Do you sound better if you sing with a brodo? Experts on singing, please!!!?
Sometimes I have I brodo (or vibroto) but I often come of sounding with one tone. If two people, for instance, had the same tamber, but one had a brodo,does that mean that the one with a brodo can sing better than the one without one? If so, how can I produce that sound all the time like I do when I'm really inspired in someway or I just ate and brush my teeth? Why can I only produce it sometimes and not all the time? Why how come when I sing softly sometimes, I can make that brodo sound but only when I'm inspired by something I can sing with a brodo clearl and distinctively?
In choir, I listen to the other girls and I sound more like them, but when I leave , I can sing way better than i did in choir, why is this?

Some of your answer is subjective by nature, as use of vibrato is a matter of the style of music in a choral setting. For instance, one should sing straight-tone (no vibrato) in vocal jazz due to the tight harmonies involved. Multiple singers with different rates of vibrato and the minor pitch fluctuations that go along with it would not result in a good choral sound. However, some directors might prefer that the singers use light vibrato in a piece of another style, especially over longer held notes. In short, one with a straight tone is not a "better singer" than one with a good natural vibrato, or the other way around.
In terms of producing a vibrato, it is something that primarily is directed by the quality of your breath support. A breath support exercise I do with my classes is as follows: Take a deep breath over several counts and allowing your diaphragm to extend (keep your shoulders down and relaxed!). Then make a hissing sound as your expel the air. With practice you may be able to hiss for 16-20 counts and really feel your diaphragm contract.
The worst thing your can do is the artificially manufacture a vibrato by "shaking" your throat or moving your stomach to cause a wobble. These methods not only hurt your breath support but will result in you changing the pitch to make vibrato. If you sing without vibrato, but you can sing on pitch you should embrace that!
I recommend imagining your sound as a laser beam coming out of your mouth and heading towards a target. As it goes to that target you just want to imagine your beam getting a little wavy as you warm up the sound. Over time, you'll get the hang of it. It will come as your learn and your voice matures. Keep singing!
