Description:


The final component we need for vibrato is resonant space and relaxation. I’m bundling them together because the two tend to go hand in hand. So far we’ve worked our way up the instrument, first from breath, then to cord compression within the larynx, and now we’re in the resonators: primarily the throat and mouth,
which filter the sound wave your cords have created and hugely impacts your tone. In this lesson I will demonstrate what more or less resonant space sounds like and how to work on relaxing your face and jaw - which is the hardest thing for beginners, but I know you can do it!
