Answer 1

Hello there.

I am a professional singer and vocal coach from NYC.

You have potential. You do need A LOT of work. You have two major problems... (1) You sing through your nose. (2) You aren't staying the same key.

With the help of a vocal coach and a lot of practice, the tonality of your voice does show some promise!

If you want to work on the singing through your nose thing.... try when you sing to open your mouth fully and take deep breaths from your diapragm. (When you breathe in, your stomach should come out). :-)

Don't be afraid to crack by belting out those notes! You have to find where you are comfortable singing! But... don't think about how it sounds, think about getting those notes through your throat/lungs/mouth.

Good luck and keep practicing!

Answer 2

Well, it doesn't sound like your singing from your diaphragm. Your not carrying your notes when you are supposed to, you tend to cut them off too short. You need some work on your breathing. I suggest singing lessons to learn breathing and to strengthen your control on your voice. Also you should pick some better songs that suit YOUR voice. You should play around with you rvoice a little bit and try to add some of your character into it once you gain better control.
