Ever since I started to listen to you I was amazed at your tone and ranges. I could listen to you all day. I do play your singing while I am in the car and it rejuvenates me. Thank you and I pray 🙏 God and Jesus be with you always.
The true measure of a master is one who makes it LOOK effortless. David makes it look effortless as we sit with mouth agape at the result. Unbelievably magnificent! Thank You Lord and Thank You, David! Blessings
David's vibrato is unlike any other singer's. Puts him next level~~where other singers can only wish to be. Bravo, #DavidPhelps 🌹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We collectively thank God for you and your spectacular gifts that you share with a world in need of Hope!!!
Absolutely fantastic! David is amazing. I'm one of those that vibrato doesn't happen naturally, so hearing David's take on alternate forms of usage is great. Can't wait for the next episode! 😁

Yeah! Vibrato always has pitch - you'll notice that David corrects himself and says that it may indeed have pitch - but there are indeed different types of vibrato! :) -NYVC
Fantástico! Durante anos sonhei com momentos assim, onde DP pudesse compartilhar um bate papo sobre suas vivências e suas técnicas, obrigado por nos agraciar com isso.
He was told to use straight tone for french songs but french variety has plenty of vibratos to me...? 🤔 Or less in french classical music compared and that's why he was told that. 🤔
Vibrato is literally going above and below a pitch. You cannot have a vibrato without a variation in pitch. I was waiting for them to talk about what vibrato is, musically.
There's also tremolo which is a variation in volume rather than pitch. I've noticed some singer's vibrato is actually a tremolo and wasn't sure how they did it until David showed his solar plexus technique here.
Hi Craig! Yes! Great point. You’ll notice that David corrects himself at that moment and communicates that it was just his impression of what was occurring. -NYVC
You're not incorrect, but I'm not sure what the point is you're trying to make. As a singer, vibrato comes from being totally relaxed and using lots of air, like David talks about at 4:43. This is something that naturally happens when people are really using their voices without adding tension or anything weird to get in their own way. When non-vocal musicians add vibrato, they have to manufacture it, and consciously think and produce a variation in volume and pitch; for most instruments, nothing like that occurs without someone making it happen (like trumpet players gently shaking the trumpet, or string players wiggling their finger). Unfortunately, a lot of singers also think vibrato is something you "do", rather than something that simply "happens". When singing, at least when using vibrato like David describes at 4:43, you don't need to think about changing pitch, rather just opening up and relaxing while using lots of air; this feels like returning to the default for a lot of singers with classical, bel canto training. I could be reading too much into your comment, and maybe you know all this, but in case not, I want to help people understand how vibrato works. I guess it's just my little crusade against bad, fake vibrato :)
What David is really talking about is maintaining the central pitch BEHIND the vibrato, rather than letting the vibrato cover such a wide spectrum of pitch that it can throw off the overall sound. He just didn't do a very great job verbalizing this.

Another great one -- that distinction between the two vibratos was interesting (pitch vs energy) !
Yeah! Vibrato always has pitch - you'll notice that David corrects himself and says that it may indeed have pitch - but there are indeed different types of vibrato! :) -NYVC

Gud job🎉
Song title please. Does the intro also have a full video for it ?
The song is called Just As I Am. Davis wrote it. ua-cam.com/video/fCbRQWi-axE/v-deo.html
It does! The song is “Just As I Am” and can be found on David Phelps’ UA-cam Channel. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/fCbRQWi-axE/v-deo.html -NYVC
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching Thank you very much for responding sir ! Have a great day !
🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏼 -NYVC
Deberían hacer videos doblados al español o con subtitulos en español para poder entender lo que dice Mr. Phelps
Saying straight tone is a No-No in 2022 is such a laughable joke 😂
Lol! -NYVC
You have to understand that he was in a classical environment, where singing with vibrato is the standard.
Ive never heard it referred to any other way
Vibrato is literally going above and below a pitch. You cannot have a vibrato without a variation in pitch. I was waiting for them to talk about what vibrato is, musically.
There's also tremolo which is a variation in volume rather than pitch. I've noticed some singer's vibrato is actually a tremolo and wasn't sure how they did it until David showed his solar plexus technique here.

Vibrato can go below or above pitch and you don’t need that much air to do vibrato
