How to practice vibrato
When practicing the vibrato of the tip of the tongue, the tip of the tongue is gently rolled up (light to no force), gently touched in front of the hard palate (light to feel little contact, in short, relaxed), and blown with the continuous exhaled air flow to make it vibrate by itself. After learning to blow the tip of the tongue, learn to vibrate the vocal cords at the same time. I'd rather let the tip of my tongue vibrate for a while when I first started learning. In practical language, shaking two or three times may be enough. The uvula vibrato can even make the uvula vibrate by gargling. It is conceivable that in the strong wind, the air will flow quickly on both sides of the tall chimney, and the chimney will swing. Because it is blown by airflow, it is said to be the result of Bernoulli effect. The principle of that kind of movement is different from that of flashing sound. The flash on the tip of the tongue requires people to use nerves to direct muscles to make the tip of the tongue move. Bernoulli effect makes the wings of aircraft generate lift and can fly into the sky. In other words, the streamline of the upper surface of the wing is longer than that of the lower surface. When the plane moves forward, the speed of air flowing through the upper surface is faster than that of the lower surface, so the negative pressure of air flow on the upper surface of the wing is greater than that on the lower surface, and the plane gains upward force. When two ships get too close, they will approach or collide with each other, which is also the result of that negative pressure. The vocal cords can vibrate mainly because of Bernoulli effect and elasticity, not under the command of nerve impulses. One more thing. At the beginning of practicing the tip of the tongue vibrato, the tip of the tongue gently rolls up and touches the upper jaw. At the same time, the edge of the tongue surface should also work to block all the exits in front of the mouth. The edge of the lingual surface is tightened with a certain force on the left and right palates and gums. They don't participate in vibration, but narrow the petals on the tip of the tongue and make the tip of the tongue elastic. In other words, the edges on both sides of the tongue surface are motionless. The pressure of exhaled gas will push the tip of the tongue away. If you can't blow the tip of your tongue, it may be that the tip of your tongue is too tense (silent), and it is more likely that the two sides are leaking (with the sound of H ...). If you hear a th when you blow, and then the tip of your tongue stops moving outward, it must be inelastic, that is, the two sides are too relaxed, or the tip of your tongue is too tense, or it may be that the tip of your tongue is not rolled enough. If you hear a tx, your tongue is too high and nervous. The tip of the tongue valve is adjusted to be smaller, which may be more prone to vibration. If you push the tip of your tongue up too tightly, you will hear trrr, and you will be very tired. Trjia…… ... is the driving style of drivers in Northeast China. The key is to learn to relax the vibration of rrrrr. There are two more points: 1. Add consonants with the same pronunciation as vibrato and experience the vibration of the tongue in syllables. Such as: du-/tru/. When practicing, lengthen the sound, pay attention not to the tip of the tongue, but to the experience of airflow The vibrato at the end of syllables is difficult to pronounce. You can add a vowel at will according to your personal situation and then weaken it. Don't control it, and don't try to go from blinking, tongue rolling to vibrato. Especially don't control your tongue. Think of the flag in the strong wind.
To practice vibrato, you must first know how it comes from. There are only two ways. First, two tones with small interval difference appear alternately; Second, breath control makes the same pitch reappear intermittently. The "trembling Adam's apple" is closer to the second one, but it is not breathing, but the realization of glottis opening and closing, which is extremely difficult to control. Because the opening and closing must be highly consistent every time, otherwise the pitch can't be controlled. Bass is easy to say, but when tenor is high, the vocal cords are closed, leaving a narrow gap. It is unrealistic to control it so finely, and it is often vibrato.
So you should use breath control, because at that time, your vocal cords can keep a similar state all the time, regardless, breath intermittently impacts the vocal cords, so you have time to rest the vocal cords, so it lasts longer. But this method needs good breath control, how long to stop, how long to start and how long to keep. When practicing, you can slow down, practice slowly first, then speed up and vibrato. This is what many friends pursue, hehe! Many people will feel that without Tik Tok, they are not professional enough. I don't know that vibrato is just an expression in songs. Can't you sing a good song without vibrato? Actually, it is not.
The essence of vibrato is that when singing with breath, strong airflow impacts the mouth and the back of the nasal cavity, and the lower abdomen generates airflow due to the pressure of breathing. I don't agree that pop music must produce vibrato so rigidly. Some singers "do" vibrato through the shaking of the Adam's apple, such as "Andy Lau" and "Jeff Chang Shin-Che Xinche" in their throats. These are some tricks or a style, but in many climax parts, there are also strong airflow vibrato. Therefore, breathing is the most basic. With the breath, there will naturally be the impact of airflow to produce vibrato. For pop songs, some low-key places don't need to breathe word by word like singing folk songs, sometimes like whispering, sometimes like sighing helplessly, and there won't be a strong airflow to support your vibrato. At this time, you need to use some tips to modify your ending. I don't think the vibrato of pop songs is completely prominent. Sometimes the Adam's apple shakes and the voice in the throat can be controlled, as long as the whole atmosphere of the song is not affected.
If a friend without vibrato must be drooling over vibrato, let's start with imitation-listen to Andy Lau's songs more. I feel comfortable with his vibrato. I started by imitating him. You can also imitate the ambulance call. Interesting, isn't it? This is just a way to find a way without a vocal music teacher around, which is certainly not a routine vocal music practice. It can make you feel the sloshing of the Adam's apple by making a "cry" with a high and low sliding sound (slightly faster). Slowly change the pronunciation of "Shout" to the pronunciation of "Mm-hmm", then slowly change it to the pronunciation of "You ~", and then sing some songs ending in "You" ... Hehe, this is just a vibrato way to feel the unstable Adam's apple, which has nothing to do with the breath. But everything needs to be done step by step. Try it slowly.
