Thrillho:
Find out what key you sing best in, and find bands that use it a lot - sing along to their songs to strengthen your voice. Say, your voice works best in D (major or minor doesn't necessarily make a huge difference); find a band that uses D a lot, because that's what your voice is good at. After a while doing that, find a band that plays in Eb, like Guns 'n' Roses (just an example...) so at first it'll be just out of your range or just into your range - the more you sing it, the more comfortable your voice will be singing those notes (as long as you aren't screaming them too much which will shred your voice) and then soon you can move up to E.

uhh, what are some ways i can destroy my voice? cause lately i've kind of found that it's harder to sing than when i first started trying and i keep worrying that i'm fucking up my vocal cords somehow. or maybe it's just me being paranoid or something.. but what are some ways to avoid killing my voice?

Eldirial:
Well, if your voice hurts, let it be for a bit.  I often would allmost blow my voice out when i was doing a musical- just give it a little bit of a rest.  Pain in the throat is bad- it being harder to sing isn't neccisarilly bad.  Just don't scream all that much if you can avoid it, and if you are raspy or in pain, give it rest.  usually it's just overusing it to incredible amounts that can hurt your voice- most vocal problems arn't total blowouts, just need for rest.

Switchblade:
Sure, singing is trainable. The two important ones are pitch and technique. Even the most mediocre of voice can become at least reasonable if you've got a decent ear for pitch and rhythm, and know the fundamentals. and yes, it's possible to train yourself for pitch and rhythm discrimination.

The key to proper singing technique is in the breathing and airflow. Try to keep your back straight, and arms back. Breath from the diaphragm rather than the chest, and keep your gut muscles nice and tight throughout. And don't ever be afraid of volume.

The above should give you a nice operatic voice. If that's not what you're after, you can pretty much ignore the "technique" bit and just work on the pitch.

Of course, every voice has it's own character which is simply impossible to ever completely change, but you can certainly modulate it.
