Songs that make it easy to practice vibrato / Recommended songs for those who want to practice

Do you ever think, “If only I could master vibrato, my singing would sound so much better…”? Vibrato—the technique of gently oscillating the voice—is an essential expressive tool that adds depth and emotion to a song.

However, not every song is suitable for practice.

In fact, songs that make it easier to produce vibrato share certain traits, and the right song choice can significantly speed up your progress.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of songs with plenty of long tones that make applying vibrato easier, as well as numbers that are ideal for practice in terms of vocal range.

Find the one song that adds a new layer of expression to your voice!

Tokyo Jihen is a music unit centered around Ringo Sheena.

Their songs are still frequently sung at karaoke, aren’t they? Among Tokyo Jihen’s tracks, one I particularly recommend for practicing vibrato is “Nodoteki Sanpunkan” (Active Three Minutes).

Though wrapped in a jazzy vibe, this piece surprisingly features vibrato quite often.

Rather than orthodox vibrato, it lets you practice a jazz-style vibrato—tightening the voice while applying vibrato—so be sure to check it out.

It’s Shota Shimizu’s 20th single, released in October 2015.

It was used as the ending theme for the TV drama “Designer Baby – Detective Hayami’s Tough Case Before Maternity Leave.” The ballad-like tone and Shimizu’s slightly boyish voice leave a strong impression.

Not only is vibrato used effectively on the long notes, but there are also many passages where the pitch changes continuously to connect the vocal melody in a curving, legato way.

Because of this, I think it’s an ideal song for studying and practicing pitch-inflecting vocal techniques.

Through this track, try to discover a rich, expressive use of vibrato.

In conclusion

Through songs and practice pieces that make it easier to produce vibrato, have you been able to feel the joy of adding a gentle wavering to your voice? Whether the song is suited for men or women, finding one that matches your own vocal quality is the quickest path to improvement.

Of course, some pronunciations make it easier to apply vibrato, but don’t rush—keep singing repeatedly within a range that feels comfortable.

The moment you start to gain gradual control over your voice will surely be a uniquely rewarding experience.
