Do scales, breath properly.
Learn to breath in for up to 16 seconds, then hold for a few seconds, then release in 16 seconds. Learn to breath properly, with an open mouth, and from your diaphragm. After a long session of singing, your abdomen should feel like you've been doing ab workouts for the whole day (mine does).
Sing scales, from Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do-Ti-La-So-Fa-Mi-Re at the lowest that you can, then move up the scales. That means you start from C scale, the move up to D scale, and so on and so forth until you can't sing anymore. Also do octaves, where you go from a low "do" to a high "DO".
Vocalize, enunciate and project your voice. Don't mumble, open your mouth sooooo big like you wanna swallow the damn mic every time. Enunciate your words probably, or when you are singing multiple words in succession you will mumble and they could end up sounding very hilarious (happened to me once). Voice projection is important. You should aim to project your voice so that a room of 100 people can hear you clearly.
Memorize lyrics. Failure to do so will result in absolute scorn of your fellow musicians. This is not karaoke.
Depending on the setting and your religiousity, a church would be an excellent place to learn vocals. I learned most of my stuff in churches.
Karaoke is a great time to practise and show off your vocal range and power. My friends hate me for that. Their envy fuels my confidence and I sing louder and stronger when it comes to my favourite songs.
Have a favourite song. It should suit your emotion, vocal range and style. Sing it over and over and over again until you get it right. Build from that. Sing it with the emotion, passion and conviction.
Last but not least, get a coach. The internet can only teach you so much.
Okay thank you very much.

Well, you could quit smoking, or stop shooting up on heroine right before your performances. Also, tell the guy standing next to you to quit punching you in the stomach as you go for the High C note. You could quit gargling with razor blades, too, or stop inhaling helium.
Lol okay will keep in mind

Start singing Practice makes perfect. Try to imitate the people who sing the genre of music you wanna song also. It helped me, but I'm not professional either so....
Edit: Play rock band haha

Let's all have a moment of silence for my teammate and close friend who was recently injured at practice today.
We were doing some Oklahoma's and he traded places with me in line, went up agains some kid, and landed on the ground with his leg sticking up in an uncorrect angle. Had to call the ambulance and everything.
I didn't like this kid at first, but lately, he's been really cool and we got pretty close, and I will miss him for the rest of the season.
That sucks. And I bet it hurts.
You've left us in the dark on how the team is doing?
good day.

B-Team is like, 1-3? And A-Team is like 0-4.
Sorry to hear that, ive broken my thumb once from football but thats nothing compared to that kid. on another note...
My highschool is best in the State (Washington) for football, state champions 3 years in a row, 4 Peat coming up
Thank God he's alright. It looked so bad but he only broke three bones. Well, maybe I should take out the only, but I'm just glad he'll be okay.
Do you realize you were supposed to be there? lol
Also pics pl0x
that does suck. Broke a kid's leg once in middle school football. I hit him low from one side, while another defender hit him high from the other. Tib/fib fracture. Only time I felt bad for hitting someone...
Yeah I know it was supposed to be me lol.
No. Some kid took pictures and sent them to some people, it's DISGUSTING! Who'd do that to a teammate?!
And yeah. He got tackled and his foot got stuck on the ground and his body turned.

I'd be more interested if they had found a cure for cancer or something.
Like, c'mon, aliens are exciting and all, but what if they're real? What's going to happen? Most likely - nothing. For the past 2000+ years there hasn't be a recorded face-to-face alien encounter so I highly doubt anything would happen.
But yeah, exciting none the least.

I'm very excited about this. I just hope these claims are true. I just think its kind of a coincidence that this happened, because there were rumors that the American government will soon admit that there is alien life. But its all hear say...idk. Plus this is way more of a big deal than a lame UFO. This is science! NASA is serious about this, they've invited 5,000 scientists to examine the evidence. If this isn't a big deal to anyone then wake up. If these claims become fact, it's the biggest discovery of man-kind.

We're rather shallow and jaded in this country, augoza. Don't expect too much.
There's no aliens
Lets face it, IF there is life out there intelligent enough to to find us and make contact, then the chances are that they would be much more advanced than us and either totally ignore us or destroy us. In the style of either "Independence Day" or "Mars Attacks"???
Im hoping its more like Mars Attacks personally.......
As far as Im concerned unless they bring us some kind of strange and exotic space meat and teach how to cook it then they can **** off.

Agreed. But lets face the facts first. NASA only CLAIMS so far. And what they found was just life on a micro level so far. No intelligent life. These organism's may be the only alien life besides us. As soon as someone says "aliens" most people jump to conclusions and think guns and destruction, But it could be as innocent as plant life on another planet.

Well I personally think its silly to believe we're the only life in this whole universe. Its a strong theory. And I've heard about USA and other countries back-engineering alien craft. In my opinion, most legit UFO sightings were humans controlling the craft. Could be possible. BUT like I said people all those stories don't mean anything compared to this. No scientist has got involved with those theories. And yes I do somewhat support some theories. But this is science people. Hail science lol

+1 internets for you, good sir.
Basically for me if I want to remind myself of summer 2010 I listen to the songs that
came out back then, not just one song
what about you?
One song can easily do it for me, but like you, and a lot of people i guess, it's a collection of songs that does it best. I turned my HTC Touch on about a month ago, and it hadn't been used since 2008, so i had a good laugh when i checked the music and videos on the SD
When i'm on a listening session i'm usually in the mood for a particular genre, so i tend to keep the playlist to that for the duration. So i guess the mood comes first and then the music.
I will however reflect and dwell on the memories invoked by particular songs as they come on, and i'll either feel melancholy or jubilant accordingly! (My listening sessions are a rollercoaster ride)
(Off topic in off topic. Yes it's Offception)
"Sorry, you are limited to five thanks per day". Damnit.. Dirk, i just noticed that you have 199 thanks, and i felt like giving you the magic 200, but noooo...

Btw, why does it take a woman having her monthlies, ten minutes to make a cup of tea?
IT JUST DOES, ALRIGHT?!!
Do you think that, too?
Quite the opposite, i reckon they're still not used enough. Of course it's become easier to do online but people are still reserved and reticent to be polite to strangers. Natural reaction i guess. Perhaps the fact that people are being polite online may carry over to real life eventually?
Personally i've always found myself being awkward in real life social situations and heartfelt stuff just makes it worse. Gotta be drunk for that stuff! No such problem saying Thanks, please, sorry etc on here though.
I don't think the mods will like that. A "thank you" is a thing you'll have to deserve.
