Improve my singing voice

Puberty sucks.

I mean really, when I was a kid I’d sing whatever I liked whenever I liked. My voice was pitch perfect and I could rival everyone from label-signed artists to the ear-piercing screech of the girls in my class hitting the highest note they could.

Then I turned 12. My voice started to quiver, I couldn’t hold a note. It would skip whole octaves just with normal speech. They say a boy’s voice drops with a plunk, in an instant, the hell it does.

8 years on and I’m still finding my singing voice again. Lower voiced singers are helping. Sam Sparro, Amy Winehouse, Johnathan Coulton, etc. I can finally sing a whole line again, as long as it’s in my (still very limited) range. I’m a long way away from keeping up with Hayley Williams or Alicia Keys.

-sing to myself when i can
-dig up my old voice tapes and practice with them minimum 2x/week
-practice diction in the car

I’m in my high school choir, and I’m constantly learning new things about my voice. I really want to go for a Rachael Yamagata kind of style, I think it would suit me. I barely have time to practice since I live with my mom and dad and two sisters with barely any privacy, but I think practicing in the car helps. I’ll be in the choir again as soon as school is back in session (something I’m not relatively looking forward to, but hey, at least I’ll be a senior).

I’m thinking of singing in my church choir. I told my sweetie that if he joins, I’ll join.

I would really love to improve my singing voice. I used to be able to sing anything i wanted too. Whether it was soprano, alto, bass, whatever it was i could sing it, then one day i was practicing for a performance and I felt one of my vocal chords pop. It hurt really badly but i ignored it cause i had this performance the next day. So the next day i did the performance and some other really loud unexpected perfomances and lost my voice. So i started doing a self therapy, i stopped singing for two weeks, and i drank alot of hot herbal tea’s and stuff. But that didnt work, occasionally the pain will come back but my main problem is when i sing now my voice goes out where the only thing you can hear is an airy sound like aaaahhhh, it sounds like im blowing air out off my throat. It is so irritating because it just makes me wanna cry everyone used to say omg you have such a beautiful voice. Now i wont even sing a lullaby for fear of that airy sound. Then i joined the choir thinking they would be able to help me but i have another problem nobody can hear me at all. They say im singing barely above a whisper but i feel like i’m yelling at the top of my lungs still no one can hear me its very frustrating i have tried everything but i cant find anything that will work.

What a shocker it would be to my friends and myself if I were to show up to audition for the upcoming musical and were to land a role…
I want this.

I want to get the lead in my school musical next year, but I am going up against extremely talented girls for the part. I am a decent actress, yet my singing voice needs some work :/

I’ve had singing lessons before, but I definetly think my voice can be more powerful.

u don’t sing well!

plz remind me
