Start with good breathing techniques, meaning breath breath from your stomach not from your chest. I know that seems weird but it is what all choir teachers are looking for. Second, stay away from caffeine, it destroys your vocal chords. Third, practice as often as you can. Fourth, either find someone who plays piano, or even better, learn to play it yourself. Finally, have a good teacher, nothing is more important than that.

you need to practice singing from your diaphragm... If you lay on your back and breath, that is where you should be singing from. It will allow more volume, note duration, and a more natural voice. Before singing, you should gargle with a warm to hot salt water. That will break up any flem in your throat. It does help a lot... Practice as much as you can. If you play an instrument already, then practice while playing. Even if you are just searching for melodies. If you don't play an instrument, you should look to picking up the piano at least. That will help you in your musicality and all. Sing in the car, the shower, etc. Practice harmonizing with existing melodies. Practice singing melodies with no accompaniment. Practice scales along with your instrument. Practice melodies along with your instrument... Find some people to jam with. You can sing with other musicians, both vocalists and instrumentalists. Join a choir...
There are so many things that you can do with the voice... Try to do all of it. If you don't have a great voice now, it doesn't mean that you won't a year from now. Vocal chords are just muscles that need exersising... and the act of singing is a learned trait... Remember something that one of my music teachers told me, and take it to heart... Practice enables talent to become ability... And it sounds like you want to do the practicing so you just need to stick with it and from there you will be fine...
Remember one last thing. Being technically great is nothing compaired to being origional... I don't mean being off the wall, I mean being a great musician... Where each note is important and should be treated with care. Melody is color, tone is shading, and the underlying score is your sketch. Use your colors well, and carefully... Then one other thing. Explore all music and always be aware of developing habits. Habits are hard to break, so change things up as much as you can, as often as it feels right.

Stand up straight and takes deep breaths. Breathe from your diaphragm and it will strengthen. Practice singing at church or in a group. Watch how people sing on tv (get videos of singers at your local library) and notice how they stand, how they hold their hands, how loud or soft they are singing and if you can hear what they are saying. There are a lot of different things that make up a professional singer...it's not just singing.

No matter what kind of singer you want to be, you should find yourself a good voice teacher, who will be able to teach you far better than anyone on the internet. Ask at the music department at your local college or university.

DON'T DRINK MILK!
It really makes your throat thick and weird feeling. You will sound really bad.
Also make sure to breathe, annunciate letters/words, and have confidence!
