I don't use the word "suck." I saw "raw." It's sounds much more positive--remember, all the eons of musicians and singers who passed down this tradition to use weren't trained at all. If your not so good, I think of you having a "raw, earthier sound." That's a good thing. If they ever bother you about your style, remember the old Italian proverb--"As the porcupine said to the squirrel, if you don't like it here, go somewhere else." BTW Louis Armstrong had a "raw voice" too. Be proud of it!
