I would let her know that all people have different voices, just like all birds have different songs, and we all know that if the only birds that sang in the forest were the ones that "could" the forest would be an aweful quite place. who wants a forest full of birds that all sound alike?

Let her know that her voice is beautiful the way it is, but if she wants to try and change any part of it she doesnt like you will be there to help her along.

good luck,
