It might not be that you don't have a good voice. You may just need to take some singing lessons so you know how to properly sing. Off-key singing is super annoying, I'd give it a shot.

I have a voice that goes through my noise so I can't really help that.

I sing anyways, in private though :D

I hate not being able to sing, but theres not really anything you can do about it if you dont have the right voice you know.
Thing that sucks for me is that I have avery deep voice and somepeople think I should try singing because, "You never know"but truth is I cant at all lol.

It's funny if a person sings and their voice is horrible. I went bowling a few nights ago, and in the bar section was karaoke night. This lady was singing "I'm Just a Girl" by No Doubt, and it was probably the funniest thing I've heard all summer. Whether she was drunk or not, still hilarious...

It kind of makes me sad because I'm not like "I can't sing and don't care"..I actually do care about singing the songs I like.

I don't want to be "hilarious". If I wanted to be that then I'd do a stand up comedy act. I want to sing because I like the songs.

Singing lessons is your only answer, or just practice on your own. This has already been stated many times. There is no magic way to make your voice better. It just takes practice and development of your own sound.

Encourage drinking alcohol for the people around that will hear you sing. It works in karaoke bars.

No. Definitely not. I can't stand that type of "music". I can't even do those kind of vocals, either.

If you're into the song and sing with the right feeling then there's nothing wrong. Everyone has a unique voice anyway.

Rap. Just kidding. I guess practice singing until you develop your voice to be good at singing. Maybe in the shower.

Take lessons. I honestly have no idea if I can sing (I'm pretty damn good at it in Rock Band :P) but I do it anyway. In the privacy of my own room, of course. :P

No as in "no lessons?" If that's the case, than you really have no option but to just wing it and hope you can sing in tune.

You don't have to take lessons. Most of your favorite singers never took lessons. I'm in a band and write my own music and songs, my voice isn't great, but the level I have improved is immense, I am actually ok with hearing my voice now. I'm not trying to say I'm great, but you know how when you hear your voice it makes you want to pull your hair out? Well, I can sound now like I think I sound in my head, which is ok. You know what my great big secret is?

A car.

Drive and sing to your favorite music. I did that and after a couple months/years, you'll get better. I mean belt that sh*t out, don't hold back, who will judge you? No one. And so you can find your real strengths and weaknesses without people thinking you an idiot. It worked for me, or rather, it works for me.

You do what you do with any instrument. You take lessons, you practice, all that sort of thing. Also, you need to know what's in your range. If you're a bass, you shouldn't be singing tenor songs, and stuff like that.

Well, it won't sound good unless you practice, and know how to practice. Also, depending on your voice, there's some stuff you just can't sing as written.

If my voice goes through my nose then it can't be helped anyway. I can't sing from my gut or whatever or even my throat. It goes through my nose.
