Hello! =)
My name is Sophie and I'm 14. I like answering questions about most things, but I'm pretty good at answering questions about teenage life.

Here's the deal: I love singing. I've been singing since 4th grade and I've been in choirs since 5th. I haven't taken voice lessons.
Now, I want to sing a song for a talent show, but my only problem is... MY VOICE IS HORRIBLE. I have experience, but it's just the way it SOUNDS, do you know what I mean?
I recorded my voice on my cell phone, and I got so depressed at the way it sounds.
What can I do? Will singing lessons help at all? Thanks! (link)

Hello!
First thing, NEVER record your voice on an amateur tape recorder, a mobile/cell phone, or anything else which isn't professional music equipment if you're going to take it as your actual voice. They are very misleading and made me think that I had a bad voice a few years ago when I actually have a good voice. Those recorders are good for a laugh or just for fun, but shouldn't be depended on.
Maybe you should ask a close family member or friend about opinions about your voice. Ask for honest opinions and be sure to accept criticism. Everything gets better with practice. Don't get depressed with negative responses, even the best singers have bad days and maybe what they tell you will be useful for improving.
I can tell that you really love singing. =) As I haven't taken singing lessons I don't want to judge them, but I think that a lot of it is around opera. Depending on what you like singing, this might be good or bad for you.
I'm not sure if singing lessons will improve your voice because I have no experience with them, but some other Advicenators have posted about lessons. Maybe you should read their opinions about them. =)
Lastly, don't judge yourselves on other singers. Just because you don't sing like most popular singers doesn't make you bad. Maybe you're confused.
Enjoy singing!
