What are some ways to improve the quality of sound of your voice?
I tense my neck when speaking -- how would you suggest I remedy this?
Also, do tongue twisters help in enunciation??
Thank you.

Tongue twisters help not only with enunciation, but with loosening your jaw in warm ups. They would also help with your neck tensing problems. To improve the quality of your voice...I'd need to know what kind of singer you are. I sing jazz, opera, and concert music. If you sing pop, then I can't help you but to tell you to stop, because you won't be able to sing anymore past the age of thirty. Singing in chest voice, as all pop singers do, puts immense amounts of strain on your voice.
If you sing what I sing, you need to work on your breath support and the constriction of your vocal cords. Both these things will help improve your vocal quality (tone). 1. Try taking a breath, filling your stomacso it sticks out, and hissing slowly for as long as you can. 2. Pretend you're breathing through a straw. It's hard, right? Use the same technique for singing, and you'll be able to hit higher notes, and your tone will automatically change to accommodate your pitch. That is how you constrict your vocal cords, by letting far less air out of them. You should be able to feel the constriction, and you'll be able to hold a note a lot longer, too! 3. Do warm ups involving intervals of more than a third. Try using the vowel sound "ee", and skipping from the tonic up an octave, down a seventh, up a sixth, down a fifth, up a fourth, down a third, etc. It'll help with your range and going over your voice break.
I hope this helped!
