  1. Thanks Draven. That's very interesting about the Middle-Eastern music -- I'll be looking that up. I've found that with keeping good support, it's possible to develop a very light touch, so it's just a shimmer, and I think someone would find it hard to tell it from a regular kind of fast tremelo. Also, I take your point about timing, and, because it's quite a conscious action, it's actullaly quite easy to time the oscillations with the rythmn. I find it very pleasing to use -- I feel I can really control and feel the flow of the notes in a way that I can't get with singing everything straight.
  2. By the way, I sing classic pop songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s
  3. Hi I've been trying to find something on a technique I'm using to produce a form of vibrato/tremelo. The term "bleating" in discussions of vocal technique doesn't seem to cover it, as this term is used to describe a form of vibrato that is said to "sound like" the bleating of a goat. What I am doing is exactly what you would do if you were imitating the sound of a goat bleating. (I suggest you try this now to see what I mean!) It gives a kind of machine-gun stutter of alternation between full vibration of the cords and relaxation. As described, it doesn't seem like a likely candidate for a nice sounding vibrato! However, with practice I'm finding that it can be smoothed out, and it sounds very similar to the fast vibrato of certian singers (e.g. Stevie Nicks). Just wondering if anyone has come across or tried this particualr technique? Is it a safe technique in terms of vocal health? (It feels good to me, but I know this is no guarantee of safety.)
