Voice Vibrato Analyzer

Hold a sustained note and the tool measures your vibrato rate (oscillations per second), depth (cents), and regularity in real time, with a live pitch-fluctuation graph.

ℹ Vibrato is measured only on a steadily held note — sliding or changing pitch reads as drift, not vibrato. Rate and depth are estimates from your pitch track, and the “healthy” 5–7 Hz guideline is a style convention, not a rule (genres and singers vary widely). Your mic is analyzed live and never recorded or uploaded.

Microphone is off. Click “Start microphone”, then sing one steady note and let your vibrato develop.

How It Works

The tool tracks your pitch live with the YIN algorithm and records the last ~1.5 seconds of pitch as cents above and below your average for the note. Vibrato is a regular oscillation of that pitch: the rate is how many full cycles occur per second (measured from zero-crossings of the de-trended pitch over the real elapsed time, so it doesn’t depend on frame rate), the depth is roughly half the peak-to-peak swing in cents, and regularity reflects how evenly spaced the cycles are. A well-developed classical vibrato is often around 5–7 Hz with a depth near ±50–100 cents, but this varies by genre and singer. Everything runs live on your device; nothing is recorded.

Because it reads pitch only, it needs a sustained, single note — if you slide or change notes, the swing looks like drift and the tool says so. The 5–7 Hz figure is a convention, not a target: pop, folk and early-music styles use less or no vibrato, and a fast, narrow oscillation can be a healthy choice or an unwanted tremolo depending on context. Use the numbers and graph to observe and develop your vibrato, not to grade it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my microphone recorded or uploaded?
No. Audio is analyzed live in your browser and never leaves your device. Stopping the mic releases it immediately.
What’s a “good” vibrato rate?
Classical singing often lands around 5–7 Hz, but it’s a style convention, not a rule. Faster can read as tremolo and slower as a wobble, yet plenty of music uses a straight tone or a distinctive vibrato on purpose.
It says “drift” or no vibrato — why?
You need to hold one steady note. Sliding, scooping, or changing notes makes the pitch wander rather than oscillate, so the tool won’t read it as vibrato.
How accurate are the rate and depth?
They’re solid estimates from your pitch track, measured over real elapsed time. Noise, breathiness, and very fast or shallow vibrato reduce accuracy — sing clearly and close to the mic.
Can it judge my technique?
No. It measures; it doesn’t judge. Whether a given vibrato suits the music is an artistic call for you and your teacher.
