richard miller makes the point that the ability to sing fast moving
passages is key to developing a truly free sostenuto. many singers think of
the production of the voice as being different for these two types of
passages but, they aren't. the thing that distinguishes them is the rate at
which you change pitch. so, the sostenuto passages should be sung with the
same production as the fast moving passages. you may want to check and see
if there are things you are doing differently when going from one to the
other.
unfortunately, that might not be enough of an answer. it may be
possible that the condition for too much vibrato may exist during your
singing of fast moving passages but, the pitches are changing to fast to
detect it. however, i suspect that your excessive vibrato is the result of
thinking of the production of your sound as being confused with the rate you
change pitches.
