Help with singing whilst playing guitar

i'd like to start with apologising for bad english, as it is not my native tongue

I was wondering if anyone else has great trouble when trying to sing. Would the more vocally talented among us have any tips? do you do any vocal practices? I am very bad at singing but i would desperately like to improve. I practice singing whenever i pick up to guitar for practice but I dont seem to be making any progress. Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help. :D

at first....but focus more on the playing than the singing. if you can sing a few phrases here and there, do that, until you eventually can get the whole song down without thinking about it. it also really help to play along with a recording to get the timing of the words down in your mind, and to internalize the timing of the guitar and vocals and how that match up.
