If you sing from your diaphragm, and resonate in your 'mask',(the region around the front of your face), and NOT use your 'throat voice', you should NOT have ANY problems with your singing voice!! The monsters of singing know this. With a little practice and discipline..this not only will be NO problem....but it is also CORRECT...and you should avoid EVER going hoarse, or hurting your vocal chords. If you need clarification about that, I would give a buzz to a school, and repeat what I just said, and ask the teacher, exactly to explain, and show you, what and how....if you have ANY questions.

Love Ya'..God bless...and sing well!
