What do you do if you like to sing and want to sing songs but "can't"?

I don't want anybody to try to change my voice. It's not even possible.

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.

A nasal voice can't be helped. I just want to sing naturally.

I didn't take lessons for guitar or bass. I just listened to songs and looked at tabs.

sing anyway... just don't expect anyone to like it.

So what is it? You want to be a better singer, but you aren't willing to actually do anything to get better?

I mean, what's the point of this thread? If you just want to sing and don't care about anything else, then just sing along with whatever song. If you want advice on getting better, you don't duck the most frequent suggestion.

I just said that I wanted to sing.

This is making me nervous and kind of sick..

Play them with my guitar.

I really want to do vocals...

sing when you are driving somewhere by yourself.

I told you I don't drive and I want to sing to other people.

Lock the door to your room, soundproof the walls and sing in there

Singing isn't just something that's "there" for you. No musical instrument is like that. It takes work.

No I want to sing vocals for songs to other people.

Considering you're on a videogame forum, you probably play videogames. Sing while you play. My girlfriend was going to University of Miami for operatic singing (not sure the technical name) and she has one hell of a voice, and she says humming is one of the best things you can do because it doesn't strain your vocal cords. Also, just singing quietly to yourself is good too. I found that when I really started singing loudly that I could find my true range and ability though.

You can cover originally tenor songs in baritone.

It's just a lower octave or whatever.

Exception

I have a gravelly voice when I want/need/must and soda helps a great deal with this, almost feels like it makes a coating over the back of your throat witch helps me.

But for professional/choral singing, yea, milk and soda are apparently bad.
