people tells me I have this kind of voice, ressonating low, while talking. I think it's just by singing experience. I actually have it more that way now.

I always liked those Elvis peculiar bass notes, like in "baby I don't care, care..." "I feel so lonely, so lonely I could die", so I learned that for using them in songs. I think you can recognize that.
Try to sing that. It should work.

BTW, forget about the belly breathing... it forces everything, for singers too.

Elvis may be the most obvious example of it. If you don't like at all singing that you could try... well... Freddie Mercury or Bono sometimes did/do that... or.... well... James Hetzfield from Metallica... though it's a different kind... Thom Yorke from Radiohead... or if you don't like rock and roll at all, opera baritons are all like that.
