Singing tips

My highschool is putting on a spring production of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and im a huge fan and absolutely want to be a part of it, but i really cant sing all that well, I dont think im horrible, but im certainly no talented star. So I'm looking for tips and advice on siging.

hardto do this on the net but

-beathe in to your stomach area (diaphragm) and sing using it
- open your mouth to compensate for higher notes, don't open and close your mouth rapidly if the song does one of those things like "yeah-i-yeah" as it get's lower, just keep it open for the highest note otherwise you block your sound.
-don't lean back wards to do notes, your body may feel the need to do this, but you're actually hindering your natural ability.
-don't sing nasaly...treat it as if you're yawning almost

on top of that, you either have it in you to sing, or you don't

Aside from the advise you've already received, one of the best things you can do is get a REALLY REALLY good friend to listen to you sing and give you advice. I'm talking about the kind of friend who will gladly tell you if you suck and that should never attempt singing again. Make it clear that you DO NOT want your feelings spared. After all, the only thing worse than a friend telling you that (despite what you might think) you really suck at singing, is making an ass of yourself in front of the entire school.
