A big part of singing is the warm-ups that you do beforehand. You can still sing OK without them, but you will sing so much better with them! The first ones that you do are the relaxation ones. Take a deep breath through your nose, then exhale strong (using your diaphragm!) out of your mouth. Do this about three times. Then take another deep breath through your nose. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Try to go longer each day, but don't go too long! Breathing is more important than holding your breath! Repeat this exercise about two times. Then slowly rotate your head. Roll your neck all around slowly, and breathe slowly, through your nose.
When you are finished with the relaxing exercises, go on to the scales. Sing scales going both up and down to the very limits of your range, but don't strain your voice. Try not only singing "aaah" or "oooh" but also try things like "ti te ta" or even vibrating you lips by blowing air out through them. The "ti te ta" exercise helps your pronunciation of vowels, and the vibrating lips exercise loosens your lips and makes it easier for you to shape the letters.
Remember to warm up before you sing!
