This means that your voice is not supported by your diaphragm. Try these exercises to improve drastically. It helps if you have a piano or a piano player. Also, ther are free online pitchpipes and pianos that you could use as well.

You should always have good posture. Attain this by bending over to touch your toes and rolling yourself up and your shoulders back.

Get a straw. Sit up straight, and have your feet on the floor-one slightly in front of the other. Try to do this in front of a mirror. Place the sraw in your mouth, and breathe in through the straw. Your back should widen as you breathe in, but your chest should not rise very much at all.

Say "sqeelo" (skweeloh) with an italian accent on one note and then move up and up until you hit the top of your range.

Sing, " Bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble-bee." Play this on the piano, starting on middle C, and play CE DF EG FA GB AC BD C. Play the notes similar to that pattern coming back down the scale.

Go to the higher part of your range and sing, " Ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee," legato, full voice.

Here is a website full of tips and tricks. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I highly recommend the book Singing for Dummies available at Borders and at Barnes and Noble. It comes with a CD that is really great with warm-ups, which are always good to practice.

I hope I helped, and if you have more specific questions, plese feel free to ask!
