The ONLY Way To Find Natural Vibrato (Nothing else really works)

Free Voice Lessons: chrisliepe.com/free-your-voice/
My Website: chrisliepe.com
When it comes to vibrato, it certainly seems like some singers just 'have it', while others (maybe you who are reading this) just don't.
...And it doesn't seem like any amount of searching for it or experimenting helps you find it.
Why is that some just 'have it' and are able to use it musically and tastefully? Well, I'm not one to leave this nagging question alone. I'm never satisfied with the "They just have it" throw-away, shutting-the-mind-off approach :)
The truth is... You can't find your vibrato. IT FINDS YOU!
And it only finds you when you create the right environment in your singing and mindset for you to LET it show itself.
In this video, I share some easy exercises and experiments you can do to get your voice and mind in the right posture to summon (and then use) natural, musical vibrato.
Be patient and remember to really FEEL and experience your voice during the exercises I show you!
...And then go listen to a Joe Cocker playlist and see if you can hear the exercises I demonstrate at work :)

    Chris, I've been singing my whole life, I've been in and out of voice lessons and have always been told I was great. I know I'm a good singer, however, vibrato was the missing link I never had. That small beautiful wavering was always out of reach. This video had me being able to reproduce vibrato, on purpose, after the first watch. Today is the second day going through it and I'm already feeling more in control of being able to turn it on and off. I hope you understand how much unlocking this means to some people. I feel like I will now be able to fully express the emotions of music, thank you so much and have a wonderful day.

    I really appreciate this video Chris, as I have never been able to achieve a natural sounding unforced vibrato until I watched this video. The description and way you lead us to the feeling in the chest/abdomen region is helpful to pinpoint what you should be aiming for. I managed to find a helpful shortcut for me to achieve pretty reliable vibrato thanks to this understanding of the mechanics. What I do is having a decent support of the note in the abdomen and diaphragm, when I want to hit the vibrato (and like you said it seems to really work when you change the pitch) I notice my belly goes out instead of up and in, and my chest drops a little and in, maybe slightly compressing. With this I can almost hit it on cue. Thanks so much man 🙏

    I've been mostly using the tremolo technique to achieve the faster vibrato, (I just like the way the really fast vibrato sounds and I've been trying to figure out a way to speed mine up) but it's kind of inconsistent, when I can activate it. I thought it wasn't possible to speed up the laryngeal vibrato until I found this video and tried the techniques. It's not consistent either yet, but after continuing to practice these techniques, I can hear short spurts of the laryngeal vibrato that is much faster than I thought I was capable of. Thanks a ton for this video Chris.

    I'm confused. I've heard people talking about and demonstrating vibrato as a natural oscillation that occurs when breath support, relaxation and pitch all work together correctly. Here you demonstrate vibrato as something done manually from the stomach. Unless I missed something? Which is correct? Or is it a matter of which technique the singer prefers or is capable of? Is "natural" vibrato a thing?

    I’m actually demonstrating what you said at the beginning of your comment, and the exercises are ways to help these things happen naturally!

    @@chrisliepe Right ok then. So, if I practice these exercises then in time vibrato *may appear without the stomach driven oscillations?
