Best Answer

To vibrato or vib. a handbell, sway the bell from left to right, side to side. This is similar to a shake, however it is against the forwards back movement of the clapper mechanism. This ensures that the bell will not resound but the bell will change in note as it moves. Try doing it at different speeds to get the desired effect for that bell in the the relevant piece.

What does vibrato mean in singing?

A vibrato is a natural pulsing effect produced by breath support and pressure. The vibrato normally starts to develop in later teen years and into the early twenties. By the time you're thirty-five or older, the vibrato is very distinct and rich. The vibrato is a sort of "cheat" to help hold your breath support longer, but it cannot be a forced vibrato. The vibrato will be natural, and you will recognize it when you hear it. A forced vibrato will actually harm your breath support and your pitch will suffer. When you engage your breath properly, the vibrato will kick in on its own.

When you do the vibrato, you must ensure that your wrist and fingers do not move at all. The arm vibrato can be achieved when you move your arm at the elbow.

Make sure that your vibrato can be heard!
