I would add something I feel is quite important to Peggy's answer. In
addition to what makes your voice sound good should also be, "what feels
right". If you can produce a beautiful sound by doing something which feels
uncomfortable (even painful) then don't do it. I can produce a passable
baritone sound, but not for long. I can do my medium lyric tenor for ages!
