Pricelees lesson that 89 people can´t understand. "the vibrado is the colour that adds to the frase, but It don´t make the frase". R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Rock on man, really awesome
I used to have difficulty singing with vibrato, but then I started watching videos about how to breathe while singing and I tell you what. It not only makes it easier to hit some notes, but it allows you to bring out more texture to your voice and made adding vibrato a lot easier. I would also say that you probably want to pay attention to when it is used. I find that in general, I only use it after singing the same note for a few seconds. Vibrato is great on longer notes. Not for short ones
thank you so much.these free videos are gonna help lot of people who cannot afford ot dont have access to professional training.many people would pay more attention had they paid for these lessons.
@zelda0521 It's not because you can consider it a stylistic effect that it's only aesthetics: true vibrato is a physical phenomenon that occurs when the air pressure on either sides of your vocal folds is balanced, hence allowing the vocal folds to initiate their own stationary vibration. You can amplify / dampen it with training, but what Brett is doing is NOT vibrato, it's called "wobbling" (quick changes in pitch), nothing to do with vibrato. Nothing personal, he's just wrong.
Your right on with the vibrato! I just watched a video of someone and they really sang heavy with vibrato. It made me forget what they were singing and I was just thinknig about how much vibrato they had in their song. Great tip!
Bought your mastering vibrato vocal training, and I got it!!! I thought I would never be able to get vibrato, I love to sing, and I had been singing for years without vibrato and never thought that vibrator could be learnt and developed. I thought some people were just gifted to have vibrator, thanks!!!!
this is soo cool i thought it was cool to sing a vibrato but now i know it has it's purpose my brother has a natural vibrato and i've been jealous of him for a long time now but now that i see it's all about how you sing and how you make it interesting i want to keep my natural singing voice thanx =D
I completely see what you're saying. They do sound very technical, but I think there's a reason. Since they're coaches, they want to teach whomever wants to learn all the technical styles, and when they sing that way, they want the student to be able to identify. It's meant to be very technical. And once the student has a broad understanding of style and technique, he or she can use what is learned to style the way the student wants to in his or her own personal way. (:
isn't that what we call false vibrato?? I thought true vibratros are achieved naturally by letting your vocal chords relax when you exhale no? i'm confused
@liquinoriginal Listen again to what he said. Its the air moving across your vocal cords. Its not how fast and in rhythm you can breathe out, its how you bounce between the 2 half steps just using your vocal words.
Wow! What a calming voice! Thx for revealing the techniques of vibrato. Btw, anyone know what song he's singing? "i must be wicked looking for a miracle, tempting god to part the sea for me"
Depending on your approach (such as Brett's Vibrato Program) since I'm not sure how you're approaching this, you CAN work on developing your vibrato into a stronger one, and there's no harm to it. It just depends on how you're going about it.
I respect his lessons in other tutorials and I think he's a great teacher, but I frankly disagree that people don't listen for vibrato. I actually kind of do. Vibrato makes me melt. My favorite singer in the world, Ofra Haza, is PHENOMENAL because of the power of her voice, the way she can sustain a note, and her strong, fast vibrato. This could be a Jewish Yemeni thing because a lot of other Yemeni artists sing that way, but I love it. I like artists better with it....
I completely agree with you.. I like that he's more "defining" what vibrato is, but I wish the description would explain the pitch shift both above and below the original pitch center. Vibrato not trill.. ;) I was at a summer music camp the summer after my fresh. year of HS and all of a sudden, after learning some different techniques, THERE WAS MY VIBRATO! The hard part was stopping it for vocal jazz stuff, lol.
@mradaChris: Also, there seem to be written 'proof' implying that the church didn't let singers to use vibrato. However, it could simply mean, they didn't want singers to have a wide wobbly vibrato.
@TheDemiLFreak1 : it takes time to be able to do it. If you sing enough, you will figure it out at some point along the way. I figured it out after a LOT of trying. You can't be taught, you have to figure it out by "landscaping" your own voice over time. :)
The program is absolutely worth the money. I got it a few months ago, and while I haven't gained a massive amount of range yet, what I do have is loads easier to use. If you can spare the change, get the program. Bottom line.
Haven't tried Ken's. Though in most courses I've seen, the guidelines are the same. I'd pick a teacher based on whether you like their singing and if you trust them on teaching you what you want to know or need.
yeah, i totally agree with u. sum ppl use vibrato just to hide their not-so-good voice and ppl say wow what a great voice just bcoz someone's singing in vibrato..
Excellent advise! I'm a big fan of folk based singers. Gillian Welch etc. People who have great character and phrasing WITHOUT all the cliche "American Idol-esque" over-produced pretentiousness. But, with that said...I'd like to improve my vibrato and ironically for all the reasons you stated. Just for those moments when a little subtle character can go a long way in putting emphasis on a particular word or syllable. Thanks for the video:)
@MusicLover2295 As singing teachers, our greatest asset is our ability to create vivid pictures for our students to learn from. This is because we cannot "see" our instrument. For example, the idea of the breath being a boat sailing on an ocean of air - which teaches the singer about the importance of breath. Understand the pictures and you'll understand the concept.
Great lesson on vibrato. Elton John is someone who uses a lot of big vibrato in his delivery. Would you say he has natural vibrato? I'm not sure. An example of a singer who's vibrato always sounded kinda forced to me is Chrisy Hines from the Pretenders(much as I admire her work).
@TheDemiLFreak1 it's all about breathing properly and singing properly. Here's some tips. First. don't eat/drink anything for 10-12 hours (except water) Second. Do body stretches for chest, back, and sides (all while breathing deeply and holding breath for 10 seconds), Third. do your vocal stretches to chromatic scales (don't push your range though). also, look at more of these types of vids It won't come over night, but these instructions will help you fast track. PS. don't starve yourself ;)
This has always been my philosophy of singing. It adds textures to a song not become the main focus. I really don't like to hear people hide behind runs and vibrato to excess.
"wicked looking for a miracle / asking God to part the seas for only me" i searched these lyrics and couldn't find it anywhere - i want to download that song, it sounds like it'd be good!
this is soo cool i thought it was cool to sing a vibrato but now i know it has it's purpose my brother has a natural vibrato and i've been healous of him for a long time now but now that i see it's all about how you sing and how you make it interesting i want to keep my natural singing voice htanx =D
He explained it well to me. I finally understand how to get a vibrato now. rather than force it with the up and down feel (what i always tried doing. lol ). ^_^ I'm going to practise. Thanks Brett!
@FarhadTv there actualy 2 folds of vocal chords in your throat, the main set (where the sound is developed) and then the secondary folds, behind the main folds, that vibrate creating a vibrato. I don't think vibrato should be forced, it will happen naturally, as he mentioned. Don't try to apply vibrato to a voice that is dull an boring, once you get used to singing your own style, it will come naturally, well that's what happened to me at least :P
I get your point here - can be used stylistically - am a vocal coach myself, but a free voice naturally has vibrato. Even pop voices. Listen to LeeAnn Rimes. Trisha Yearwood. a beautiful example of perfectly free vibrato is in the voice of David Cook. It doesn't sound operatic when it is organic. Rock lead guitarists and classical cellists alike, try to imitate this amazing phenomenon.
So HOW DO YOU FREAKING START THE VIBRATO!!?!?!? this is the 6th vidio I'm watching about how to vibrate and I still don't understand how to do it. They aren't teaching it/////
I've always been able to sing vibrato naturally, once a man asked me if it was natural or forced, to be honest I think you should be able to tell when someone is singing it forced and when it is natural!! but this man was a bit of an analyst!!
@mradaChris: Correct, although there is as dispute whether singers used vibrato back then or not. I'd say in the majority of opera music, vibrato is used. Indeed, more present than say in Pop and Rock music, but 'with' dynamics/thought, not as Matt seems to suggest: for the hell of it.
@weezellipz ya same here, the opera/classical vibrato is more noticeable, its one of the beautiful sounds in my opinion(: i think its easier to learn vibrato listening to 'opera-style' vibrato.
Surr: u need to try and place your voice at the front of your mouth. Think forward! It actually works. Karin: you can get vibrato by singing a note until you run out of breath.
@blauauge2 Neither did I but developed it using his method that I purchased. So, he teach absolutely right! Glad there are people like him that can actually explain the voice and its uses for all contemporary music....NOT JUST BEL CANTO.
@FarewelI Good for you man. Yes, everyone can attain it. I found that deep relaxation (to get what some call "release") helped me. Marry that with good breath control and it happens naturally. That's the vibrato you want. The relaxation part is easier, the breath control takes time and practice.
thanks for the answer can i ask one more thing ive heared answers from alot of places but here is where i can find the right answer i think is it very demaging if u smoking and singing and what the demages can be
sing straight tones.. and relax.. if you let all the tension out and use the correct technique, the vibrato will just happen... "stomach vibrato" and "jaw shaking vibrato" actually cause more tension. Try and take some classical singing lessons, everything you learn can be applied to other genres of music, but they will teach you the correct technique allowing for a natural vibrato.
@Jacc0s Yes, you can if every time you go to sing you put your mental focus on just one thing ... telling the story of the song. If you were speaking a story would you be watching your voice and how it sounds? I don't think so. That feeling you got was achieved at times when the only thing that you were entertaining in your mind was 'telling the story' of the song. The simpler you are with singing and the more you leave the voice alone, the greater your true natural voice will shine.
One thing I remember being taught, you don't learn vibrato. You just do it. Its not a singing technique that can be learnt easily or really taught. Its just something you pick up as you sing. I never used to sing vibrato, I just hit the note and stayed there. One night I was singing and I just clicked half way through "hey I'm doing this in vibrato" If you want to try and learn vibrato though, and i'm not saying its impossible, just impractical. Practice with amazing grace.
When I sing it happens naturally after a second or 2. I conciously change it for different types of music and different songs. I love really noticable vibrato like Tim "Ripper" Owens' (Rob Halford's replacement in Judas Priest/Iced Earth) and also Fabio Lione's (Rhapsody of Fire) vibrato. And of course, Ronnie James Dio.
@kandeebars77 brett manning said that it was half-true, if you have vibrato it will come out naturally esp. IF YOU ARE RELAXED. but there are some people that are so relaxed (like me) who still has no vibrato. vibrato can be taught but it really depends on the person what exercise is the best. and i know people who does fake vibrato, forced vibrato but in the end getting that natural vibrato. for me the 'starting car' exercise is the best. it WORKED for me
@ManolitoMystiq I suspect that vocalists back then used vibrato as it is a natural tendency to sing in vibrato, in my opinion. I have heard very few vocalist use straight tone all the time. For me it makes sense to use less of it when singing a fast phrase and use it on a held out note. I guess it is whatever is pleasing to the listener that matter in any case.
Pricelees lesson that 89 people can´t understand. "the vibrado is the colour that adds to the frase, but It don´t make the frase". R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Rock on man, really awesome
I love how chilled out and high he always seems LOL.
I love Brett Manning and Co. And the singing success programme!
this is the best expatriation of vibrato I've ever heard....thank u soo much now i will practice it more to make my music more soulful

Really clear ideas on artistic use of vibrato.. Very helpful. Thanks so much.

I thought some people were just gifted to have vibrator, thanks!!!!
I love how he puts this! I never thought of vibrato that way before
ive got it but i just cant controll it
Dude, love it, cheers! Totally agree about not over-using it! I hear that all too much in people!
this is soo cool i thought it was cool to sing a vibrato but now i know it has it's purpose my brother has a natural vibrato and i've been jealous of him for a long time now but now that i see it's all about how you sing and how you make it interesting i want to keep my natural singing voice thanx =D
loved it , so useful
omg i would like to sing like u
what a voice
please PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! keep doing more vids, love 'em
congrats GBU
I think he is one of the best vocal teacher . thanks
i love brett`s lessons. i never had a genuine vibrato till i tried this chicks arm falling technique. it shows your hidden real one.
take arm up and sing note then let it fall and hit your leg. its like a chain reaction.
then try to step hard and find other ways....
This actually helped me tons! I used to be awful, but now I know how to control and produce it better. Thanks!! :)
He makes perfect sense about having an interesting voice first and then enhance it with vibrato. Ego or not, he's right.
I completely see what you're saying. They do sound very technical, but I think there's a reason. Since they're coaches, they want to teach whomever wants to learn all the technical styles, and when they sing that way, they want the student to be able to identify. It's meant to be very technical. And once the student has a broad understanding of style and technique, he or she can use what is learned to style the way the student wants to in his or her own personal way. (:
It's called 'The One' and you can buy it i-tunes. Thanks for asking and thanks for watch our videos. I hope this all helps you!
isn't that what we call false vibrato?? I thought true vibratros are achieved naturally by letting your vocal chords relax when you exhale no? i'm confused
@liquinoriginal Listen again to what he said. Its the air moving across your vocal cords. Its not how fast and in rhythm you can breathe out, its how you bounce between the 2 half steps just using your vocal words.
Wow! One of the clearest video on vibrato on youtube, thanx!!!!
It is an original song of his. It's call "The One". I found it on his myspace page.
Wow! What a calming voice! Thx for revealing the techniques of vibrato. Btw, anyone know what song he's singing?

Good stuff buddy! Ignore the negative comments. No-ones perfect, however your advice brings me 1 step closer to success!
@mradaChris: Also, there seem to be written 'proof' implying that the church didn't let singers to use vibrato. However, it could simply mean, they didn't want singers to have a wide wobbly vibrato.
I liked your opera rendition.
King Diamond's vibrato is the best I've ever heard.
@TheDemiLFreak1 : it takes time to be able to do it. If you sing enough, you will figure it out at some point along the way. I figured it out after a LOT of trying. You can't be taught, you have to figure it out by "landscaping" your own voice over time. :)
Been looking for this for a long time. So long haters. This guy has the goods.
best vibrato lesson i've ever seen

I'd pick a teacher based on whether you like their singing and if you trust them on teaching you what you want to know or need.
You have a beautiful voice. By the way, there are many great classical singers who use vibrato as an ornament.
Ive been having issues here. Sometimes I get it though. This explanasion was great though! It's just clear to me now. So glad I bought your product.
yeah, i totally agree with u. sum ppl use vibrato just to hide their not-so-good voice and ppl say
wow what a great voice just bcoz someone's singing in vibrato..
We were talking about this in chorus. I just had to look this and I realize I can already do this naturally.
wow and here i thought vibrato was from singing smoothly. thanks so much for clearing that up!
Excellent advise! I'm a big fan of folk based singers. Gillian Welch etc. People who have great character and phrasing WITHOUT all the cliche "American Idol-esque" over-produced pretentiousness.

thank you very much, good explanation, good examples. Thanks!
Thanks! Picked it up straight away!
I love growing up, I mean, the vibrato became natural to my voice now, no more cracking up.
This has always been my philosophy of singing. It adds textures to a song not become the main focus. I really don't like to hear people hide behind runs and vibrato to excess.
Brett!!! You`re the man!
Clear splanation! Beautifull examples!
Thanks!
wow great vocal control

yes they always do, cause you have a useless throat and an impatient brain

Good video and great teacher.
Brett Manning! :) What a surprise! I'm learning the Speak Level Singing
Surr: u need to try and place your voice at the front of your mouth. Think forward! It actually works.
Karin: you can get vibrato by singing a note until you run out of breath.
Slow 'em down, and put a consonant before each syllable when working them up to speed.

it's brett manning. he's one of the top vocal coaches in the USA
@Jacc0s Yes, you can if every time you go to sing you put your mental focus on just one thing ... telling the story of the song.

Ha ha "wow. What a lot of vibrato." I'm going to start pointing out vibrato on the radio. You sir, are a genius. Great voice.
Explained very well my man
I don't understand the "he's so full of himself' comments here. He is a great teacher and should be respected.
i like that peice of song he sang was my favorite part of this video
I love his voice
That was really interesting, i'll share it around with people who need to know this, cause i always get questions.
One thing I remember being taught, you don't learn vibrato. You just do it.
Its not a singing technique that can be learnt easily or really taught. Its just something you pick up as you sing. I never used to sing vibrato, I just hit the note and stayed there.

People, look in the related videos, there is a video how to sing vibrato by jesse nemitz, which can help you, it`s more a beginer thing
Omg, he's so good.
brett manning sir rocks.....wat a gr8 guy
When I sing it happens naturally after a second or 2. I conciously change it for different types of music and different songs. I love really noticable vibrato like Tim "Ripper" Owens' (Rob Halford's replacement in Judas Priest/Iced Earth) and also Fabio Lione's (Rhapsody of Fire) vibrato. And of course, Ronnie James Dio.
what beautiful song, anyboby what´s the name this song? thank you
@Jacc0s if i warm up correctly for like 2 or 3 hours, it naturally comes.
Yep!
what is the song he is singing!??? i like it..
Nice
This really helped, thanks
awesome tips!
@kandeebars77 brett manning said that it was half-true, if you have vibrato it will come out naturally esp. IF YOU ARE RELAXED. but there are some people that are so relaxed (like me) who still has no vibrato. vibrato can be taught but it really depends on the person what exercise is the best. and i know people who does fake vibrato, forced vibrato but in the end getting that natural vibrato. for me the 'starting car' exercise is the best. it WORKED for me
@ManolitoMystiq I suspect that vocalists back then used vibrato as it is a natural tendency to sing in vibrato, in my opinion. I have heard very few vocalist use straight tone all the time. For me it makes sense to use less of it when singing a fast phrase and use it on a held out note. I guess it is whatever is pleasing to the listener that matter in any case.
