Wobble, but Singers Shouldn’t
So what’s a wobble? This tip
picks up where we left off with our discussion of vibrato. A
wobble is a slow and wide shaking sound or unintended alteration of the
pitch while singing. Usually it is attributed to “aging” of the
voice, but this is really not the case. A wobble is caused by
either a lack of air support or misuse of the voice, and it can be
corrected with proper training. I am proud to say I used to have
a wobble in my voice and was able to overcome it with the proper
training! (Thank you Dr. Baker and Dr. Rundus!) Mine was
caused by an air support issue, and once I was able to learn a better
breathing technique, the wobble was gone. The most interesting
thing about my old wobble was that I never heard it. Other people
heard it in my voice and pointed it out to me. Since it was
something in my voice that needed to be fixed, I was glad for the
criticism! Vibrato is a faster sound than a wobble, and a
true relaxed vibrato is a sign of a healthy voice. A wobble is
not a healthy thing in the voice.
