When you trill a note, you are singing several pitches on a single beat. The sort of singers most often asked to do this are classically trained sopranos. In the world of a singer, knowing all the techniques is what gives you the edge. Note that trills are quick and deliberate in their expression. To start, choose several notes in a sequence. Starting from highest to lowest, arrange the notes in front of you.

Tips & Warnings
Commit. Complete commitment to your voice is a must. Singing is hard work, and a great voice is earned through the hard work of a singer.
Practicing trilling regularly if you want it to loosen your vocal chords.
You will improve overall vocal quality if your practice regularly as well.
A classically trained vocal teacher will always help you on your journey and it is recommended that you work with one to truly get the right sound and style for your own unique voice.
Be realistic about your voice and range.
Drink a lot of water when you are singing, especially when you are trilling.
Use trilling in your singing in moderation. In the proper place, it can be a beautiful addition to your singing; overdone, one might see it as a strain.
Make sure you take care of your voice, as improper singing can do as much damage to vocal chords as screaming.
Practice makes perfect. Don't expect to get it perfect on the first try. Don't be discouraged, as doing a bit each day adds up to successfully trilling in only a matter of days or weeks.
