laura it was suggested to me by a teacher to try and not to vibrato at all whenever possible as it is detrimental to the health of your voice
She referred me to the vocal chords with the similarity of strings on a guitar or violin, whenever violinists created vibratos on their strings they wear on it alot, causing them to usually break most of the time after continued use... their strings can be replaced but our "strings" we have for life.
Also the machine affect you're talking bout is what vibrato actually does, experts usually complain of the loss of the sound of true pitches with these vibratos,
so the best advice i can give you as i was given, is to not try to create vibrato in places you dont need to, just let your vocal chords create the vibrato when they can(natural vibrato), and try to improve on your vocal control in sustaining a smooth pitch rather than a sound of fluctuating pitch, doesnt sound good at all in my opinion.

--------------------------------- I am afraid I don't know any exercises for vibrato.
I do have a question about vibrato as well though. I have frequently heard singers who's vibrato sounds more like a machine gun than the voice. Is this type of vibrato natural and healthy? Is there any way to alter this type of vibrato so that it sounds less like a machine gun?
Just curious. :-) Laura
