One of the signature elements of Patricia's voice was her vibrato, which she employed with great skill. If you want to learn to sing like Patricia, it's important to start with your vibrato technique. Vibrato is a natural fluctuation of pitch that happens when the muscles in your throat become relaxed. To learn vibrato, start by practicing your breath support with exercises like the Farinelli Breathing. This exercise will help you control your breathing and develop the strong lungs necessary for beautiful singing.

Once you have control over your breathing, you can start practicing your vibrato using exercises like the Bouncer, as well as with scales and arpeggios. Vibrato is a subtle technique that requires patience and practice to perfect, so don't get discouraged if it takes you some time to get it just right.

Another element of Patricia's unique style of singing was her stunning belt voice. Belt, also known as belting, is a technique that involves using the chest voice to create a powerful, full-bodied sound. To learn how to belt like Patricia, you can use vocal training exercises like those found in Singing Carrots' Pitch Training program. This program will help you build your vocal agility and develop control over your chest voice.

Patricia's also related to the power of proper breath support to avoid constrictions.
