What can I do to improve the clarity of my singing voice?
I am playing school’s talent show in April. I’ll playing Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen while singing the lyrics, as the melody isn’t incorporated in the main piano riff.
When I sing the song on my piano, my voice sounds thin and foggy. I know this isn’t going to sound like a professional recording, but still it seems like there is something missing. Is there any way to clear out my vocal cords? (for lack of a better phrase)
As someone who sings, myself, i know what you mean. My voice gets like that a lot, too, when i forget to do warm-ups. Warm-ups always help, because they prepare your voice, so to speak, for when you do the actualy singing. Also, don’t try to hit notes too high or too low for your range. Your voice will crack, and that definitely won’t sound professional. The thing is, like me as well (again), you’re going to be in the talent show. And that’s great! Being on stage performing is the best feeling ever. But you’re not going to sound professional. It’s just a fact. Like most schools, you’re probably going to have some crappy microphone that’s too loud or something. (Haha) Also, before i sing, i drink a bit of water. Just to clear my throat. Advice time(oh no!): Don’t try to sing softly, like in a whisper, when you practice. It hurts your vocal chords, and you will need to do more to make your voice clear and strong. Sorry if i’m not much help. 
No matter what you decide to do to help, give it your all! That’s what makes you shine.
