I am a professional singer.  No it is not usual in fact it is a tell tale
sign of undue stress and tension.  For it to be present in a person so
young as Miss Church is truly frightening.  The neck should be as free of
tension as is earthly possible when you sing and for those oscillations to
be happening means for the most part that there is way too much force being
put on the neck and throat to produce that big sound.  It bodes evil for
the future of any singer with that kind of stress.
