Breathing from the diaphragm is good. Learn how to phrase lines so you can breathe at the right moments, and work on your pitch. Tape record yourself singing along with someone else--recorded or live. And smile a little as you sing; keeping the corners of your mouth curved will stop you from singing flat. At least this all works for me.

Very true and I like your view on the subject. I for one crave finding that one soul that I can connect to. The heartbeat that makes my own sing in unision. Sound corny, perhaps, but true neverless.\n\nGive me sincerity and my heart shall sing the highest note :)\n\nPS Forgive me for my lameness!!

Try to go with something that suits your vocal range.\n\nWithout knowing what that is, may I suggest: My Immortal, sung by Amy Lee of Evanescence?\n\nIt's a beautiful, dramatic song.  Check it out:

Take care of your voice, don't speak if you don't have to, if possible, let is rest. drink hot drinks, with honey in it sooths. I had been overusing my voice for three weeks, I saw a specialist, she told me to keep it quiet, easier said then done, I went back to see her after a few months and she was suprised it really was improved. so my advice rest your voice as much as possible until you gain your old voice back. Good luck

I have some advice, if you have a good voice don't sing in that style it will probably ruin it if you've never done it before.  Screaming is very, very hard on a female voice.  Work into it slowly.  I almost ruined my classically trained voice by singing in a garage band.  Don't try to sound like anyone else, find your own unique groove.

you don't hear your "real" voice because when you speak/sing, the bones in your ear vibrate and give you a distorted sound. When others hear you, they only get the sound waves and hear what you really sound like. Singers don't hear their real voice, they only hear the notes they sing.. I would suggest going to a voice instructor

First, voice rest is necessary.  Depending upon the degree of strain on the voice it could be a day or two to months.  Soft talking is okay, but singing or voice scales.  If the strain was like you can try easy songs and build up from there.  However, any strain should be felt go back to a full voice resting stage. \n\nAlso, as one ages the voice is one of the first to show the strain so more voice rest between use is important such as between concerns.  \n\nWater is very important to keep the throat moist and lubricated.  So keep a bottle of fresh water handy all the time.  With the right care, a voice can last for years longer, but everyone is different.  Proper care is the key to a longer singing voice.  Good Luck.

And if you don't wanna take voice lessons....i HIGHLY recommend training your vocals...such as use your diaphragm...and once you can talk loud without your voice hurting...work on your pitch...after that just work on technique...every singer needs to be different...i HATE hearing the same voice

Stick your finger down your throat until you barf up musical notes.\n\nJk.  You can't "learn" to sing well.  You can learn to enhance your vocals by taking singing lessons, but a magnificent voice is a special gift that you are born with.  A person could hold a note longer than anyone in the world and still have a crappy-sounding voice.  You have to have the gift first to further enhance it.

i used to be involved in some choirs: at school, my dorm, and a professional choir. i really enjoyed it. and i fell in love with one of my singing coaches. lol. i sang songs from john rutter and some compositions made by my coach. most of them were religious music or folk songs. i performed in some competitions too.. arghh.. miss that moment. i'm not doing any choir at the moment. been studying abroad for a while and haven't been able to speak local language fluently. hope i can do it again soon. =)

Your voice sounds funny to you in a recording because you're usually listening to it from inside your own head.  What you hear on a recording is how other people hear you, so if you don't like it, go get a voice coach or something.

No that is impossible, but because of your spelling of Soprano, I am going to assume that you are a beginner.  If you are young (under 18) I would say that your voice part is completely up in the air.  You should take private lessons with someone who has a masters or doctorate in voice performance or pedagogy.  I am 20 and a voice performance major in college and I am a lyric baritone/dramatic tenor and my voice teachers are still not sure.  So you may just have not been trained enough to find your real voice.  If you talk low that can be damaging to your voice, so talk in a comfortable register.  Singing in the wrong voice part is dangerous to your vocal chords, especially for females.  Take care of your voice, and continue singing and at one point your voice will be definate.  Mezzos have wonderful parts in operas, and whatever voice part you have you will be more successful if you sing in your natural register.

I know, it's hard; you're listening intensely to the music, which makes you listen intently to the backup singers.  \n\nYou need to train yourself to have "selective hearing"; try to concentrate just on the music and your own voice.  You know how when you're having a conversation in a crowded room, you put all your focus on just one person?  It's that muscle.  \n\nIt's the difference between "listening" to the singers and "being aware" of the singers.  It's a skill that can be developed--keep practicing!

Make sure that you can sight read.  \n\nChoose a song that you can sing well, and is in your singing range.  \n\nThey will also have you singing the scales, so they know what voice range you are in, such as Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass\n\nMake sure you can sing on key!  and can hold your singing part when somebody next to you is singing another part\n\ngood luck!

no matter how young or old you are your voice and vocal cords continue to grow. thus you have to excercise them. alos they are a muscle so they need to be wamred up and taken care of. i would suggest begin with good posture feet shoulder width aprt back straight knees lslightly bent the front of your neck short and the back long. also when you breathe you should be able to place your hand on your back and feel you back expand. oh and when singing pronunciation is huge!!! long tall vowels and sing from your diaprham.
