AFA singing goes. I would actually recommend doing over reading. Get a singing teacher, find one who does Jazz/Blues/Folk style singing rather than classical. Find some people to sing with - joining a local singing group or choir if one exists is by far the fastest way to gain confidence. Learning some basic breathing exercises can be useful, by all means play with solfege, why not? Relax everything, the only effort you put in should be from the diaphragm. Find out your range - are you a bass, tenor or somewhere in between? Sing stuff that is actually in your range, this is important. Sing at every available opportunity and you will be a singer. Who told you you couldn't sing anyway? -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim We are the people We've been waiting for.
