All good ideas. Let me suggest that if you want to put emotion in your voice, you should decide what emotion it is you want in which song, then actively work to put it in.

The old acting trick is to build a "catalog" of emotions...I remember the day my dog died, I recall how my cousin looked when his sister hit him with a pie, I think of my children. Make a list of emotions, then write memories in each category. These can and should be your secret emotional "keys." Practice really thinking about them, see if you can make yourself laugh, cry, tremble. Then think about these when you sing. The more you think about these, and the less you think about the notes, the more you will sound like you are "letting go."

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
