Are you satisfied with your own voice? How can you improve it?

This question came to me long ago. I often admire those who sing beautifully but my voice sounds dull. I used to get up early in the morning and shouted as loud as I could to practise singing and tried to improve my voice but it helps very little. And people think I'm mad.Do you have the similar experience? Do you think voice can be improved?

I don't think shouting out loud early in the morning helps if you really want to improve your voice. This will just make your vocal cords stretch and get irritated. Your voice can be imporoved if you are determined to do it. Some well known artists were not really good singers from the start. They just studied voice lessons but there are other ways to improve your voice without spending a dime. According to what I have read and heard you can practice inhaling and exhaling to be able to reach the pitch you want with your voice. You can also go to the water up to your neck like in a beach or a pool and that is where you can practice singing. I think you do this to be able to practice more on the breathing exercise. Listening to music and singing along with it can enhance your voice. Do not drink cold water instead make it a habit to drink luke warm water to preserve your voice. Hope it helps. Happy New Year!

I like singing.. it is a great stress reliever for me (I goof off mostly).. as far as sounding good.. I don't think I'm that great.. I really don't like my voice because I sound like a kid, though I'm not. I have been trying to lower my voice for a while, it's not working.. I have a sample of my voice on my profile if you want to listen.. see what I mean. Happy New Year! :)

I am not satisfied with my voice as I think it's not attractive. I admire that some people really have charming voices. I think I am unable to change it as this is from my nature. I love China

Now I think we can improve a little though we can not change the voice. Thank you and forgive my late response.

I am very much satisfied with my voice and at the same time i am not a good siner ,There can be two classifications in voice , the first one is a good voice to hear and the good voice to listen , some voices will be good to listen but not while singing and the same way other
