Wow, somebody really doesn't like vibrato. Reminds me of an early music
lover I used to know. I think there's a difference between a healthy vibrato
and a wobble. I sang with a straight tone when I wasn't breathing properly
and I had excess tension, and it wasn't until I developed proper technique
that the vibrato came out. Surely singing in a relaxed and well-supported
manner can't be wrong!
