Do you have to be born with a good voice or can you just practice and get better?

Question

The question says it all, I'm 16 years old and I love to sing anywhere at work in the car in the mall but when I was at a talent show at school people bo'od me off the stage, Are you born with a good voice or can you develop and get better.

Answer 1

Actually both. Everyone is born with some sort of voice, even if you can't sing that well there are always ways to improve your voice. Singing classes can't make you a great singer, but you can improve your voice to actually make it sound better. But most great singers are naturally born with their voices.  

Answer 2

YOu're born with some voice... that can do stuff. Then you develop it. Not all can sing.
