What are some vocal excercises I can do to strengthen my voice?!
Question: I've been told that I have a beautiful voice and a nice tone, but I was wondering how I could strengthen it and make it better? I'm in choir at my highschool, and I can tell the difference between the times when school is out and I don't sing often and when I sing every day.

Well, you've already discovered one of the necessary things - keeping your voice in use. Also, make sure that you're using proper tone - a lot of popular singers today don't use the best tone, so mimicking them isn't the best way to keep your voice strong. If you can afford it, perhaps take some lessons, even just a few to learn proper ways to breathe, support your sound, and keep a clear tone. If not, ask your director in choir - they've probably at least some idea, or else know about books that might be able to help you with it. One thing that can be helpful is working on your range. You don't necessarily have to expand it much (as that can be hard work), but just making sure that you sing in all registers - although not always high or always low, but a balance that leaves you feeling comfortable.
