Tutorial on how to sing in the whistle register/ tone/ range

Here are some videos that should help you understand the whistle register a little bit better. There is no quick answer to teaching yourself this technique but its been said that anyone can sing in this register with the correct training and commitment. Adam Lopez- yes it is possible for men to sing whistle notes- said that he taught himself how to sing in the whistle register by practising and building his range slowly over time. The most important thing to remember is if it hurts when you try than you must stop because you are doing it incorrectly.


Brett Manning vocal teacher to the stars shows you even a man can sing those high, whistle, notes. He even explains how he achieves them.

What is Vibrato and how to sing with it

What is vibrato?
Vibrato is a musical effect consisting of a regular pulsating change of pitch; think that wobbling sound that Divas like Celine Dion and Whitney Houston  make when they are sing and hold that big note at the climax of one of their songs.

Tutorial teaching you how you can apply Vibrato to your singing:

1 Open the back of your throat. You can do this by yawning. Try to keep that feeling in your mouth while you sing.
2 Relax your muscles completely, if you do not relaxed than it will be harder for you to get a vibrato.
3Remeber to incorporate all the techniques that good singers do;

  • Sing with your diaphragm.
  • Breath correctly
  • Relaxed posture
  • Hydrated Vocal chords.

4.Now sing any note but lets say for example a C
5.Next sing the note, or tone, below or above it ie a B or a D if you started on a C
6. Slowly alternate between the two notes, going backwards and forwards between them.
7.As you gain confidence speed up the alternations between the notes.
8. Congratulations You should be singing a note with vibrato!
