singing--tension
First of all, do NOT answer this question if you don't know about singing!
An opera coach told me that I have a really incredible voice and that I could have a really, really big voice if I stopped singing with tension. How do you stop singing with tension?
I can't afford lessons though, because I'm really not rich and my family's broke.

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
Get a piece of construction paper and hold it up to the bridge of your nose. Try to sing over it. My friend Eric had a similar predicament, and this is what he did, and now it's better, and his voice doesn't sound covered up.
Try this. It might be your problem. Also, be sure that you're breathing correctly. 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.
I hope I helped, and if you have more specific questions, plese feel free to ask!

you need to bring your voice from your gut, not from your head. Else your voice will sound nasally.
Also, you should clear the phlegm out from your body. This means to not let smoking become a habit (if it's not at the moment) and to cut back on your intake of dairy products.
* Learn to drop your jaw when you sing. Watch yourself in a mirror. Is your mouth in a vertical position, or a longer, horizontal position? It should be in the latter.
* Often, folks who sing nasally have a lot of excess tension. Remember to keep your throat and mouth relaxed. In particular, watch for tension on the roof of your mouth.

Relaxing is a major part, but another part that goes along with it is that you sing from your diaphram (spelling is off sorry.) correct.. Well, you may be using your lungs for air, use all your diaphram. there are exsersices that can help. But the best thing would be to ask your couch, because every one thinks of it differently and your coach should be able to help you out better than anyone, for s/he knows exsacly what s/hes talking about.
best of luck

don't think too much about how you're singing. think about why you're singing. and that should make you feel better and ease your tension. you're obviously singing becuase you love it and if you really think about how much you love it, the tension will go away instantly.
