weird voice thing.. o.o
ok so you know how when really good singers sing, they do that thing with their voice that makes it go up and down.. it kind of sounds like vibrato (the wrist shaking thing) when your playing a string insturment. does anyone know what that voice thing is called and how to do it? cause i really want to do it when i'm auditioning for this musical!

vibrato...yeah, it doesn't sound natural for most. don't try something new like that for an audition. it's not worth it. when it isnt done right or is excessive...it's annoying. (it pissed off my chorus director when all the sopranos tried to do it...) so just do your thing, it will come later. <3

Okay, for those of you who said that's a dipthong, a dipthong is a combination of two pure vowels (Ah, Eh, Ee, Oh, and Ooh) - example: "Sky" the "y" in "sky" is a dipthong because it combines the sounds "ah" and "ee". Even the word "I" is a dipthong. There are tripthongs, but I won't get into that. (I was just forced to take a vocal techniques class I didn't need, so all this is pretty fresh in my brain).
Anyway, to answer your question, that IS vibrato, and singers don't "do" it. When a good singer sings, the air they put forward kind of...reverberates within their vocal folds, and like, spins. It's hard to explain. You have to feel it to get it, kind of. Anyway, the spinning and the placement of the voice causes vibrato.
You can NOT force this to happen. You can injure your voice by forcing something you don't have naturally. That's like me (I'm a soprano) trying to sing tenor.
I can do it, but it doesn't sound good, and it's unnatural. It SOUNDS forced, and anything that sounds forced vocally sounds bad.
If you don't have vibrato naturally, don't force it. It'll come in time if you learn to sing the right way.
I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear, but it's true. Good luck with your audition!

Hi
ok first of all if what your talking about is vibrato then it takes time to devolp and it sounds better natural then forced...and vibrato is more like a shake in your voice then going up and down..dipthongs has more to do with the vowels then the notes...u may be thinking of riffing..i think thats what it is called. thats what like pop stars do..i think that u would be better off auditioning with your natural voice..if they don't like that they its not worth it..Good Luck!
