I have to agree with Norma here...the speaking voice
isn't always an indicator...plus you are REALLY
young...and your voice will change alot over the next
few years (as a result of both vocal training and
mother nature) I think Norma was right on about
finding a teacher...find a REALLY GOOD TEACHER...not
just one who can teach you how to sing...but also a
person who can be really honest about your abilities!
good luck! this can be a really frustrating process
but definetly worth every minute!!
