Try to pinch your lips together and go wooo woo wooo woo woo w000000!
See what comes out. I play vibrato on everything. The only way to be a classy clarinet player is to have a fast and wide vibrato. Some people say that I sound kind of like a ray-gun from a sci-fi movie but I think it's pure beauty.
Look at all of the other instruments. They don't pretend that vibrato is impossible like the dim-witted clarinet players.
I would suggest that you put the metronome on at 60 and do one "wooo" per beat until you perfect it. Then try doing "woo woo" each beat and you are almost there.
Keep it up!

You need to use your diaphragm. A teacher should be able to help better, but whatever you do, don't use your lips! That's only for the lazy.

I use lips when play vibrato. And it sounds prety well. When you practice on vibrato you should to use tuner. Pith must to go below "zero". But not to much. Do it flexible and relax.

I agree with Mikalick. Like I said.
Pinch the lips together and go woowooo wooo woooooo
Try to do it wide and slow. Then speed it up to about 80 occilations per second.

You perform a slide with your lips. Imagine an opera singer - they don't use their lips to perform vibrato, because they're too busy singing with them! You should be too busy maintaining an in-tune embochoure, so your vibrato needs to develop at the source of the air. Try laying on your back and breath. Put your hand on your stomach. This is how you should be breathing when playing a musical instrument. Many people use their chest to breath, but you can greatly improve your lung capacity by using the diaphragm. Not only does this improve how long a note you can play, but it strengthens your diaphragm and makes a vibrato easier an cleaner.

Well, on flute, sax, and clarinet I prefer diaphrahm(sp?lol) over lip because its slightly easier and helps with response. But occasionaly I use lip, when I feel like it....
Use whatever is more comfortable to you!
