Chosen Answer:
Practise, and try to do a little every day, but never, ever sing if it hurts to do so, or if you have any sort of cold infection or flu that inflames your throat; you can strain your vocal chords and permanently ruin your voice. Also, practise singing above the “break” and below, but don’t push your voice in the couple of notes either side of it, if you sort of get what I mean. Singing should feel very comfortable, and should sound comfortable also. Correct breathing is important, too, to keep the column of air flowing properly through and to avoid your throat “squeezing” the end of a note out to keep its pitch. This needs heaps of practise. I find the best place to do this is on my own in a room with a bit of echo; you can focus on achieving a nice sound and not running out of breath without singing too loudly.

No worry about voice. timi yuro has harsh voice a singer. Whats importance is technique : voice projection, involving inverted breathing inhale exhale.

i found that sound recording software(i use mixcraft) is the best way because i can record, save and replay so easily. i’ve found that the more recordings i have that i can compare to one another instantly, the more i can improve certain aspects.
