What are some things I can do to get better at singing?
I need to improve my singing ability. I sing rock music and I am ok but I don’t really know what I am doing because I have never had any kind of instruction.
I strongly recommend taking voice lessons with a proffesional music instructor, that way they can work with you one on one and see where your vocal range is. They can also help you expand your vocal range, and they will teach you things to do and not to do to your voice!
Here are some few tips, I have learned from the past..
Make sure before you sing, you warm up your voice first. Just like you wouldn’t jump into running a ten-mile race without first stretching and warming your muscles, give your voice the same courtesy. It is a good idea to develop a regular routine. Repeating your effective warm-up routine before each singing event will help prepare your voice. Here are some specific tips to get you started: relax your body, do some proper breathing exercises to wake up your airflow and diaphragm, hum your favorite song and do some vocal sirens (slide up and down your singing range on the syllable “ee” imitating the sound of a siren).
Make sure you are breathing properly, which is through your diaphragm. When you sing, all your air should be comming from your diaphragm, your diaphragm is the "instrument" never sing from your throat, because the sound will come off as "falceto".
Also know your LIMITS. Don’t try to sing too high or too low, especially not right off the bat. Allow your voice to prepare for this type of action.
If you are trying to reach a high note, some people tend to hold their breath as they sing higher. LET THE AIR FLOW. You can also increase your breathing capacity by doing many different types of breathing exercises everyday.
DRINK plenty of water! keep those vocals hydrated! Stay away from caffeine, because caffeine is said to do damage to your vocal chords, and don’t overuse or abuse your voice.
Don’t talk for extended periods of time, Don’t “talk over” loud noises, Avoid whispering. Whispering is said to do harm to your vocal chords. All of these actions are stressful to your voice and will cause vocal fatigue.
and most of all, just practice practice practice. Because practice makes PERFECT! Just follow those simple singing techniques, and you will soon see a change in your voice! But taking voice lessons will be totally worth it =)
GOODLUCK!

Look up the music dept. of a local university online and call someone in the choral dept.
Ask them if they know of any students that give private singing lessons.
They almost always have a list of students that give private singing lessons to make extra money. They usually don’t charge a whole lot either.

Stop smoking! I used to have a voice that would make an entire room shut up (in a good way), it has deteriorated really badly over about 3 years due to smoking!!! I can’t quit but if you do smoke you should at least try, good luck!

Dude just practice. Have fun. Try to figure out what you could do better at whether it’s high or low tone. I sing. I am good at it. I just have fun. Other people can’t really help you. I found that it is easier to just try to improve by yourself.

I was told once by a singing instructor, that breathing lesson, and correct breathing can make the world of difference.
If you can afford lessons, maybe this will help. Good luck, and remember to send me a signed copy of your first hit

Get a few singing lessons, learn how to breathe properly and do daily vocal exercises. Practice makes perfect!
Local music instrument shop, colleges or rehearsal rooms should have a list of singing teachers that you can contact.
