I learned it too late, but early enough to still find the joy of singing from your heart, not your head. It's what you may not be told by those who teach. However, you need to be told.
In high school, I 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. However, 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.
