Answer 1

i studied operatic voice at a performing arts school and also trained theater majors in voice for two years. it is possible for some, but not all, to become better, you just have to work at it and do breathing exercises that will allow you to expand your air capacity (part of sounding good is learning where to take breaths and where NOT to take breaths, etc). there are no drinks, or anything else that can make your voice sound any different than it does now. dont fall for any gimmicks that may say otherwise; theyre a waste of money. the ONLY way to improve is to work hard at it, practice every day and you really will need someone who knows what theyre doing to listen to and help you along if you really want to improve. just singing along with the radio, as someone said (lol!!), will not do a thing to help you improve, and she is wrong when she says you just have to be "gifted with a good voice"- if youre not tone deaf, you can learn to be a decent singer (although if you want to be excellent, that does take natural talent). if you want, you can email me a file with a sample of you singing on it and i will listen to it and tell you what i think and give you some exercises you can do at home; i cant really tell you anything specific because i havent heard you.
