Remember to think about *why* you are doing this, and make it a service to G-d, and your congregation, not just something to sing.
Practice. Chant to your cat, your plants, your friends. Don't worry about taking G-d's name in vain - practicing, learning, is one of the quite acceptable reasons for using Those Names outside of prayer.
Think about the people whose davening you've admired - what did they have in common?
If there are tapes or audio files you can listen to, that might help, or harm, depending on how the style matches your own.
Too bad I can't drive down to join your congregation...
