Day 13: Vibrato At The End Of A Sustained Pitch
From: 14-Day Vibrato Course With Camilleby Camille van Niekerk
Description:
In addition to vibrato at the ends of phrases, you’ll also hear vibrato on sustained pitches. This gives life and emotion to a word that might otherwise fall flat.
Our first song example today is “Always” by Irving Berlin. Listen to the melody, in case you haven’t heard it:
C Em
I'll be loving you, always,
G7 G C
With a love that's true, al-ways
“Someone to watch over me”. We’ll use the chorus, which sounds like this:

Ab Ab7 Db6 Dbdim
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Ab Abdim Eb7 Ebdim
I hope that he turns out to be
A#m F7 A#m Fm6 A#m7 Eb7 Ab C7 Db Eb7
Someone who'll watch ov - er me.
Feel free to release that vibrato on any lyric held long enough to do so!
Ab Ab7 Db6 Dbdim
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Ab Abdim Eb7 Ebdim
I hope that he turns out to be
A#m F7 A#m Fm6 A#m7 Eb7 Ab C7 Db Eb7
Someone who'll watch ov - er me.
[Sing with intentional straight tone at different spots]
Ab Ab7 Db6 Dbdim
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Ab Abdim Eb7 Ebdim
I hope that he turns out to be
A#m F7 A#m Fm6 A#m7 Eb7 Ab C7 Db Eb7
Someone who'll watch ov - er me.
Please continue your practice with any song of your choosing, and I’ll see you in our final lesson of this series!
