My current WIP is an MG fantasy in 1st POV. I'm about 30,000 words in, and while I'm thoroughly enjoying the voice, I'm beginning to feel that the POV isn't doing the worldbuilding or the magic system justice, not least because the cast is somewhat large. I want to rewrite it as 3rd person limited; the narrative would still revolve around the MC alone, but the there's more distance (and less claustrophobia). Thing is, every time I try rewriting it as 3rd POV, I'm put off by the complete loss of voice. Several POV-related articles and blog posts warn that 1st POV is hard to give up on cause of how voicey it is. Anyone else having this problem?
