What about singing and playing guitar at the same time? I need MAJOR help on that, I can...sorta "sing" alright when im not playing guitar, but when I do play I sound like im talking...loudly, And also when I di put some feel into my singing I mess up on the guitar and vice versa.

just practice and don't act like a lead guitar player, start with the basics.

yeah I know that now lol, I didnt go to sleep for 8 fucking hours trying to get "I just dont know what to do with myself" by the white stripes. I got it halfway.

try something slow and uncomplicated like Knockin on heavens door, then when ya get good at that move up a level.  Practise makes perfect

worst thing u can do is try singing along to a good vocalist like freddy! lol

just practise gradually, and ignore the part bout developing vibrato, that will come too. and corn? if u wanted to clear ur voice of plegm and stuff, gargle salt water - tho salt isnt neccessary if ur voice is already quite clear.

the best way is to get singin lessons, or at least by a book or listen to some Mark Baxter mp3 things. hes a vocal coach - worked with steven tyler, thats all u need to know.

Try to find your own range and voice. Don't try to sing like another artist. Everyone has their own sound, find it work on it and give it all you have. Remember often your sound is in the pit of your stomach, not your nose and throat. Peace, T.
