<p>I don't know if anyone on here can help me or not, but I'm having trouble with the vibrato on my lower notes. On a whole, my vibrato seems to slow down when I go for some of my longer-lasting low notes on some of my audition pieces. Does anyone know what I could do to help improve this? I don't notice it as much when I'm singing, but when I listen back it sounds horribly awkward.</p>
<p>Is this recent? Any chance you've been straining or overworking your voice lately?</p>
<p>I have no idea what causes a vibrato to broaden, but my S does, his kinda was doing that a couple of years ago and he got it straightened out. I will ask him when I talk with him next. Proably tonight, and I'll let you know what he says.</p>
<p>Consider posting this question in the music major discussions. There are even more people on that in vocal performance.</p>
<p>no strain, no. I am with a new voice teacher. It's been about 4 months with him his technique is anti- everything I've ever been taught, and I'm just assuming my mind hasn't fully wrapped around it yet to improve my lower register.</p>
<p>I did read somewhere that it would make sense for lower notes to have slower vibrations, but I really just need to speed it up. </p>
<p>If it helps, I'm a male. tenor.</p>
<p>My voice teacher just brought that up to me also. First off, are you really a tenor? Some people call themselves tenors, but really have to strain for their upper register. I used to think I was a tenor, but in reality I am a baritone-tenor. Do you strain yourself, even the slightest, to reach a G or an A? And can you sustain those notes without straining?</p>
<p>About at what notes does this uncontrolable vibrato start? For me, it started at about D or C.</p>
<p>I got around this problem by taking a big breath, but not completely full then exhale, pushing a lot of air out (more than you normally would) as you sing the notes. It's all in the breathing technique. If you let more air out of your lungs when you sing the lower register, the sounds will be very toned and smooth.</p>
<p>Thats probably a pretty bad explaination of my technique, but that was the best I could do :/</p>
<p>Good luck!

<p>I guess my one response would be, what do you mean by strain? I used to be a squeezer to reach my high notes, but now with my new voice teacher who teaches strictly expansion, I don't really ever feel "STRAIN!!!!" like I used to. But, currently, I would say that I'm probably similar to your range, except that I really can't hit low notes at all. I bought the MT Anthology for baritone and I'm almost inaudible through most of the songs that begin on a C. It's just, I would definately not be a tenor in the Operatic sense, but in the musical theatre world, I could definately be a contendor with a few more years of vocal technique, since most songs don't go above a G. Does that makes sense.</p>
<p>but, yes, I've been finding the more exhalation, the better the low notes. THANKS for your input!</p>
