I know to raise my soft palate, to how good posture and to open my mouth, but it still doesn't sound good. I do lip trills and it makes it better, but still not good. Also, I have ...show more

Answer:
I don't know where you got so much misinformation but you are on the right track for nodules and/or polyps. You should not be trying to raise the soft palate [velum] during normal range singing. It's called velar port and only used for high note where clarity and projection is essential. Plus we have no idea of your gender or age and therefore we do not know the maturity of your larynx or torso muscles or lungs. No one should be giving you tips when they have no idea of your muscular capabilities. If you say you have falsetto then it means you are about 28 years of age and are male but I just bet that you are not even close to that age. Falsetto means false voice and is only applied to an adult male whose larynx has mutated and therefore finished puberty. Until that time, males who sing in high voices are singing as a Boy Soprano. if you are female then it is Soprano. Lip trills can do nothing to make the voice or tonal quality better it is biologically impossible. Head voice and chest voice are very very old fashioned terms for Bone conducted sound through cranial resonance and or bone and AIR conducted sound through palatal choice. Please do not believe or heed tips from people who have no qualifications in Laryngeal Biomechanics and The Physics of human sound, you need a coach for that. As any University student will tell you, do not believe everything you read or on line or on video, it is one person's opinion and they may lack qualifications and are just passing on misinformation.

It requires the ability to carry a tune AND SEVERAL YEARS of OFFLINE lessons with a GOOD teacher. In fact, it takes obviously some talent, some luck, LOTS of patience, diligence, courage, hard work, dedication and LOTS of lessons with a GOOD vocal teacher. Besides, your voice will keep maturing until you are in your mid-30s so you need a lot of TIME as well. Therefore: THE ONLY SAFE way to learn the correct singing techniques & to improve properly IS to take OFFLINE face-to-face singing lessons with a fully trained vocal teacher! The teacher HAS TO BE in the same room with you, so that he/she can give you proper feedback. However, even the best teachers in the world cannot make wonders, so please be realistic with this. Singing lessons are NOT going to help if one is tone-deaf! Please do NOT rely on any dodgy web tutorials because that way you can misunderstand things VERY EASILY and develop bad habits, hoarseness, vocal nodules and other nasties IN NO TIME, and even though you would sound good! It is always much wiser to invest a little bit of your money/time to face-to-face lessons rather than wasting the same amount of money (or even more!) to frequent ear-nose-throat specialist visits due to aforementioned problems, so please reconsider this. If you can't afford vocal lessons, then joining a choir is the only SAFE alternative option. And believe me, but even MANY of those who have music as their hobby DO take lessons as well! Always remember to warm up your voice properly, but please know your limits and don't overdo your voice! Remember the diaphragmatic support, do not strain your throat too much! Also, remember good body posture! Avoid fizzy drinks (burp danger), dairy products (mucus risk), caffeinated products (coffee & tea included, they dry up your throat) and spicy food (irritation risk)! You can consume these things, but NEVER before singing! Do NOT shout, yell, scream nor otherwise abuse your voice AT ANY TIME! Also, please respect your vocal range; if your teacher says you are, say, more of an alto (baritone if you are male), then you ARE more of an alto (baritone). DO NOT try to imitate anyone famous, that will usually give you just bad habits and even damage your throat. You are YOU and your voice is unique, so please learn to cherish that. The world does NOT need copycats. Do NOT sing, whisper, shout, yell nor scream if having a sore throat/cold/flu, Also, do speak as little as you can if you have flu/cold/sore throat! Remember to drink at least 2 litres of room-temperature still water every day, not just during singing days! Smoking is a big no-no, as is inhaling secondhand smoke. Also, avoid staying in dusty and/or moldy environment.
