I'm torn on the voice lessons thing. I think you can wind up sounding over-......over-.....
I dunno. Over-good, I guess.
That's fine if you want to make a living singing classical, in a chorus, showtunes, etc., but I think it tends to fail in a more informal rock setting.
As a reasonably good singer myself, I'd suggest two things:
1) PRACTICE. Especially try singing along to your favorite songs. Find the harmony part (start with songs that have someone singing harmony already and sing along). Singing harmony is harder than singing lead, and it will make you focus on the notes.
2) Try sticking a finger in your ear while you sing (no, not on stage - while you practice). It's a little distorting, but it helps you hear what pitch you are actually producing.
