If your goal is to learn how to sing like Jonathan Freeman, who voices Jafar in the Disney animated film "The Return of Jafar," there are several techniques and resources that can help you achieve this.
One aspect of Freeman's unique vocal style is his use of vibrato. This technique involves the quick oscillation of pitch during a sustained note and helps to add emotion and expression to the singing voice.
