Why not go allong to clubs or singarounds? Be very wairy of what "voice teachers" will try to impose apon you. If you are aiming at next years X Factor they may be of help but if it's "folk" material you want to perform ? Rember the three things that all good singers have in common. Tone - find out what your's is and don't try to sound like a coppy of someone else. Timeing - from Frank Sinatra to Bele Stewart, from Bob Davenport to Iris DeMent, timeing is one of the delights of a great singing style. Material - good singers and good songs go together. And as a ps. keep listening to songs and singers and let the songs find you. cheers
