yodelled
Vocalized with breaks
Yodelled is the past tense of yodel, to sing with rapid alternation between normal voice and falsetto, producing a distinctive wavering sound.
The technique originated in the Alps as a way for herders to communicate across mountains: She yodelled from the hilltop.
Also spelled yodeled.
