Step 1: Breathe the correct way.

When you breathe in,your stomach should expand.
When you breathe out, it should go back.
Make sure that there is no movement in your chest.
Breathing from your chest is shallow and unsupported, whereas breathing from your diaphragm allows your to use your 'Powerhouse' (the muscles in your stomach) to support the notes you are singing and keep you in tune. -
Step 2: Keep your soft palate high and your tongue forward.
Run your tongue across the roof of your mouth.
The hard part is called your hard palate and the fleshy bit behind it is called your soft palate.You need to create space at the back of you mouth in order for a richer tone to be produced.

That feeling of space is your soft palate being raised.
You should have the feeling every time you sing.
This keeps it off your throat, which can create long term damage.
Your the tip of your tongue should be in constant contact with the back of your teeth, as this focuses the sound forward and creates a clearer tone. , Scales, as boring as they are, are is the best way of getting a clearer, brighter tone.
Try singing on the syllable 'te' to start, as the 'e' vowel is the easiest sing. -
