However, the primary problem seems to be breath control. You appear to be singing from your throat, and this produces notes that are unstable, both in pitch and in volume. If you develop some breath control, your vocals will improve quickly, IMO. The idea is to use breath to stabilize, even out, support, etc., your notes. Think of COMPRESSON (in the sense of the audio effect)--good breath technique compresses your sound, and this reduces wavering and provides a stable tone.

A few lessons would help enormously, if you can swing it. But in any case please carry on! You can certainly sing. +1 to all of that :D

Your voice didn't sound nasally to me, but if your having problems with that you can try and either sing with a low larynx (by singing like yogi bear) or try and open your soft palate when you sing (by focusing on that 'yawn' feeling).

IMO your voice is a little bit flat at parts, you should try and sing scales and try and improve your higher registers. It will feel silly at first but just record yourself, and try and concentrate on firstly hitting the correct notes, after that you can add power and tone to it.

But the hardest part is always listening to it yourself, so well done on doing that :D.

While I don't have anything to post until Thursday night, I've been practice a bit with the tips that you all have given me, and all I have to say at the moment, is that it feels very very different. But I do notice a big difference....at least I think that I do.

Thanks again for the tips!]]> Singing JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/want-to-start-singing/#post-294284
