The pitch variation and the speed of the oscillation are characteristics of vibrato that determine the richness of the sound. This natural sound effect indicates a healthy vocal production and adds expressiveness to the singing voice. Good.
 
Entrainment: By entrainment is meant the interaction of two separate rhythmic systems so that one synchronises gradually with the other, such as the auditory-motor response of tapping the foot to a musical beat or the synchronisation of the heart beat to an external stimulus.

For instance, when you play a phrase with staccato notes on piano, it must sound like there are gaps or pauses between each note. It better be played without pedal.Grammar - 'it sounds' - present simple as it happens every time (fact); Think of an alternative to 'It better be' (doesn't fit meaning and form is wrong)
