I could only do it at a very low volume
singing softly is harder than singing loudly - anyone can scream

I have a "distinct" voice,
this is also a plus - there are far too many parrots out there.

confidence is a big part of it,
it has more to do with confidence in _what_ you sing rather that a confidence in yourself as a person

ex - i like to do scales ...
i actually like it - call me weird - but i enjoy them.

sometimes instead of do ray me fa sol fa me ray do
i will belt
"shut your stupid hole you fuchen *****"

it makes a huge difference - because i can feel the energy of the lyrics
( it just gets worse and worse from there .... )

you can do the cd thing - but i have been assured my a vocal coach that you actually need someone - a real person standing right there ( usually with a whip of some kind ) to correct your mistakes - and... compensations.

doing a search for the disk now - i think i deleted it
might be thins one here
Home | Vocal Coach

it goes on and on about the mechanics of singing and proper form
... forget about actually sounding good - it has noting to do with that
it is about proper technique - and consistency - the good sound takes ..
2 -3 years to develop for a normal hard working person.

and yes - i said 2 -3 years - forget about doing anything before that
( i. e. sounding good - it is not about sounding good )
