How can I become a better singer....
Sing what's comfortable. Don't try to emulate any particular singer. The biggest mistake people make is to hear a certain artist and think, "I want to sing just like her!" Your voice may not be made for that. Get to where you're comfortable with how YOUR own unique voice sounds.
Lots of people say, drink water, get rest, don't smoke - these are all good suggestions. They're suggestions, however, that not everyone follows. I sing, for instance, but I also smoke. So I make my voice work with that. I've got a very strong mid-to-low range voice for a woman. While quitting smoking is a goal I have for myself, to a small degree, it contributes to how I sound. Then again, it also has an effect on how much lung capacity I have.
Breathing is a big part of singing. You MUST breathe - to work, to play, to sing, to LIVE. Not many people get back to that huge basic when they try to do anything. Strong breathing will carry with it a strong voice, so do some breathing exercises when you warm your voice up. Take in a long, deep breath, and then let it out in short bursts until it completely runs out. Such as:
Inhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale. Ex! Ex! Ex! Ex! Ex! Ex! Hale. (Just as a percussive example).
Learn where your range lies. Have a good idea of how comfortably you can sing using your "chest voice" (diaphragm) and when you have to switch to your "head voice" (mask).
Best thing to do - practise! I haven't sung in a professional/academic setting for YEARS, but my voice is still top notch. And I don't sing arias or practise scales every day - I listen to the radio, or play my mp3's, and sing along. I hum or sing to myself while I work. I test my ability to harmonize by picking a song with no harmony part and building one around it (if possible). That keeps my ear sharp.
Mostly, I just hear songs I like, throw my head back and sing. Music should be fun, both listening to it and making it. To put effort and passion into it is admirable, but never let it become too much of a task or job. Music is art, and should be something you love.

How to Write a Vocal Melody for Music
You've played around with your guitar or piano for long enough. It's time to take that tune you've created to the next level by writing a vocal melody for the song. It may seem like a daunting task, especially if you've never written lyrics before, but if you approach it like a professional would, you may wind up with a melody that listeners can't get out their heads.
Instructions
1
Make a recording of the chords you've worked out. Play it back and fool around on your instrument until find a possible melody line.
2
Think about what inspires you, and play around with that theme for your vocal melody, using everyday language for the listener.
3
Pay attention to songs by different artists that you admire, and take note of the format of the lyrics. Does the artist choose to rhyme the end of each line, or do the ending words bear little similarity to the other lines?
4
Be careful when choosing to rhyme your song. Make sure that the rhyme makes sense, and doesn't sound like you're trying to fit a rhyming word with a crowbar.
5
Take the song in whatever way it unfolds. Sometimes a vocal melody may come to you first, while the next time you may find a chord progression that's new and different.
6
Study music theory to grasp an understanding of the possibilities when writing music. Most songs feature several standard features, including times when the chords are what the listener expects, as well as chords that leave the listener wanting a resolution, such as 7th chords.
7
Pick out notes that are from the chord for your vocal melody most of the time, but throw in a few surprises to keep it interesting for the listener. Varying the rhythms can bring a new twist to the song.
