hi, since vocal cords vibrate, it's kind of impossible to "sing without vibrato"; what is usually meant by that is singing without the wide vibrato...
Not so. "Vibrato" is only tangentially related to "vibration". Of course, all sound production entails "vibration," but the predominant characteristic of "vibrato" -- whether wide or narrow -- is the slight =waver= or =variation= in pitch (along with subtle modulations of volume and tone). It is very possible to sing without vibrato.
