good voice?
my friend lily really wants to be in theater, but she never wants to sing. and i'm like sing lily come on i'll tell you the truth if you are bad or not. well she finally did but she was embarrased to sing right infront of me so she made a video of her singing random lines. I don't think she's like horrible. What do you think? I really want to know so I can tell her if she should try getting singing lessons or something. Please don't say oh she's flat or she isn't hitting the note cause she never has had singing lessons. Thanks! Heres the link to the video (please watch the whole thing): [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

her pitch is really not that good, but she sounds like she needs to open her mouth more, and let the notes out. and she sounds like shes signing under her breath, and if shes going to be in theater she needs to be loud, tell her to just let the notes flow and not to be afraid to open her mouth.

Her voice is okay. She's not horrible, but her voice is soft and airy, which doesn't work in musical theater. In musical theater, you must be able to fill a whole auditorium with your voice. And if you don't have confidence, they'll NEVER take her. You have to be shameless and full of life to be an actor. Voice lessons will help her project her voice, and maybe overcome her stage fright, so yes, I'd recommend lessons. But either way, her voice as it is, is not suitable for theater. She has no vibrato, and her pitch is really off. And pitch isn't something that you can get with voice lessons---you have to naturally have it. But if she's determined enough, she can learn to have vibrato and maybe she'll grow out of her pitch problems. But it will take LOTS of time. Years.
*there is no such thing as a terrible voice. Any voice that is trained will never sound terrible.*

From what I could tell from that, shes alright. I think a voice coach would be a good idea. In my opinion, shes lacking strength in her voice and consistancy with her notes. Very quiet also, she needs to be more bold and daring with some keys. I think she could be really good if she was just a little more confident. Hope all goes well. :]

I can't really give a good opinion based on that because she is practically whispering. She needs to sing more loudly, more confidently, and to project herself.
As it is, she sounds like there must be someone in the next room she really doesn't want to hear her singing. If so, she needs to try it again when there is nobody else home.
At any rate, if she wants to be in theater she has to get over her shyness. As mentioned by another, there is just no way around that. The best voice in the world is no help if the person is too shy to let it out. Alternately, confidence, personality, and voice lessons can overcome a mediocre voice.

first off, she lacks any kind of confidence necessary to even make the chorus of any show. no amount of lessons can improve that. if she can't sing in front of a friend how is she going to audition for anything and stand out from hundreds of other kids? you can even tell it in her voice. secondly, her lack of confidence in her voice makes her waver until she finds the right notes. the end of nearly every phrase she sings ends with way too much vibratto. and it's soft. musical theater does not want soft voices with too much vibratto. I think she'd benefit from group-style lessons more than solo lessons because she will be forced into large interaction with other people with varying levels of confidence. also, these peers will be harsher on her than a teacher of solo lessons which she needs to get used to if she wants to get into musical theater.
