Find your vocal range. Using a piano, females start at middle G and see if you can match it. For males, start 1 octave lower than middle G. Go down until you hit your lowest note. Then go up until you hit your highest. When you find your range, you can start to improve it by training your voice to go higher and/or lower.
Now that you know your voice range, go through every note and try to match it with a long, even tone. Make sure though, when holding out a note to not damage your vocal cords. Be sure to have some sort of liquid with you.
Find a song in your range. Study it for about 10 minutes, then sing to it. You do not have to know the words. Just sing "Do, do, do", or "La, la, la". A good one to start with is "Chopsticks", the traditional piano song. If you don't know how to play it, sing along to an online video. When singing a long with the song, it is better to go with a recording than playing it yourself so you can hear how the other person is singing the song.
Now, once you have mastered your song, add any kind of melody to your voice. Make it unique! Before adding melody DO NOT teach yourself how to sing with vibrato, if you teach yourself wrong it will be hard to revert back.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for whatever song you like in your range. Find the lyrics or make up your own song.
