You can increase your vibrato by pushing air out with more force while maintaining your vocal cord compression, but it's not recommended to do so, as you can harm your voice this way. The best way to do it is to practice your vibrato dilligently by singing long tones with vibrato from the very bieginning of the note. As you sustain the note, more and more vibrato will occur naturally, and you'll learn what it feelslike and how to control it that way.

all of your answerers have provided good insights, so far. However, vibrato is an inborn quantity, and trying to add to it can be detrimental to your voice. The normal bandwidth of a vibrato is 5-8 hertz, any more and we sound wobbly, and less and we sound straight. Proper breath control and breath flow will help your voice find the comfortable place where vibrato happens by itself, so please don't push at it.
By the way, Adara has give n you an exercise fro developing an old classical singer's trick,called the trill.
It was the hardest thing to learn, and took plenty of time and patience, not something that a beginner or even intermediate student could be expected to do.
Keep up with your singing, and best wishes

well, as stated above with the other answers, you are somewhat stuck with what you have, however, I was taught an excercise that might help you. Now, you will need to have access to a piano. Pick a note, any note that is comfortable for you to sing, and go up 1/2 step from that note. You will go back and forth between these note slowly four times, that fast for eight time(double time, essentially) and than sing the lower of the two pitcheswith vibrato

Vibrato happens when you relax your vocal chords, and I doubt you can relax your vocal chords more. Forcing vibrato is not beneficial and will probably damage your vocal chords. However, your vibrato DOES change until you're about thirty - when your voice stops changing. So, you're stuck with what you have, and if you force it, you'll probably hurt yourself. Sorry. =[ lol. But hey! You can be better at singing straight tone.

DIAPHRAGM!!!! I dont know tips on how to say this sufficient. First off earlier than you singing take a excellent 5 minutes and simply focal point on breathing. While you breathe as an alternative of your stomach sinking in it will have to inflate like a balloon. That is how you realize your diaphragm is being worked. Also, work on articulating every constanant and vowel that you simply sing, after getting a excellent clear vowel say a long "E" work on altering your voice. Stay in head or chest voice and just pull at your diaphragm. Just right luck for your audition.
