When singing, remember that each note and vowel and consonant is separate from one another. Vowels are created from the vocal chords (hence the name). Consonants (fricatives) are always silent, they are never part of a vowel. If the breath is taken the right way, the voice has no choice but to vibrate.

Singing in the instinctive way is simply imitating a pitch, or making a superficial
sound that is just a parrot of a real sound. Real singing is creating a sound from your instrument. Sound is a vibration. Each note is a vibration created by the vocal chords. When singing, remember that each note and vowel and consonant is separate from one another. When taking a breath, think of suckling. Tongue on top of palate (which stays LOW), breath of exhaustion (not diaphragm, no nape of the neck, no lowering larynx or modifying the instrument in any way). Jaw should be free Do the little cough (before the beat, GLOTTIS) to close the chords and make them emit a real sound. While singing, it should feel like when you breathe against glass and make it fog up The muscles that make you burp are the same muscles that make you sing. You should feel the sound coming from that place. Vowels are created from the vocal chords (hence the name). Vowels have a shape. Picture the shape of vowels instead of just blurting them out. When singing a scale (or anything for that matter) remember to carry the tone. The last note should be of the same quality of the first one. One has to keep the strength until the very end (as opposed to weakening after the big attack). When practicing a song, its crucial that you SPEAK the words as if they were just a monologue to fully familiarize yourself with them and to create the dynamics of the song. Otherwise you are just singing a melody and not conveying the meaning of it. Also, this will help to make the song more interesting because it will have many more nuances. Vowels and consonants are completely separate. Consonants (fricatives) are always silent, they are never part of a vowel. There is no such thing as singing a consonant. Vibration occurs if the instrument is being used properly. There is no such thing as making your voice vibrate because that is simply an imitation of a real sound. If the breath is taken the right way, the voice has no choice but to vibrate, because its creating a sound, aka a vibration. Making voice sound beautiful is another example of imitation. Again, if the instrument is used the proper way, there is no need to embellish it and disguise it with sounds that are simply an imitation of a pitch and not your own voice. It will sound beautiful on its own. One should sing without having to modify anything (like raising your palate, lowering your larynx, expanding your diaphragm, etc). Sing as you speak: by taking the right kind of breath (that in speaking is instinctive). In order to sing properly, the vocal chords need to close. Do do this, imitate a cough and right after that, sing (not by making the sound, but by letting it go). Another way to think of this is the burp: the same muscles that make you burp make you sing.
The diaphragm method is a clenching of the muscles that produces an artificial
sound, it is an unnatural way of singing: one cant control the position of the larynx, or the diaphragm, the soft palate, etc. If the breath is the right one, all of these things will take care of themselves on their own. The voice comes from the VOICE BOX. Nowhere else. The breath must be taken from the top, not from the bottom (diaphragm). It must be free and natural. The larynx HAS to go up and down, according to the pitch one sings. Also, according to the pitch, the mouth changes shape (it opens or closes more). Do not try to control these two things by trying to keep the larynx low at all times or trying to keep the mouth in the same position in all pitches. The tongue also has an important role in singing: it shapes the vowels.
