Tremolo

Tremolo is not a type of vibrato!

Tremolo is a voice movement that indicates dysfunction. It appears when there is incorrect tension and misplaced energy. A tremolo sort of mimics vibrato, but is very fast - like a machine gun - and uneven in its vibratory pattern.

Other negative symptoms will accompany a tremolo such as shaking of the jaw or head, tightness in the jaw, constriction in the throat, and problems with pitch.

Allen Rascoe

Allen has been enjoying singing since he was a little kid. He officially studied voice at ECU and USC. However, he ran into some vocal trouble. The search for healing led him to the studio of Dr. Joel Ewing, and into the world of functional vocal mechanics. Allen has explored vocal truth, and thus highly recommends the writings of E-Herbert Caesari, Cornelius Reid, and William Vennard. He is blessed to invite and accompany folks on the journey towards vocal wellbeing. The adventure awaits!
