How can I improve my singing?

(VIDEO OF ME SINGING) How can I improve?

• I'm not a singer, I've only started trying to sing in the last couple weeks. I just want to know how to harness my voice and improve so I can sing in front of people without being embarassed. I've also realized that I love singing. :) Anyways, here's a video of me singing The Sprout & The Bean by Joanna Newsom. I stopped trying near the end ;p and you can tell I can't hit high notes at all, haha. Here's me singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83H80twPOjc I am the higher voice singing. Thank you!! :)

• Answer:

  Um. Ok as a fellow higher voice singer. I can tell you from the more choral side of view. No offence but your voice sounds a little airy, this can be improved by trying out something stomach/diaphragm muscle training, basically just strengthen the muscles so that you can sing the higher notes and also have more air. When you breathe in, try to breathe in at not so obvious parts whereby it sounds more "natural" I think that you have the potential but maybe you should try a choir to strengthen the basics before moving on to pop or ballad? Yea. if you have anymore problems feel free to email me.
