The voice you bring to a performance is often dictated by the style of music you're performing. Your vocal technique makes all the difference in achieving your stylistic goals. In this video, Jeannie Gagné demonstrates some best practices for when to sing legato or staccato, and when to use (or not use) vibrato.

Vibrato seems antiquated, but how important. I love that ole Al Jolson tone from the 20s, you never hear that in popular music today either.

What a wonderful music lesson.
It was interesting, easy to understand, and had great demonstrations.
It makes me think that she must be a great class or one on one instructor and makes me feel a bit envious of the people talented enough to hire her skills.

You better sing! Just Whistle in staccato then!

What's the difference between "vibrato" and "tremolo"? Thanks ☺️

@anniecroteau3598

It just occurred to me how amazing it would be to have a voice like hers and not be obligated to preserve it for recording or touring. You could just bust out some incredible notes on your commute, or while you cook breakfast. It's like being a wild horse in a field instead of a racing horse on a track!

i haven't touched a singing lesson in years after taking choir in high school, where my choir instructor was talented and experienced but very, very unkind. you have such a wonderful energy about you, it's the first time i've genuinely enjoyed hearing someone talk about singing techniques in a long time. explained very clearly, simply, and with beautiful sounding examples. thank you for this, it helps me remember how much i enjoyed singing.

Do you have a video on holding a note.I sing lead in Barbershop.We have to hold some very long notes at times as well as singing long phrases.Im ok up to 12,15 seconds but then I run out of breath.
