How can I sing better?

Question:

How can I sing better?

Oh snap! I was just asked to be the lead singer of a band but I dont have any prior experience of singing. What are some tips to help me build my voice and overcome stage fright?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You need to find a voice teacher, but one that specializes in the style of music your band will be singing/performing. Even if your teacher begins training you classically (which is actually a good idea, so you have a foundation of good vocal habits to build off of), you want someone who can then transition into the more rock/country/r+b/whatever style you're going for.

Post that you're looking for a voice teacher of ______ style on your city's craigslist.org page and see what results you get.
