When I was in grade school, I sang a lot in the choir. My singing instructor said I had a beautiful voice, as did parents and classmates. I sang solos at school concerts, and I admit, I was pretty good.
Then a year or two later, I stopped singing after 9/11 . I haven't really sung in six years (i'm in high school now), and I'm really intrested in singing again, but I lost my voice! Is there a way to get it back?

DO NOT, as one answer has stated, practice for 2 hours a day singing as loudly as you can; since your voice is not used to the exhertion, you could cause serious damage to your vocal chords.
You must must must get a good voice teacher. If you're at a decently big high school, there's probably one affiliated with your choral program; ask the choir director or a choir student whose voice you admire if they know of any good teachers. You would not believe the amount of difference lessons with a teacher can do. Also, if you haven't sung really in six years and you're in high school now, your voice has probably changed some due to puberty (yes, it even happens to us girls). Actually, ones voice doesn't stop changing till about age 28, so you have plenty of time to keep improving what you have.
Also, join the school choir or a church choir if you can. Choral singing is different from solo singing, to be sure, but both are valuable talents to pursue.
In the time you are not singing, you can still be doing things to improve yourself as a performer. For example:
Do light weight exercises for your back and abs to help with supporting the tone.
Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. If you get hoarse, suck on cough drops and drink tea with honey.
Listen to famous singers in your voice part and style of singing to learn from what they do, what they sound like. You might also listen to their CDs to find works you want to add to your repetoire.
If doing classical training, learn German, French, and/or Italian. Knowing the language you're singing in helps with diction and the emotion you put behind the words.
If training for Broadway or opera, watch movies or stage performances of the famous shows in the respective genre. Knowledge of many shows will help with auditions and performances come around.
If training for more concert/album production, build your repetoire, and read a book or take a class on how to plan the music for a recital.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Is there any way to join your schools choir at the semester break? You really just need to start singing again. Joining choir or trying out for a musical would be a great way to start. You might also ask the choir teacher if they could recommend a voice teacher. Working with a voice teacher will help train your voice properly and break any bad habits you may have. Most of all HAVE FUN! GOOD LUCK!

Slowly work yourself up to where you want to be.
I was in the same position, I stopped singing after 8Th grade and haven't sung again until my Junior year. In that time my voice changed, i got Bronchitis, and laryngitis three times. I spent a full three months re-training my voice for endurance, doing basic chords, rising, falling, finding my new limits. Vitamin C helps allot, but mostly its devotion. If you are really interested in singing again, Start singing songs you know, no matter how bad you think you are, and it will come back.

Since it sounds like you were/ARE quite talented, I agree that you must get your voice back. Find a good vocal teacher and find a throat specialist just to make sure there are no medical reasons for you NOT to sing.
Ask your high school music director for other tips and whether you can join choir.

properly Mrs. GEM ... being that i'm a singer (have been when you consider that i replaced into small) i could say I desire my making a music voice over the two. even with the undeniable fact that, as for the "tournament" part of your question all those years of making a music and conversing loudly (as a instructor) have deepened my voice so as that now they're lots alike. My conversing voice is deep and so is my making a music voice. My vocal coaches interior the previous have mentioned the two are comparable it relatively is properly somewhat unusual. i'm happy my conversing voice replaced because of the fact I hated it whilst i replaced into youthful. I sounded extra like a small animal being strangled when I talked! lol i admire my voice the intensity that that's now ... and that i'm grateful for each and each of the years of making a music! =) Peace to you. **************************************...

If you stopped singing because 9/11 affected you then you should talk to a therapist about it. I think it goes deeper than the voice, itself.

Just practice everyday and try not to eat some food that can actually ruin your voice.

go to a voice coach and maybe a doctor, though i would suppose the problem is emotional since you attatched the stoppage to 9/11
