if you want to add vibration to your voice inhale into your chest not your shoulders support your diaphragm

DON'T force vibrato. It can be vocally damaging if you do it wrong. Your voice is a fragile thing, so be gentle with it.
Also, DON'T listen to pop artists nowadays for examples. They have no idea what they're doing. The only rock singer I've heard with good technique is Amy Lee from Evanescence.
Anyway, vibrato should come naturally to your voice if your throat is relaxed and your jaw is relaxed. The sound should spin, if it's supported correctly, and it resonates. I believe the resonation causes the vibrato.
You can't actually add it consciously unless you're doing it wrong. So just relax allllllll your muscles, use a LOT of air, and sing. I imagine you'll notice that your throat is tense. Try rolling your neck from side to side to relax your throat. It's hard to produce tone without vibrato when all your muscles are relaxed, and it actually takes more energy to keep the tone straight.
Unless, of course, you're young. If you're young, then your vibrato probably hasn't developed yet, and it will, so just give it a chance and don't rush things.
When asking about singing, it helps to tell us your age and gender. Age and gender are both big factors in singing.
Good luck!

Well, just say the sound a lot of times. For example, "ee" you sing "ee" over and over very fast until you get it.

Sometimes it does come naturally, but you can be trained to have it. Most women actually can't do it as well as men can, so keep that in mind.
But some women, like Gwen Stefani in "Trapped in a Box," demonstrate fabulous vibratos.
Definitely ask your voice teacher for tips.
