I have seen singers on tv and in performance (not classical ones but pop,
gospel, soul, jazz) who, when they sing vibrato move their chins, that is
they wiggle them up and down evidently to create the vibrato or else they
are jiving to the inner vibrato maybe. How does this work? Can it cause
problems such as tmj? Just curious. When I sing vibrato I do not feel the
vibrations anywhere near my chin.
