There is a flaw in the way we describe voices as song words we use can be taken as either positive or negative. The continuum of comparative words such as dark/bright, clear/breathy is a good starting place for trying to refine listening skills. McCoy said not to listen for enjoyment but to listen for the sake of sharpening your ears. As you listen, be empathetic through careful and critical listening!
Application: I need to listen without comparison! What I mean by this, is listening for the qualities and characteristics of voices that aren't like mine. Instead of trying to relate my voice to others I need to be more open and listen more critically so I can become a better listener!
