Learning to sing?

I sounded sooooooo bad 4 years ago. How did I do it? I kept singing and singing. Just like getting in shape, you just keep working out, and treating your body right. So, when you sing, try not to drink any syrupy drinks, like sodas (expecially colas), and some liquors. Acidy, like things with lemons, oranges, and such, help clean them. Even gargling salt water helps (don't drink it, just gargle it, and try to get it lower but not low enough to start to choke). Also, just working on songs, but if you chords get really sore, or tiring, or aren't working after a while of sinigng, that means take a break.

Just treat your vocal chords like how you would work out in a gym. It's another mucsle, treat it like one, with care, and it will help you in achieving a good singing voice. Also, try to sing from your gut, not your nose (unless you want that sound).

i agree...that's basically the best advice anyone can give...there's really no other way to explain how to improve one's voice

Stairyway is a challenge at first, but you get the feeling of it after a while, and it's like riding a bike, either that or a gopher.

I'd recommend singing to Gravedigger if you have a low voice, and to something like Boys of Summer by Don Henley if you have a higher voice.
