vibrato
Pulsating musical tone
Vibrato is a rapid, slight fluctuation in pitch that gives sustained musical notes warmth and expressiveness.
Singers and string players produce it naturally; on violin, it comes from oscillating the finger on the string.
A note without vibrato sounds flat and lifeless by comparison.
Her vibrato was rich and controlled.
