I know that to be a great singer you need a voice coach, but about how much can you do without a voice coach. I'm in an Advanced Choir, and I learn a lot there, but I can't afford more than that?

So many people succeed without ever having a voice lesson. You already get voice lessons in choir. Do you guys ever warm up (like singing do mi sol mi do or la la la la la or something to that effect)? If so, ask you teacher if you can tape it and sing to that at home. That is all a vocal coach really does. Trust me. I have been in choir my entire life, and if you have any more questions, please, please drop them in my inbox.

I think you can probably download some voice lessons on the web. There are also books you can buy, like at Half- Price Books, they are cheap and have good selections. Good luck in your voice career.

It resonates in your head and obstructs the sound you hear. (That's how my tone ended up too dark and I'm still working on making it brighter)
A voice coach, maybe even your choir director would be willing to help you a little, can tell you what the rest of the world will hear, and how to make things sound better to everyone else - when you sing, you sing for the world/an audience, not for you. What you sing needs to be good enough for the world to love, not just you.
Have you spoken to your mom or dad about wanting a voice coach? Parents can be surprisingly helpful, especially if there are money issues involved.
You might try speaking to them. If not, talk to your choir director about it. Maybe he or she would be able to help find you a coach who won't charge too much, or even coach you him or herself.
I hope this helps!
