Joe,

I often tend to simplify things as many times the answer is indeed a simple one. I think this is another case of what Kajun Joe said above, i.e. finding your voice and simply practicing.

And when I say practicing I mean doing full songs, not just voice exercises, and then keeping doing them over and over. I would also suggest you keep recording your attempts and play them back this way you can track your progress.

Vince Gill who I think we will agree is a pretty good singer, once told me that anyone can sing, it just takes finding their key and range, then sing until you develop a style that fits both. But the key is to keep singing. It will not come overnight but you will notice improvements in a direct relationship to the time you put in.
