yes, i have heard of these things. but i always believed that you need to get a vocal tutor, who can judge your singing capabilities and then compose a sort of plan that you can follow, to get voice depth and stuff. and wouldn't it be dangerous to experiment with your voice? i say, get a professional to help.

Thanks for your response, Khushi309. Well, I'm not very fond of vocal tutors in my place. I could say, that my first music teacher would get a heart attack, were she to know that I can actually sing :D Of course, experimenting with one's voice could be dangerous if one don't know the limits :) Have a nice day myLotting! ;)

The biggest improvement to your voice would come from learning how to breath. You must breath from your diaphragm (or stomach). Take a big breath and only exhale a little at a time as you sing. A music teacher I once had told me I should aspire to sing without blowing out a candle flame that I was holding in front of my mouth. He said that controlling my breathing was the most important lesson to learn to be a great singer. As you practice, this will become second nature and you will find that your voice will project better. Don't try to force your voice into a range that does not feel natural. Not everyone can be a high soprano or a low bass.

I am in my school's choir (as i mentioned in the other question) and my choir director tells us to open our mouths. A lot of people feel like their mouth is open, which includes me, when it really isn't. Also she tells us to keep the vowels "tall" which means not to be nasally and to prevent that she tells us again.. to open our mouths more and let the sound flow out. Also she tells us to use our diaphragms (i think i butchered that word xD) and not to just project our voice from our throats. Something I do a lot and am trying to work on is not being to brassy when I sing in my higher range but still in full voice.

I heard that breath control is the best way and also breathing from your diaphragm or using your whole rib cage. What I learned was that you have to breath deeply and not just from your throat. You also have to open your mouth just as if you are going to yawn and take enough breath so that you can sing a phrase. If you do that, you will not go flat or sharp. Usually the best is to get a voice teacher, but I heard that Singing Success and Singorama that you can find on the internet are good. However they do recommend after using them to get a voice teacher - but if you cannot find one, if you know someone who also took singing lessons, a music teacher, or someone who plays an instrument for a singer, that they will help you.
