How to Improve Your Singing Voice Without Taking Singing Lessons

Singing is not just about noise coming from your throat and releasing out of your mouth. Concentrate on singing the same song, but adding vocal inflections by manipulating your tongue, mouth, diaphragm, throat, and even nose. Recording these vocalizations and playing them back can help you to understand your body and the sounds it can produce

Before you practice each song, ask yourself what emotions you'd like to convey to the listener. Then, try to interweave those emotions within each song. Work on thinking of a particular event or moment in your life that evokes emotions similar to the ones that you want to express.

Sing along with a piano and try to match your pitch to the instrument. The lowest and highest pitch points that you can hit without your voice cracking or breaking marks your range. Make sure that you are singing with your chest, not your nose or throat, or you'll identify the wrong range.
