What do you mean by goat like vibrato?

Although there are stylistic differences you can learn a LOT from the classical techniques with regard to voice health ... but you also have to understand that you may be required to break those rules in order to do something in pop/rock. From what I understand there are actually teachers who will help you learn to scream properly for metal.
There is a really great singer here who is classically trained but can sing rock/jazz like nobody's business. She teaches voice on the side; but she stays pretty busy. Her husband produced/engineered my last record so I got a chance to know her and her advice to our singer was to not change a thing. The things he was doing "wrong" (in a classical sense) were exactly what was "right" for our band. (Susan Marshall:

The person I'm thinking of with a goat-like vibrato is Gwen Stefani ... I think. It's intentional and it is what makes her sound like her.
