Support in your stomach - try tightening your stomach muscles up a bit when you sing. I use this technique when I'm playing tuba - helps with projection SO MUCH! The stronger your stomach muscles are, the stronger the sound.
Another exercise which helps you relax and loosen up: make a fist with each hand except for the pointer and middle fingers. Hold both hands in front of you so that the fingers are pointing toward one another around your waist line. Now, make quick circles with your hands keeping your wrists and elbows fairly as motionless as possible, starting away from you and sing while you do this. If you're doing it right, you're entire body will be shaking (voice included). You'll be so focused on the spinning of your hands, you loose track of what your voice is doing and you get a natural, uncontrolled sound (meaning you're not actively thinking about it). Just make sure you're with people you don't mind seeing this as it does look kind of silly!

Squeeze your butt cheeks together...ok I know that sounds ridiculous, but my choir teacher told me that in high school (I was in advanced choir) and I was also a soprano. It actually works, well! It will make you sing from your diaphragm.
Another thing you can do...to strengthen your voice, is go in the bathroom, and sing as loud as you can (enough so you can fill the room with sound.) Then, go to a slightly bigger room (like your bedroom or an office) sing loud enough until you can completely fill that room with sound. Keep going into bigger rooms until you can fill a large room with sound without even using a microphone. That worked for me also :)
Good luck :)

Breathing technique is very important for proper voice projection. Whereas in normal talking one uses air from the top of the lungs and the muscles from the throat, a properly projected voice uses air right from the bottom of the lungs, and the diaphragm is used to push it out.
Stance is also important, it is recommended to stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart, and your upstage foot (right foot if right handed etc.)slightly forward. This improves your balance. This also improves your breathing.

There is simply no substitute for a voice teacher. In my student days some of us thought we could learn to sing by reading books. We couldn't. Today people think they can learn to sing on the internet. You can't.

i comprehend a woman who used to attempt this one and each and each and every of the time. She concept her cat loved it even as she used the voice. The cat's eyes ought to flash and his ears ought to provide slightly twitch each and each and every time she used this voice. She concept it replaced right into a good signal, an indication that it replaced right into a particular voice, their little secret. in the destiny, the cat disappeared. the girl couldn't discover him everywhere. She searched extreme and occasional, accurate and left, east and west, in each and each and every of the cat's generic haunts. only even as she replaced into beginning to melancholy, she considered the answer -- she ought to apply the voice! starting her mouth hopefully, she suggested as out to the cat in that voice. From in the back of she heard a faint meow. It replaced into the cat. She became fortuitously to greet him, then stopped. The cat replaced into viewing her with narrowed eyes. Slowly he opened his mouth and emitted an unearthly, bloodcurdling screech -- his revenge, his personal "particular" voice for her. His warfare cry replaced into the severe element she heard because the cat pounced, and commenced to nibble at her. little with techniques from little... even as utilising the certain voice... So, no, i do not.
