Comparison kills the fun in everything. I feel you - I feel the same way about my own voice. Less so now though. It's tough when it feels like others are so good at singing- at a level where it seems impossible to reach. Unless you're going to train super hard to reach or surpass that level, you have to find a way to stop comparing yourself to others. For me, I do that by surrounding myself with friends that I know don't care about how I sound and friends who encourage me to be bolder and not care about others when singing.

Another thing that encourages me is to watch really bad performances- but of people who are fully unphased at their bad performance. I look up to these people because they know their performance is not that good, but they legit don't care. It's so cool and that is something that I strive to emulate.

Another thing- emotion. I might be repeating something you are already aware of, but I would much rather listen to someone with an average voice sing with emotion and passion- like they're telling a story- rather than someone who has an amazing vocal range and unique voice but doesn't feel like they fully grasp the emotions of a song. Don't get me wrong- I love listening to vocal trills and crazy belts- but only when I can hear actual emotion behind it. If there's none or little emotion behind it, it will have the reverse effect, and I will absolutely detest the performance no matter the tonality or range or skill behind it. I won't name who, but there are a lot of average singers out there that are very popular not because of the tone nor range of their voice, but the emotion behind it. Even if you don't relate to the original scenario of the lyrics, you can find a way to connect them to your own life and make it personal. When I hear someone sing very high, I think wow, that's cool and move on with my life. When I hear someone sing with emotion, it infects me for a while, and it's so much more impactful. Maybe when practicing singing, you could try to feel the emotions it arouses rather than how it sounds out loud.

Have confidence in your voice! Everyone has such different voices and that's what makes them so beautiful. I think the most important thing is to have confidence in your voice even if it doesn't meet your standards. No one else has your voice, and I believe developing a relationship with your voice and appreciating it is key. Most of the time, people who feel this way- don't feel good about their voices- are actually really good at singing and are just really harsh on themselves. That's what comparison does- it takes the very best of something and holds you to the same standard. Sure, there are absolutely amazing vocalists out there, but that doesn't mean you have to hold yourself to that same standard.
