I have noticed some pop singers doing the chin vibrato thing.(eg.Whitney
Houston) I presume they are taught to do this to encourage a vibrato
sound, but have been amazed at the number of singers I have noticed
doing it. I was never taught this, but that it was a natural flowing of
the voice in proper placement. I can make my voice do this, but was
never encouraged to do so. I find many younger singers seem to imitate
it, or produce it, sometimes giving a wobble sound to their voice. Would
be curious as to what others think.
