Do you follows Ayu voice correctly when you sing her songs?

[Deibel]

Of course!! it's soooo funny do it!
and once I tried to extend the vibrato all I could... and I came to a conclusion: never again xD

Besides, a song of ayu without vibrato, isn't a song of ayu!

**sorry for my bad english

Lol, I don't get why the vibrato is such an issue. It sounds normal to me. But to answer the question, I can't really use vibrato. I'm not much of a singer but I try to. Although one night when I was really bored and nobody was home I put my headphones on and belted out a few of her songs (along with a few of Gackt's) to see what I sound like but I can only sing 'decently' when I can't hear myself. Lol. So I turn my headphones up really loud. I'll record myself again one night when I'm alone and upload it for people to comment on. Lol. I'm definitely no good but I'd like to hear the comments, ha ha.

I do that all the time. When I can hear myself, I know I don't sound so good. When I sing along, but I can't hear myself, I think I sound good.

[panda♥]

I do. I think her vibrato is beautiful, but I know some people find it ugly lol.

[pommy48]

@_@ no not really, i don't do that much vibrato, and if i do, i try to keep it to a minimum

[AyUta]

No, not really. I try to make the song more of my own.

[mellody]

LOL
I laugh for a minute reading this thread..

Anyway, it sounds normal for Ayu if using vibrato like that,
Any other singers doesn't like that.. Right?

[yoshino]

hahaz. vibrato became part of the song.. since I've heard so much of that from Ayu.

Jus follow it. It can be fun anw

[terra]

Yes, I do sometimes....and I think it's funny because I didn't do it on purpose but my mouth just sing like that

[panda87]

yea i do, but more like her voice during her My Story era... still with vibratos. i like her style of singing, which influenced my found voice, also influenced by Utada + Yui + Gackt (and his vibratos, which i love)

it seems like, if you don't sing her songs the way she does, you can't get the true feel of the song. for me, that's how it is.

Utada, Yui, and Gackt vibrato??
Wow, ur voice must be so good!!

Copying Ayu vibrato make me tired fast while singing..

[mcluva420]

i actually imitate her 100%..the tone and vibrato of her voice.. even tho im no good at vibrato xD

[Chibi_Venus]

When I'm singing with her, I use my own vibrato (naturally). I never try to match it because when I sing with her I mostly listen to myself, but only use Ayu as like a back up.

If I'm using one of her instrumental tracks, I usually keep my own vibrato. Only in a couple of cases will I use her vibrato, like in the end of "Mirrorcle World." The back up voice uses the same exact vibrato as in the main voice, so it sounds weird if it's not matched. But even then, I don't move my jaw majorly. I simply use my voice, but that can't be good...

[koumori]

I think her vibrato is part of her singing style. ^^

She wouldn't be Ayu-chan without it~ <33

[PinkShinigami]

I only follow her vibrato in a few songs, like GREEN, not because it sounds wierd with Ayu, simply because i can't do it myself xD But i'm trying anyways

[hayasaki]

LOL...

yeah... i do... but it depends on the songs i sing... uhmm.. how should i put it.?

yah.

I usually apply vibrato when i sing ballads...

and i love imitating Ayu's vibrato as well! hahaha

sometimes, When ayu sings, she herself makes parody of her singing... LOL...

[rusuke]

Yes.. I'm used to it.. I make my voice irritating and I tried to hit the high notes as of her high-pitched vocals until my vocal chords shout in pain!
But I don't copy ayu's vibrato when singing in karaoke..

[yagovg]

Ayu hasnt invented a new style of music, she just made the vibrato a part of her style, if you hear her vibrato you can know that it's she even if you dont recognize the song.

I always sing her songs and i try to imitate almost all notes, but well it's hard when you are a boy and you havent got a very sweet voice, but the point is that when i sing them with vibrato i really feel that i'm singing them right.

Just like to sing an ayu song without vibrato is to sing a normal song, not an ayu song. By the way I ask myself when and why she became the vibrato her natural sign.
