I learned it too late but early enough to still find the joy. It's what you may not be told by those who teach voice but you need to be.
When I was in high school and took private lessons, I was taught important basics, learned the scales and techniques but unfortunately, none of my teachers told me this: don't try to control it.
That doesn't mean screaming when you don't have the pipes for it or straining nor wreaking havoc on your instrument. Yet don't think you have to control your voice with some self-imposed false sense of what it has to sound like.
Set your voice free and don't be afraid of exploring places unguided by conscious purpose.
