Hello, listers.
I have a student who has progressed very nicely, but does not have vibrato
when she sings. No, I know vibrato is a function of healthy breath support,
but here's the clincher...
When she hums (without thinking about it) she has a lovely, healthy vibrato.
But when I ask her to hum in a vocalise, the vibrato is not there. We've
spent some time in the last two lessons trying to isolate the humming and what
is happening that is causing the vibrato, but we haven't had much success. I
do think sometimes that concentrating on trying to add vibrato to her tone
makes it much more elusive.
Any suggestions?
If it's any help, this student is in her late twenties and has a light
lyric/coloratura type voice.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
