Well, first of all, quit singing to rock, pop, country, rap, whatever! Quit singing to it. Call up a local voice teacher and have her help you. She can let you know if you have potential, which I'm not sure that this is unfixable. Until you get an appointment, here's some other tips.
1. Sing from your diaphram. It's down low, below your stomach, you want to make you belly look big, if you have that down, you've got it. This does take LOTS of practice and even voice coaches took years to perfect this method, and are probably still working on it. But breathing from your diaphram will give you more breath to sing with.
2. Maybe you need to open your mouth a little more? If it's closed to tight, the sound won't be as clean.
3. Stand tall and keep your shoulders relaxed.
4. Try singing tongue twisters every day on a scale. Then try some simple phrases and notes.
5. Sing forward, not in the back of your throat, this is what makes singing sound really bad most of the time.
6. Try drinking plenty of water, and never milk. Milk gets stuck to your throat and clogs it and doesnt make your voice sound very good, and it takes a few hours for the milk to go away.
Hope these tips have helped. Even if you only get a couple voice lessons, it's better than nothing. I've been taking for almost two years now, and my voice is really improving. Also remember that intill your in your mid to late 20s, your voice is still growing, and singing too much will strain it, and keep it from growing to it's full potential.
