Das ist schwer zu erklären, aber ich sage: ich wäre gerne eine sängerin. Aber: ich würde gerne eine sängerin sein. "Ich wäre gerne...." ist Konjuktiv 2, also die Möglichkeitsform. "ich würde gerne..." ist eine schlampige Form des Konjuktiv 1, mit dem man auch sagt was möglich sein könnte (oder auch Wünsche, Bitten...) Ich hoffe, mein Deutsch ist einfach genug, das du es verstehst.

Wäre is from the verb 'sein' -> ich bin, ich wäre.
Würde is a word you're using for the same effect but don't have a specific meaning without a second verb.
'ich wäre' is the same with 'ich würde sein'. Last option is almost always right (by speaking, I'm not sure about the official grammar rules) but for some verbs the first doesn't work, like 'machen' there doesn't exists 'ich machte', you have to say 'ich würde machen' because otherwise it would sou'd like the past form
Examples vor verb you can use both :
Kommen. Ich käme, ich würde kommen
Sehen. Ich sähe, ich würde sehen
But we almost never use this form anymore...
Examples where you can't use it, for example because of its past form :
Gehen. Ich würde gehen
Machen. Ich würde machen
