Help with buzzing during vibrato

I’m normally a very chilled out guitar player, but I got incredibly wound up today as I can’t stop my strings from buzzing when doing vibrato. I’ve been taught the wrist pivot movement and that vibrato “is all in the wrist and not in the fingers”, which I tried, but my strings won’t stop buzzing because I’m pressing too lightly on the strings. I press harder which stops the buzzing, but then I can’t do an effective vibrato. This has been annoying me for weeks, so any tips would as always be greatly appreciated

If the strings don’t buzz when you are not doing a vibrato Then it’s something you are just going to have to work on by pressing slightly harder. What happens, is from doing the wrist motion you have a natural tendency to lighten up the pressure on your fingers to The String. Believe me, it took me a long time to get a Good wrist vibrato comfortably. And I also experienced the same problems.
