According to the Harvard Brief Dictionary or Music, a "glizma" isn't actually a thing. It's not even a word. So, my advice to you is to stop listening to whoever taught you about "glizma"s, then go find a good classical/jazz vocal teacher, because those are the two best ways to learn to sing really well.

I have no idea what the hell glizma is, but to if your looking to develop your voice and vibrato vocal lessons are the way to go. Ask your chorus teacher or search online for some teachers in your area. The only way to aquire vibrato is if your singing correctly and it will naturally come and develop over the years. If you're not singing in a way that is healthy and the way you should be than you won't be able to obtain any vibrato. You'll notice that some opera singers shake their jaw while holding long notes...that creates fake vibrato and you don't want to do that. So look for a voice teacher in your area and get started! Good luck!

Just a wild guess here, but do you mean "glissando" for glizma 2?
If so, then both terms are vaguely related as they both indicate ways to make changes in pitch.
Vibrato is a slight variation in the pitch where the singer moves only a small distance and then immediately returns to the pitch repeatedly. This normally happens naturally for most singers. It gives some "richness" to your tone.
Glissando is moving from one note to another - often quite far apart - by sliding smoothly through all the pitches in between. The term is sometimes used for the voice but generally for instruments. For the voice the equivalent term is portamento (carrying).
I'd seriously suggest that, to improve your voice, you need to have someone who knows what he's/she's doing hear you and work with you. That simply can't happen in any meaningful way on line. The investment in a good teacher will not only get you there faster, but also help prevent you from making possibly serious errors that can hurt your voice.

I think that you might mean "melisma," and no, it's not the same thing as vibrato. In music, melisma--commonly known as vocal runs or simply runs--is the technique of changing the pitch of a single syllable of text while it is being sung. (wikipedia) Mariah Carey, Beyonce and everyone on American Idol are big users/abusers of this technique.
Vibrato has already been addressed in previous answers, so there's no need for me to do it again.

What is "glizma"? I've taken voice lessons before, and I've never even heard of the term. As for further developing your voice, the best teacher is experience. My advice is to just start singing whenever and wherever you can...join vocal groups, do karaoke, sing in the shower, whatever works for you.
Buona fortuna.
