Have you taken lessons or have several years experience in singing?
I'd say there's a LOT you can gain by taking lessons and focusing on vocal technique and phrasing. People just think "there's only so much you can do about it". But IMHO that's BS. Your usable vocal range will likely expand, you'll learn to sing both softly and loudly in a controlled manner, with different soundcolours (timbre), and, perhaps most important, how to sing in a healthy way.
There's really a lot you can do to enhance what you have, or, it's perhaps how you see it. Is the glass half empty or half full? To me, gaining a fifth in my high register and singing more dynamically was a lot. That was the result after my few first vocal lessons about a year ago. If I'd compare my current range with my range when I started out about 12 years ago, the difference is over an octave in the high range, my voice is much more stable, and I've become much more versatile as a singer. You tell me if that sounds like a minor or major improvement....
