into your stomach to get the wobble. Then do it on a pitch. Just follow the instructions here: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-sing-vibrato/
GIRL SAMEEEEE! I wanna cryyyyyy. 😫😫😫
U gotta find a vowel that works for u, I am learning as well, and some vowels are way more difficult than others. I figured out how to get the vibrato technique on the i vowel. breathe up n down with tummy not chest I kinda feel like I pack air really low so i can sustain notes with even breath support. It feels like it happens in the back of your throat and its intentionally engaged. U can control speed and pitch to express emotion in your voice. Good luck dont give up.
@@sgproductions805 he no pun intended.. "u"... sorry that was really bad lol..
SG Productions this is an awesome advice thanxx💕
Thanks man, those are good tips for me to try when I'm driving so I don't scare anybody around here:-)
Hey pbaylis1, yep, I practice these in the car all the time.
this helped me SO MUCH
THANK YOUUU!
Cool, this is a well understood technique in what I hear with the best singers of doo wop et al but I wanted to find something to teach my grandchildren and this is perfect thanks (if they will watch it) Thanks
I kid you not, I cannot sing good at all, I sing in flats and I don’t have a high range. And this worked. 100/10 for this guy
great to hear
Thank you for this video. It still sounds a little uneven, but within just five or so minutes I was able to trigger it. Your exercises definitely helped and I will continue to use this video. :)
Hey G-Michael, yes the first step is triggering it. Once you've got it going, then you can spend a LOT of time refining it and making it more consistent. My advice is to find the 1 exercise that works every time and do it every day slowly expanding to different notes/vowels.
Man
You’re great
Fun and easy way to learn
I’m sure this’ll work
I’ll definitely try this technique
Ur amazing bro...happy birthday and then it starts.... speechless... superb 👌👍
The Jaws Tremolo also comes out in The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life”:
“I love to tu u u u u u u urn you u u u u u u u o o o o o o o on” ...
Great point Tales! Yes, the minor second interval is very common.
I took the WoOoOOooOOk to PolAaAaaAand!
absolutely brilliant instruction, thanks so much!
im shook that worked i love this thank you so much
Wow thank you so much for this! I had tried so many times to do vibrato but could never figure out how without straining a lot. This helps so much!
I'm so glad
@@ramseyvoicestudio Is there a way to make it sound nicer though because I feel like I sound like a goat haha
just keep practicing it, it may improve
@@ramseyvoicestudio ok thank you so much
This is a great video. This is great info for one of my young male students (boy soprano) who is working on healthy, natural vibrato. He sings in what you would call the female range. It would be great if these ranges weren't classified by guy and ladies but by voice type..or higher and lower voices. Not every guy sings low and not every girl sings higher. Excellent video!
This was soooooo good!!!! I wanna learn it all!!
hello. this is very useful. i have taken voice lessons. i am indian american. i sing both indian classical vocal and western classical vocal and some pop. my voice teacher has told me that it really depends on what you want to sing to develop vibrato.
Ahahaha my neighbour heard all of crazy things I do to improve my vocal skills but for sure nothing like this yet! Thank you ♡
Hey Edith, you get used to it the more you do it. When I was first doing this stuff, I would drive with the windows down practicing these exercises. Everyone thought I was crazy!
I physically cannot stop, what have you done to me sir
😂😂
You are truly amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for this
this is a hell of alot more complicated than I had thought it would be, it's just gonna take a whole lotta practice.
Now I can sing the word, “Memes”, and not annoy anybody.
The funny thing is I didn’t even watch the video. I just read the description and that was enough to get me go from the diaphragm vibrato to the vocal cords.
Hey, great!!
Awesome
Thanks Pon. Check this out for more: ramseyvoice.com/singing-techniques/
Thank you for this video. It helped me develop my vibrato in 2 days. I'm still tryna polish but thank you. :)
Maaaaan, You’re Goated!
