Vibrato......too much, too little.


I made my comment regarding vibrato in relation to other comments being made
about the tendency of choral conductors to make quick fix, or false fixes, in
order to improve the sound of the choir.

All issues, taking out vibrato, emphasizing consonants over vowels etc.,
etc., relate to the miseducation and misunderstanding of how the voice works
in the first place, and results in singers being encouraged to sing in ways
that can be counterproductive and also injurious.
