I am a 16 year old girl, who loves to act and I love to preform in shows. I have done many shows but my problem is I am not a singer. To be honest, my voice is pretty awful, so I can only really get parts in non-musicals or just be in the chorus for musicals. This is fine with me, but I love singing so much I just wish to improve my voice a little. Now I am not asking for a transformation that will suddedenly land me the lead in a musical...I know that isn't realistic, but I would like to improve my voice. I do NOT want to have a voice teacher...I don't think my parents would spend money on that nor do I want to be that serious. Are there any other ways of improving my voice? Any tricks anyone knows? Also are there any websites that can help you for FREE? Also what would be a good broadway song to sing at an audition?...my voice is on the lower side (I cannot hit high notes). Thanks You! (link)
My aunts a singer and she says the first step is to learn how to control your voice. To do this, she suggest turning the volume way up in your car and singing along really really loud. When you learn how to project your voice while still controling the pitch, you get better a lot quicker. The biggest part about singing is pitch, i suppose, but if you're usally singing quiet getting louder will make your voice crack. If you have a lower voice, singing louder is actually easier. A good audition peice? hmm... i really don't know many broadway peices. But New York, New York would apear to have some good low-pitch lyrics if sung in the right key. Really, you just need to sing all the time. In the car will probably help.

Good luck! i hope you persue your dreams =)
