(Just look at Bob Dylan - he's got almost no vocal range at all, but his songs are deeply moving and iconic.) If I had to offer one piece of advice: Write a song that moves people, and write it from within yourself. Your personal narrative is more engaging and moving than anything else you can imagine in your mind.

Settling for mediocrity-settling instead of pushing-those who learn to be the best version of themselves know the secret to a full life.
