When you are singing, it is more important that other people hear you; not yourself. So when you are practicing and performing, it is important to make sure that you use your diaphragm and focus. If you don't know what a diaphragm is or how to use it, it is a muscle near your abs. Tighten your stomach and feel around your bellybutton. That muscle is your diaphragm! To use it, keep your stomach tight and sing. The sound goes farther and is a lot clearer this way. But using your diaphragm is not everything that you need to do. You also need to focus. Your mind is a powerful tool, so you need to use it. One way that you can focus is to imagine the sound is coming from your forehead. Picture it right between your eyes and while you sing, try not to let the sound leave that imaginary place that you have put it in. Another thing that you can do is look at a spot on the wall and pretend like you are trying to sing to that spot; like you don't want the sound to go anywhere else. Then pretend like there is a thin stick laying horizontally right in front of you. when you sing, act like you want to keep the sound right above the stick, and never below it. If you keep these things in mind, your voice will be loud and clear!
