try to keep your throat open and don't clench, sing from your diaphragm. Stay hydrated, drink water on the regular, it makes a huge difference when you have a healthy instrument to work with.
Also something that helps is lubricating your throat before you sing. Not water, i'm talking pineapple juice, or a spoonful of olive oil or honey. [ bismarcck's advice column | Ask bismarcck A Question ]

Anyways Our teacher told us to (if you have a piano) make the lowest key you can sing, and then the hight key you can sing. After a few practices of singing between those keys go further and you will get better. :) [ BlueiPod's advice column | Ask BlueiPod A Question ]

-When you breathe in, your stomach should noticeably expand. When you sing, it should slowly get smaller.
-Look at the muscles in your neck when you sing. They shouldn't move up and down very much. If they do, you're forcing the sound.
