renee,
the quickest way i can think of for you to learn one way of singing jazz
is to play with yawning and sighing. a lot of jazz singers, mel torme, harry
connick jr., chet baker, dianna krall all sound like they are singing a sigh.
where you will need the yawn, is in your break area (if you have one). there
is a singer from south america who has a cd you may want to get, her name is
gabriela anders. she would be a good example of the things i'm talking about
and, as she is young, she may be someone to mimic as a head start. i'm sure
tower records in boston would have her cd if you can't get it in nh.

best of luck,
mike o'brien
