"Awesome! Going on 15 years for me, man time flies! As for singing tips, I've developed my singing voice just through listening to and practicing a wide range of music. I found myself singing anything from Broadway musicals to African call and responses to everyday rock whether I had it on while cleaning the house or during a long drive. The large variation in music allows me to pick and choose what I enjoyed doing among the techniques each of the different styles bring to the table (different inflections, notes held in different areas, etc), and start to develop my own singing style myself :) once you feel you've got this down (it takes a while to do!), then it's just a matter of singing along with any music, while utilizing your newly developed techniques. The fact that you play guitar makes this step easy (but requires you to get used to playing guitar and singing first - strumming patterns become difficult to master while doing this, so stick to a simple strumming pattern at first), because you have the ability to take a piece of music and make it whatever you want (for example, playing a reggae style of Drops of Jupiter, allowing you to get a different sound and use different techniques than you normally would while singing that song). Hope this helps! :)" - 8 months ago
