Im a freshmen and I auditioned for advanced choir at my highschool and I got in. Most of the people in there range from 15 years to 18 years, with only a few freshmen. However, some of the freshmen already turned 15, and there is a large difference between a 13 year old singing voice and a 16 year olds. I skipped a grade, but nobody knows that. So, my choir teacher expects me to have such a mature sounding voice but its hard! How can i make my voice sound fuller without harming it? How can I make it sound more mature? (Somebody once told me that vocal chords dont come together until your about 15, which makes the voice stronger and fuller, i have a whole year until i turn 14! what to do until then?) i would REALLY appreciate any help anybody could give me - i want to do well in my choir!

While it might be true that a person's voice doesn't "come together" until 15 or 16, it is also true that everyone develops differently and at different paces during adolescence. This means that there are probably a few 14 or 15 year olds who are still somewhat undeveloped in their voices. You're not the only one with a young voice, I am sure of that. Besides this, choirs are meant to have a variety of sounds working in harmony, which means that your choir director is probably glad that you have something different to offer when you sing. Be glad to be unique in the meantime!

Talk to your music director. Ask her/him what you can do to help your voice.
I think you could damage your voice if you try to do too much. Would using vibrato help?
Take a few lessons from your singing friends. Note what they are doing regarding breathing and breath control. Sound control.
You might just have to wait until your voice matures naturally.

Try to lower your voice without deepining it ( there is a way to lower your voice to make it sound more mature, without the notice or sounding of you making an effort to deeping it by lowering the pitch)
Practice

you build a time machine and go forward in time 2 years.
or...
be mature enough to talk to you choir teacher and explain to him whats happening.
or...
he just knows you can do better. maybe all you need is practise.
