first of all, in through your nose and out through your mouth

sit up straight and when you inhale your shoulders should NOT rise up. you have to use your diaphragm when you breathe but most people don't know how to consciously do it. a way to make sure is your shoulders will not move but your stomach will expand when you inhale and go back down when you exhale.

this allows for the most air to support your voice.

and thats all i can help with

you will feel it. your throat will open sorta...if you open your mouth (do this) and pull your bottom jaw in as far as possible and breathe in (make sure your tongue isint blocking your 'throat hole') you should be able to tell the difference right away.

thanks thats helping a little, and that nice novel was very helpful. i'll keep working on it. anyway i saw your post about led zeppelin, its true they are definitly an amazing band. robert plant definitly has the best vocals ever (though i hate what he does w/ his hands while singing) i don't rele know about jimmy page though, what about angus young or clapton? though clapton doesnt really play the same style. who was the lead guitarist in the yardbirds? anyway who's guitar is that on your profile its really sick.

The guitar in his profile is a PRS Dragon i believe.. it's a awesome guitar.. maybe a bit too flashy though. Good advice on singing guys!
