Can someone please advise as to the most proper use of the sustain and damping pedals for playing chords with voice ?
Thanks so much!

Depress them with your feet.
Sorry. It's late, I just wanted to joke a while.

What do you mean by 'chords with voice'? Also, since the sustain pedal is the damper pedal, do you mean the same pedal, or am I too tired to get it?

I'm playing chords and singing at the same time. Right hand the chords and left the primary bass note, with one finger, for that particular chord. I have 3 pedals, one of which 'sustains' the sounds and the other 'dampens' or makes the sounds less bright and quiter.

That's not called a demper pedal, though. The dampers are the felts which stop a string from sounding when you release the key; the damper pedal keeps them sustaining by holding the dampers up.
Depending on what kind of piano you have, you may have an 'una corda' pedal which shifts the action so that only one key instead of all three is struck. This is standard on grands, but never use it just to make the music softer
