Christelle Berthon. Singing Through Harmonica

“I play like a singer, not a musician.” Christelle demonstrates how phrasing and vibrato bring vocal qualities to her harmonica performance. In this clip, Christelle shares her unique approach to harmonica vibrato. 🎶 Rather than using the common mouth‑air method, she relies on a throat‑based technique applied mainly to draw notes, blending tremolo and vibrato for expressive phrasing. By treating the harmonica like a voice, Christelle uses vibrato selectively—just as singers do—to give meaning to specific notes. This vocal style makes her playing sound less like an instrument and more like singing with soul. Very interesting and important explanation. Full interview:    • Christelle Berthon.  Interview
