dorareever, I didn't like my voice much when I was in my teens and early twenties. It was too shrill to my ears. The nice thing about voices though is that they keep changing and as you get older they get richer. Working on breath control can help a lot too.

One problem I've had is that I've been surrounded by people who don't like pretty soprano voices. I like pretty soprano voices and I have a pretty soprano voice and that's how I was born. For years I kept trying to make it sound less pretty and different from what it was. I always felt like a fraud. Now that I'm finally beginning to accept my voice the way it is its changing again as I get older.
