  1. Good evening, I am a beginner just-for-fun singer, the extent of my experience being singing about an hour each day in the car on the drive to/from work. I have been doing this for the past 2-3 months or so, give or take. Anyway, I am curious about vibrato and its different forms. I have read that there is a false vibrato and a true vibrato, but it seems like there is more to it than simply two forms. While singing, I have produced a vibrato-like sound in four different ways. Actively/continuously pulsating the diaphragm, changing intensity of air flow Actively/continuously changing throat shape Passively while holding some notes, sometimes a faint vibrato sound will appear Passively while transitioning between certain notes at certain intensities, a vibrato sound will appear Now, I have read that the 1st is false vibrato. Does it have any valid uses? What is the second? Another false vibrato? Is the third a true vibrato? Or am I hearing things? Seems subtle. What is the fourth? This has sounded the best to me, so far. Finally, I have heard many singers manage to put vibrato on what sounds almost like a melodic talking voice. Soft voice, no umph to it, at the lower end of their range. At this point, I cannot imagine how they do it. Does anyone have any insights? Is this an active process, with continuous changes on the part of the singer corresponding directly with the sound being produced, or is it a deliberate but passive thing where the correct frequency, intensity, throat shape, etc are simply maintained or smoothly transitioned? I have also read that an open throat is more conducive to vibrato, but most of the spontaneous vibrato sounds which have come out of my mouth have done so with a wide but somewhat flat-feeling throat. Again, any insights?
