Three things you need, really; practice, lessons, and confidence (in no particular order).

I am doing them, and have been for almost two months now, as I told you a few weeks back. I just had my fifth and have my sixth booked for tomorrow. I am still shit, but it's pretty stark how much more confidence I have now to just sit in my little room and practice by myself.
The main thing to focus on is bridging your registers. I find it difficult, and I find the notes I want to hit are often right on the cusp of a register bridge, which is tricky to navigate. But I'm learning... slowly.
And I find it fun as well. It's kinda fun being utterly shit at something and have to learn things that I had no idea about!
Using the diaphragm is a bit of a misnomer. You want to focus on resonance; chest resonance, through to mixed voice, through to head resonance. This guys videos are really useful too...
Plus he looks like DiCaprio, which is pretty sweet.
Warm up exercises are not that useful, because your voice changes from day to day, even hour to hour. Focus on breathing and bridge techniques first, keep your throat open (I know you can do that one Sheldon!!) and work on your front vowel sounds.
We've gone through two singers in our band. One of them completely destroyed his voice. The other wasn't cutting it.
You do need lessons imho. It's nothing like teaching yourself guitar (of which I am no slouch) or drums (little bit of a slouch!) ... you can damage your vocal chords with the wrong technique. It's not worth doing the man thing on this!!
Need to go now. Have a gig in Colchester. Will engage upon this topic more when I am back.
