Answer:
vibrato is "a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of pitch."
Explanation:
Here is a simple exercise that will allow you to see what vibrato when singing feels like.
Please understand that this is not a finished sound. It's an exaggerated version that will later be honed into something more usable.
Here's how to do the vibrato exercise.
Place your hands at the bottom of your chest and feel where your ribs come together in the middle. Now move your hands slightly below this point. (it's the soft area a few centimeters above your belly button)
Now sing a note on one pitch in your easy range. Any note will do.
As you're singing this note, push in gently with your hands. The key is to push in, then pull out, and push in, then pull out and so on. Try doing this at a rate of around 3 to 4 cycles a second.
Listen to how your voice wavers in a singing vibrato like fashion.
Now it probably sounds a little exaggerated at this point, but this exercise is just give you an experience of vibrato.
Obviously you won't be doing this when you are singing a song!
