Holding back in a nightmare.

af_thefragile

Hey,
Not really to go too literally with the title. I don't exactly know whats the problem with my speech. All i know is its not clear and many people ask me to repeat words for them to understand. I guess its like sometimes mumbled and i can't pronounce some words properly. Even something like "the". Guess the problem is with my "th", "mur", "r", "do", "to" etc. It sorta gets annoying sometimes when i've gotta repeat a word about 5times before they get it...

Anyway, I'm not too bad though. I'm still pretty clear and it doesn't hold me back at all in my everyday life.
But here's the problem. I'm a singer and it effects my singing confidence. Really bad... Diction is my main problem while singing and its the only thing that keeps holding me back from being a good singer. And i hate that fact. Its the lack of clarity of my vocals that taints my singing and i really wanna be able to solve this.

As you see, the demands for clarity are much higher when you're singing. Although my speech problem doesn't hinder me at all in my daily life, its a huge obstacle and nightmare in my singing.
So anyone got any help to put me out of this misery??
