Week 50: Trill

Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' in training. I'm concluding Vibrato this week & dealing with Trill.
1. The voice is seriously affected when the vocal folds try to control the airflow at the same time as they are vibrating to speak or sing.
2. Control of airflow in singing should only be done by the breath support system & not by the Larynx, which would create a false Vibrato!
3. Speech quality does not lend itself to Vibrato, but it may be added deliberately to the tone for effect, particularly at the end of phrases.
4. A Trill is a controlled Vibrato produced by a well-supported, free larynx, rising & falling rapidly in the throat to encompass two notes.
5. The Trill is viewed in the Bel Canto school as the finished product of a well-trained and well-produced voice.
