and there's no spot for vocals so I'll just slip this in here.
I was apparently a really good singer(I didn't care to think so but the entire choir and my choir director would always compliment me on my "beautiful voice" and nonsense like that) this past school year(I'll be a senior next year), and well this requires a little more story than I thought. Before this past year(junior year) I had never been into singing at all but I decided I loved it junior year.. and the only reason I joined choir is cause my choir teacher asked me to join(she had never heard me sing, I think she was taking a shot in the dark just because she had heard me playing piano). So I was pretty much a choir noob. The only credibility I should have had is that my range is beyond college choral performers(so I've been told.. as a bass I can hit a low C[two octaves below middle C] and a high F#[the F# above middle C] and my falsetto goes to a high D two octaves above middle C's adjacent D[sorry this was such a confusing use of brackets]). But I caught on pretty darn fast and was soloing and performing in quartets and whatnot.
But I kinda.. well my vibrato was never really that great(and it didn't have to be for the stuff we were doing). It always felt really mechanic and uncomfortable. Right now? My falsetto vibrato is better than my full voice vibrato(don't ask, I have a really good falsetto for a bass). Again right now, I have practically no vibrato talent in my full-voice.
SUM: How do I improve vibrato? Excercises or something? I appreciate the help.
