Sing with power from your diaphram. A common misconception that cartoons and that crap give people today is that you breathe by puffing your chest up, and that when you breathe in, your stomach should contract. In fact, breathing is like filling a glass with water; the water shouldn't start at the top and work its way down, rather it should start at the bottom and only fill your entire chest when you're full of hot air (he he). Also, if you think about it, when you breathe in, your stomach should go OUT because it is filling with air. I have no idea where the misconception came from that you suck in your gut to inhale. When you're breathing naturally, you can see your stomach go in and out the right way.
As for vocal production; you have to stand or sit 'as if someone had run a flagpole down your spine'. This unholy description given to me by a musical director actually helps. Another one; sing as if there was an oreo standing up inside your mouth. Basically, this means that you should always have your mouth open very wide. We had a guest singer come once who never opened his mouth more than an inch; he sounded like a moron.
When you're doing low notes, you have to feel the tone coming from your vocal chords, in the middle of your throat. It's important not to sing to loud from this area, or do something like scream, because it's very easy to bruise or tear the muscle. In you comfort zone of notes, the sound should come from directly behind the point that your teeth converge when you bite down, essentially in the middle of your head. High notes come from the nasal area, which is the secret to how the ultra-sopranos make that classic opera sound that shatters glass.
My piano teacher's daughter is a graduate in vocals from Boston University. I've never talked to her much, but she's often wandering about doing scales while buzzing her lips. I've tried this a few times (when I was alone) and I have to say that she must be really good, because it's hard to do without doing it at the top of your lungs. A fun thing we did once was start 'aaah'ing as low as you can, then start rising (try to make no break in the sound when you move from your 'chest voice' to your 'head voice'). Go up untill you're practically screaming and then start to come down again. Also good are scales, arpeggios, and individual intervals of a whole step, a half step, a fifth, tritones, minor thirds and major sevenths.

To sing good, you have to practice day by day. Singing lessons are not generally accessible for some individuals. On the off chance that you can't go to singing lessons, consider rehearsing on your own or utilizing a vocal preparing project. Here are a few things you can do on your own to end up better at singing. It will require some serious energy, yet you ought to start to see the products of the soil of your work soon.

First of all you have to know that your voice is suiable for singing or not? You do not have to goto other people for this. Just take one good recording system, sing a three line song. And just here the same, if you own find the voice is really cool, then you are the right person to start the singing!
Now there is not shortcut for practice practic and onl practice, best luck!.
I would like to here your album shortly...

Well, you first have to make sure you are using your diaphragm and not singing through your throat. Generally you hold your hand over your belly area and when you sing see if it tightnes and pushes out with strong resistance.
Next you have to sing on key so you need to work with a piano and do scales.
After that it's about singing live. Like singing with a choir or a band, even if it's backup.

Take a singing lesson, go to college and practice, practice and more practice. Also, visit your nearby karaoke clubs. You might find some good singers there and ask them too.
