I have mentioned it a few places, but I am a bit stumped on how to proceed with my voice. I know I have to work on a ton still, such as inflection, but (as I say in the clip) for the time being I'm focusing on pure sound since I'm not using the voice publicly. Those of you with an ear for this and therapy experience, can you point me in the right direction? Is it just a matter of speaking with this voice enough for it to "settle"? Pitch in the sample provided varies between 210-240 according to Pitchlab lite, though I hit a lower pitch here and there that is just my voice cracking with the lack of pure practice/vocal strength/endurance.
Here is the sample:

For the most part, this is virtually no practice, it's just what I've always been able to do(I do a lot of impressions and accents and have a fairly large vocal range), so that I'm hoping with proper direction I can get somewhere solid, yet definitely don't want to wait until I'm in an area with vocal therapists to start (none around here obviously).
What I know I need:
- A slightly higher pitch (though this seems to be very equivalent to my mom's voice, I'd like something a bit more like my sister's which has a higher more melodic sound, may not be realistic but that's the goal).
- Endurance
- Inflection
- Projection (i can speak normal volume, but can't yell or anything)
I have hit a perfect voice before by pure accident sort of copycating my sister, that I can't find my way back to. So I know I can do better, I just don't know how to get there. ;/ My natural voice is around 135 average mhz if that matters.
