Vibrato cancellation

Just a little helpful tip: if you put a delay on a vocal, set to one half the length of a single vibrato cycle, at 100% of the original amplitude, with no feedback/repeats, it cancels the vibrato, or at least replaces it with a steadier chorused-like sound. This is assuming you don't mind having such an effect.

I've done some pseudo-choirs where I sing all parts in a mock-pompous "pretend you're an opera queen" voice, and I'm never 100% happy with the result. In the process of trying to spice these things up, I first look at what it is about these that grate on me. One thing that stands out is that my vibrato sucks. It sounds too "quavery".

My own vibrato rate is about six cycles per second. A better, trained singer would probably be closer to seven or eight. So one sixth of a second would be the length of one, uh, "bulge" in the sound. Setting the delay to one twelfth of a second superimposes bulges between the existing bulges, so the overall result is more steady. You also have slightly sharp tone mixing with slightly flat tone, so this creates a chorusing as well.
