Published on: 21/07/2025

Vibrato gets overhyped, overcoached, and misunderstood. But here’s the thing… You don’t need to *create* vibrato—you need to *release* it. This episode breaks down what vibrato actually is (and what it isn’t), why trying to “make it happen” never works, and how a little silliness might be your fastest shortcut to unlocking it. You’ll hear our favorite metaphors, the difference between natural and manufactured vibrato, and what to do if yours sounds wobbly, wide, or is nonexistent. If you’ve ever asked, “Why don’t I have vibrato yet?” this one’s for you.
