Habit #1
Not practicing regularly
One of the most important things you can do to become a better singer is practice, yet so many singers neglect this crucial step.

Habit #2
Not Recording yourself
Not recording yourself:
Another habit that is holding you back from becoming a better singer is not recording yourself. It's important to hear yourself sing so that you can identify areas that need improvement, and I know it can be really hard to listen back to yourself, but you have to learn to love your voice and what better way then to listen to it, also If you're not recording yourself, how will you know what needs to be worked on? Make a point to record yourself at least once a week and listen back with an open mind.
I always have every student I work with record their lesson with me so they can listen back throughout the week for a reminder on what to work on, to monitor their progress and also so they can get used to listening to their own voice.
FEEDBACK
Habit # 3 Not seeking Feedback on your singing
Not seeking feedback: The final habit that is keeping you from becoming a better singer is not seeking feedback. It can be difficult to hear constructive criticism, but it's essential if you want to improve. Find a trusted singing teacher or coach who can give you honest feedback and help you make the necessary changes to improve your singing.
If you're guilty of any of these habits, it's time to break them and start seeing results! Habits are hard to break, but if you're committed to becoming a better singer, it's worth it. Make a plan to correct these habits and start seeing the progress you've been wanting.

The Human Voice
The human voice
The human voice is one of the most flexible and smallest instruments in the world.
In the human body, structure determines function. That is the shape and form of a structure determine the manner in which the structure will operate. Thus it is important to understand the anatomy of a structure to understand how it works.

The larynx has several important functions. Primarily, it is a respiratory organ controlling the flow of air into and out of the lower respiratory tract. The larynx protects the lower airway from access by anything but air and also has a role in deglutition. The role of the larynx is the primary sound generator.
Unlike songbirds, humans do not possess an organ such as a syrinx, and it is the lack of this special organ that makes technical training in singing a necessity.
The cartilages of the larynx
The arytenoid's find their points of attachment to the cartilages. Since they are located within the interior of the larynx, they are therefore intrinsic. The cricothyroid are attached the outer surface of the thyroid cartilage and they are therefore extrinsic. The intrinsic muscles of the larynx are associated with the respiration; the extrinsic muscles are connected, both neurologically and muscularly, to the process of swallowing. In phonation the two systems must reverse their natural roles and function in a coordinate relationship.
The human vocal mechanism freely functions when there is a great foundation of vocal technique.
Good singing starts from the way in which the instrument is positioned. Whether the singer is tall or short, thin or thick, male or female, structural alignment must pertain. The external frame function of the musculature of head and neck, the position of the rib cage, the relationship of the muscles of the torso to the rib cage and the sternum, and the balance of body dynamic muscle equilibrium are some principles that pertain for all singers.
Similar to the trumpet, which needs the buzzing lips to serve as the oscillator for sound production, the human voice has vocal folds to serve this function.
The larynx, which is commonly, called the voice box, houses the vocal folds and is the primary organ involved in the voice production. It is encased by the ‘Adams apple’ (also called the thyroid cartilage) and sits above the trachea (the windpipe) and in front of the oesophagus in the neck.
