Sandra, I have a bit of a different take on your voice. I think it's great but for different reasons. I also think you have something that others have lost in their quest for recording contracts and all that pwerfection. It's hard to express but you have the soul that comes out in your singing.Very few ever have that.
Look back on the different groups like the Kinks and you find singers that wanted to create something new. There was a freshness in their voices that can't be found today.
Look at Janis Joplin's career. You can hear the pain in her songs, same with Joe Cocker,and 99% of the early rock & roll as well as the Blues singers of the Southern USA.
I would PAY to see you sing, but the plane tickets a bit of an issue.
My advice is let it all out, you have something to say, push your way to the front and say it. It's about you creating images with your voice that we all experience and you can voice those feeling for us, you have it, use it.
Do it, I would but I can't.
