RESUMO

BACKGROUND: vocal vibrato is one of the most important acoustic, technical and stylistic features to characterize the voice quality in classical singers. Technically, vibrato is a pulsation of pitch, usually accompanied with synchronous pulsations with intensity and timbre. Vibrato can be described acoustically by the rate, extent and periodicity of frequency modulations and amplitude modulations of the voice. PROCEDURES: an opera singer student, 25-year-old, lyric baritone, with normal voice from the perceptual point of view. The correction of vibrato is carried through by using the method "Rhythmic vibrato training". One produces a rhythmic pulse subdivision or unit of time during a vowel emission with "time" or speed constant. Subsequently, there is a variation in pulse speed, vowels and melody. The acoustic parameters of vibrato are evaluated objectively before and after training. RESULTS: the patient succeeded to produce a vibrato with rate, extent, and regularity within the normal ranges. Vibrato production was carried through in a conscious directed way by using abdominal and laryngeal activity at the same time. The vibrato continued improving after the training had been completed. CONCLUSIONS: it is possible to train and correct the vibrato in a targeted way through specific exercises, intended for such purpose. The visual biofeedback plays an important role on the outcome.
