Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' in training. I'm dealing with Vibrato this week.
1. Vibrato naturally occurs when the thyroid cartilage tilts but care must be taken that Vibrato does not become extreme & turn into a wobble.
2. Vibrato is a slight variation of pitch around a central note, arising from the free vibration of the true vocal folds and the larynx itself.
3. When airflow is not properly controlled by the breath support system, the larynx may grip, & produce a “bleat”, a fast, unpleasant Vibrato!
4. Absence of Vibrato creates the “white” voiced straight tone which is currently popular among exponents of Early Music.
5. Anatomically, the Early Music “white” voiced straight tone can be described as thin-fold speech quality, with some head sinus resonance.
