I stink at singing.
I can't really get a teacher right now.
I would love to know if I'm singing through my nose or not. When I record my voice.. I hate it.
I'm looking for a kelly clarkson-ish voice. And I'm either a mezzo-soprano or a soprano. Anyways.. How do you know if youre actually singing right or not?

Okay. How to tell if you're singing right:
Breath in deeply as much as you can.
Start to sing.
Can you envision this air coming from your lungs, hitting the top of your mouth, and spilling out of your mouth? It helps me a lot when I sing. I'm a soprano/alto, I have a high range.
Also, a good way to practice and open your lungs up is controlled breathing. In for eight seconds, hold for eight seconds, and out for 16, like you're blowing out a tiny candle.
After you open your lungs, try some warmups. My teacher likes to get me to sing nonsense syllables, but these help on pronunciation in singing. She uses doh-may-nee-poh-two, going up one note on doh, may, and nee, and down one in poh and too. Try going up the scale one every time you do it. Hard to write out, but easy if you've heard a choir warm up ;D
You might hate your voice when it's recorded, but most of the time we normal people don't have the good equipment needed to record it properly. Your breathing, the acoustics in the room, everything makes a HUGE diference. Another factor is the "it's me and I can improve" factor. It's like school photos. Your mom loves them, but you notice the little weird part in the smile and the way your hair just HAD to do that, and... and...
Just keep practicing your singing. Consider joining your school or church choir, the tips you learn in there are great for general singing.
One of the most important things is to NOT STRAIN YOUR VOICE. Always warm up before you sing a song with very high or very low notes. You don't want to sound like a grunge singer, now do you?
Oh, and remember these diet tips, too:
Water is good. It is good to oil up the works a bit.
Hot decaf tea is good. It soothes the throat and can help keep excessive "oil" out.
Mints are good. Why- I don't know. They are soothing to the throat though.
Milk is bad. It causes large amounts of mucus to accumulate. Too much "oil" can clog up the system.
Sugar is bad. It can coat your throat- not good for singing.
Good luck!

well american idol is basicaly "what no to do" when singing... all the screaming out high notes is BAD for your vocal chords.
anyway, for the nasal-y thing, hold your nose. if you can still soud like yourself while holding it, you're not nasaly. if you can't, you need some work. <3

ask the choir teacher of your friends if you're

...singing with correct pitch?
Kelly Clarkson is a mezzo or an alto. Your voice most likely will never sound like hers. Everyone's voice is unique.
Please clarify your question, don't rate until you do, and let me help you!!

You could tell if you're singing right if you're doing it with emotion,if it sounds right,that it follows with the rhythm of a song you're singing,with feeling,and with great energy as well.

Lay down on youre floor and sing. That way you will definetly know if you are singing thru ur nose. When you lay on the floor and sing you just sing regularly and not thru youre nose. I learned this on american idol.
good luck
