Singing Better
Alright, I am not a good singer, but I do believe it can be built up over time and practice, but I don't understand certain things. One being breathing techniques. I've heard that we don't breathe properly (Which makes no sense) All this stuff about diaphragm, stomach, chest, and throat. But the thing is, I cannot tell if I'm doing it properly or how to breath the way they tell me to. It's like I'm missing an upper body monitor/sensor system and manual book that other people apparently have. They tell me not to sing with my throat and all this other stuff. I breathe how I normally breathe, so when they tell me to breathe a certain way, I have no idea how to. Any advice? And when I do try to sing, it's like I'm either shouting it or talking it.

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I am NOT a good singer either so I can relate! The most important question here is ,do you LOVE to sing? If you really do then get your music teacher to show you some good techniques. The most important thing is to put your heart into it. There are many examples of famous musical artists who are not GREAT singers! Bob Dylan comes to mind immediately! If you watched Fergie's superbowl performance,need I say more! The studio can work miracles with mediocrity!Don't stop singing if you love it!You will find your own style in time if you just keep practicing.

Well, breathing can happen in different ways, e.g. from your stomach, your chest, your back.
But no one can really see what you are doing wrong just by writing. Your best best is to take lessons. Singing lessons allow a trained professional to see what you are doing wrong, and tell you how to improve. You can also directly ask questions. If you want, you can just take a single lesson and ask all the questions you want.
Try googling for local schools/teachers or checking in a phone book, or by asking friends/family for recommendations.
Good luck!
