  1. Could You point me in the direction of where to find these staccato excercises?
  2. So I've never had any formal training, but in the last few years I've occasionally tried to get better at singing by learning tips online and doing exercises and whatnot. While I have noticed some improvements, I still don't sound that "good". Recently I think I figured out my problem. When I sing a low to high interval in a song, I often initially jump up to a slightly lower note than the target note, then quickly (less than a half a second) raise up to the correct note. I think I originally did this because jumping a large interval and landing on the correct pitch was difficult, and it made it easier to land on a note close to it, then move up the smaller interval. It's similar to "grace notes" (I think?), and I know artists sometimes do this kind of thing stylistically. But the note that I raise up from is usually not on pitch, and even though I'm only on it for a quarter of a second, it makes my singing sound sloppy and overall just not that good. Right now I'm capable of singing without doing this, but it's so hard for me to do just because it's a bad habit I've had for so long. Does anybody know of a good way to correct this habit? Also, please don't just tell me to get a vocal coach, because I'm a broke college student and I can't afford it.
