Singing Techniques

Yes get a book called the singer and the actor by Gillyanne Keynes (think thats her name) This book is based upon the Estill Method by Jo Estill. There is a group called EVTS if you search for them you will find that they run courses in Australia. I have found this method really helpful as you can apply it to different styles of singing. As for going to singing lessons I believe that if you can pluck up the courage to go I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think. Everyone gets nervous singing in front of people I've been studying for 3 years and I still get nervous. The book teaches you how to deal with nerves. And if you have a voice then other people should hear it because it's a gift and you knever know where it could lead you to. For singing any song the main area is breath support and telling the story (getting the emotions across).

Hope that helped

Thanks for you input and I hope you can move forward to becoming a confident performer.
