learning to sing better
As a bass, tenor, soprano or alto you'll be working on your range, training your vibrato, perfecting your pitch accuracy, improving your diction, discovering and learning to work with your vocal tone and qualities, and rehearsing your delivery. This is a lot of work, and you should expect yourself to take several years to reach a point when you considered yourself 'trained' vocally. You will also find, if you pursue a career using your voice, that you'll continue to fall back on some of these basic lessons and ideas throughout your life.
So keep singing and practising! Get your voice out of the shower and in front of other people. Join a community or scholastic choir, take vocal lessons with a competent instructor, or form a band or singing group with some friends. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way to do a bit of performing. With hard work and dedication you will achieve your goal of becoming a better singer!
