yodels
Register-switching vocal style
Yodels are vocalizations that rapidly alternate between a low chest voice and a high falsetto, creating a distinctive warbling sound.
The technique is associated with Alpine folk music and American country singing.
To yodel is to produce this sound: She yodeled across the valley.
Figuratively, any wavering or fluctuating vocal sound might be called yodeling.
