*Is* it excessive? Or is it just not to your taste? A fully supported
sound will mostly have a vibrato which, in full voice, you're stuck with,
though if you don't like it you can either just reduce the airflow (which
will decrease the amplitude) or "do things" with your mouth and throat
which can result in dampening it, or speeding up the vibrato. In my
experience (anyone care to comment?) the amplitude of the vibrato seems
greater in lower notes, and if I spend a long time in the lower reaches of
my voice, singing "like a bass" the speed can be slower too.
Regarding the desirability of vibrato - often it just registers with the
listener as "richness", even although a singer, especially one used to
choral work, may be pathologically aware of any change to the basic tone. I
hope this was of some help. john
