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.

I don't have any vibrato in my voice right now and I am 15 I practice voice everyday will I ever get vibrato?

Check out the following link: http://www.become-a-singing-master.com/singing-vibrato.html Because you are still young and your voice may be changing it is a little more difficult for you to master the vibrato. Just keep practicing and never give up. Try the excercises in the link provided to help you develope a vibrato. Ever since i was a little girl, all i wanted to do was be able to sing professionally. I didn't know how to do vibrato so, i did what i thought singers did for vibrato. I was pretty crap, but as i got older and kept practising, my voice matured and what used to be crap vibrato, is not a professional singing teacher. So i think the best way to learn vibrato is to do what you think and keep practising because it will improve, I promise you. Try singing along to songs with a slower beat. Pop and rock won't be very good for practising. 'Yesterday once more' by the Carpenters is a song that i recommend. Look it up on youtube. The Carpenters is very good for practising. I was brought up in the time of the Carpenters and i always sang along to them.


You are born with vibrato in your voice when you sing and you hate it how can you make it go away?

Vibrato is a natural function of the singing voice once proper vocal technique is employed in the production vocal music. There is no healthy way to eliminate vibrato in the voice; vibrato is as much a part of the voice as the head is as much a part of the human body. Attempting to sing without vibrato is almost impossible in many cases without inflicting harm on the vocal mechanism itself. All professional singers have vibrato to a degree and should have limited capability of singing straight tones if and when required. If a person desires vibrato in their voice, again, proper technique should be in place. Since the author of this answer is not a professional singer, it would be recommended that one should consult a person who is a professional singer such as a vocal coach/teacher or a choir director. That might yield a better answer for the reader.

How do you arm vibrato?

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. The part of your hand above your elbow must be moving forward and backward together. For violins, the vibrato needs to be at a rapid speed while for the viola, the vibrato can be slower. Make sure that your vibrato can be heard!
