to all people who can sing, how do you do it?

Question

I really dig that 'quaver' when the last words of a sentence is being sung out. Kinda like an opera singer or a humming bee if you know what i mean. Kelly Clarkson is a real good example with this special voice i'm on about.
To people who can do that with their voice, how do you get it to 'quaver' or 'shake' that last note you drag on?
I'm always trying to do that i think it sounds cool haha. Any advice/vocal exercise tips on how to do that? How challenging can it be to do that or are you just BORN WITH IT? Thanks

Answer 1

Oh, that is easy but takes time.
Here are the steps:

1.) Practice breathing from the diagram. Pretend the air is bricks as you inhale. That is how you must breath with singing.

2.) Sit in a chair. Sit up straight (or stand).

3.) Try to sing the vowel sound AH, EE, EH, I (pronounced like the letter i) , OO, OH. While you sing each vowel start with AH and go AHHHHHHHHHHH. Like when a doctor says say AH but sing the note. Start off with the note low and the bring it to a normal pitch and the bring it back down to a low pitch. Hold each note for at least 6 seconds (after you get the hang of it you won't need to count the seconds).

4.)Do this for the rest of the vowel sounds. The better you are from breathing at the diaphragm, the longer you can hold the note.

5.)Practice at least 20 mins a day. If you need to stop and get water do so. If your voice cracks a little that is okay.

6.)If your voice is tired, stop!

After a few days of doing this your voice will begin "vibrate" while singing. After you do this for about two weeks, you will have better control over the "vibrations".

P.S.
You are not born with vibrato, it comes through the practice and continuously singing. But, you must be born with a good sounding voice.

Answer 2

"Dude" like it's called vibrato. You just don't wake up one day and say "Hey I want to be a professional singer" and just do it. It's called practice. You have to learn the basics and go from there. They have these things called voice coaches. A voice coach should be able to tell you if you "Got the pipes". just because you can sing doesn't mean you are going to be the next Axel Rose. Get a tape recorder and sing something on it.Save it and practice singing for a month then record something else and compare the 2. Go rent a copy of The Sound Of Music. That's exactly what a voice coach will have you do. Rock on

Answer 3

Hi Lee! I know exactly what you're talking about! Some people can sing but they dont do the shaky thing on the end. When Whitney or Mariah do it then sometimes their jaw quivers too. Maybe you should try to do the jaw thing? lol! Seriously tho, maybe it works. Also, Ive found that since Ive stopped smoking, Ive had more power in my voice and the shaky thing came out a bit stronger. Hope this helps! Good luck with your singing.

Answer 4

Sing of well matters no longer dangerous, sing of glad no longer unhappy. Sing, Sing a music, sing it practical to final the complete night time lengthy. Don't fear if its no longer well adequate for any individual else to listen to, simply sing, sing a music.

Answer 5

usually you are born with it but these days all of the technology that makes your voice sound much better, though also you need to practice singing a lot because you are not born to hit every note so practice makes perfect

Answer 6

the voice is building is not there by itself! If you have a good voice and never exercising it you are going to lose the game. You have to do some exercise, go to an Odie and tell them that you want to exercise your voice and they will help you
