Hone your skill in trills (trill vibratos) with this exercise.
As you listen along, start developing a full-body sensation—a kind of mood—for this stylistic element, and take your time with this demanding and precise use of vibrato.
Singing with precision, even while your voice moves back and forth as quickly as possible, requires sharp awareness, a confident vocal connection, and above all, consistent practice. As a preparatory step toward this highly targeted and challenging use of vocal movement, we work with a defined note group.
During the trill, sing 5 notes: shape 3 as sixteenth-note triplets and 2 as sixteenths. (For the half-speed variation: 3 as eighth-note triplets and 2 as eighths.)
Note: For any difficulties, see Problem Catalogue and Suggested Solutions (Module 2, pages 89–113).
This overview offers valuable input and inspiration on the most common problems and challenges, how to recognize them, and which solutions you might consider.
