Vibrato Extent

How far pitch deviates above and below the center note (in cents); with rate it fully describes vibrato.

The same F0 undulation with a cents scale: the distance from center note to crest is the extent (± cents); ±100 cents = ± a semitone.

What it is

The depth of pitch deviation above and below the center note, measured in cents — 100 cents equal one semitone. It measures how wide the wobble is.

Where it comes from

Measure the peak offsets of the F0 undulation and take the mean or peak amplitude (± cents). Together with rate, this fully describes the vibrato.

How to read it

Classical singing commonly shows ±25–50 cents up to ±100 cents (± a semitone); extent is more trainable than rate. Too narrow sounds like straight tone, too wide like a wobble; pop styles often deliberately use a narrow extent or straight tone.

Where it is used

Vibrato TrackerL3Vibrato is the periodic fluctuation of pitch and volume during singing, and is an important indicator of vocal technique maturity. This chart evaluates three key dimensions of vibrato.
