Members jvardon Posted August 10, 2009 Members Share Posted August 10, 2009 Is The Vibrato Used in Falsetto Real? - That's my question. I read somewhere that because falsetto vibrates using only the outer edges of the vocal folds it cant produce a real vibrato and that countertenors have to become skilled at bouncing between to notes to "fake" a vibrato. I've become quite good at this but recently read something contradictory.So I just wanted to get more answers and hear some more opinions. Thanks! As an extra note i don't have any vibrato in my modal register either and have been using the note bouncing technique to try and start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LGMR Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 I sorry, I'm sure you take interest in this, but for me, who cares? If it sounds like vibrato, it's real enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 I don't know...I've never thought about it...*singing to myself in falsetto tones to work it out* Yeah, I think it's real. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dthraco Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 If you are singing in falsetto and have vibrato, it's real. Vibrato is just modulation of pitch. It can certainly be done in falsetto. I would think bouncing between two notes would make a wide vibrato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 I wasn’t bouncing between the notes. By bouncing I assume you mean like the yodelling thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LordBTY Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 From Wikipedia:Vibrato is the pulse or wave in a sustained tone. Vibrato occurs naturally, and is the result of proper breath support and a relaxed vocal apparatus. I'm not entirely sure how 'natural' vibrato is produce... I have a pretty good natural vibrato, me thinks... but I'm not sure it should be applauded. In my eyes, vibrato is a stylization, and - although I use this stylization a lot - it should be something you control and use at your whim. But I digress, I would've thought vibrato is the natural 'wobbling' of the vocal cords... can someone correct me here? It should also be noted that alot of countertenors sing in head voice... not falsetto (it's far easier to do so IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted August 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 from wikipedia.the answer to my question must be no i guess. i was told that countertenors sung in falsetto since most of them are baritones (also read that somewhere). i wish it were easier for me to sing in head voice.my falsetto is way easier and it somehow has gained a very classical sound on the high notes(which i can apply to the lower notes). so i use it to practice countertenor music.
