At last, this/last week I tried a few times practicing singing to Kareoke , which forces you to hear your own voice in all its terrible glory.

I am absolutely shocked, dumbfounded, by the improvement I made in this short time.

For reference, you can literally not find a worse singer on earth than me (except for someone tone deaf). It was literally and absolutely painful as fuck to hear me sing. The most painful thing and embarrassing thing in the world. Like, just, please for the love of God, stop. Don't even bother. Just, leave.

On top of that, my base vocal range was next to nothing. If you said 6-12 months ago if I would be able to hit half the notes in this song then I would have said you are a stinking liar, let alone the 'high' notes. Range is something I have worked on for a year now and it too has blown my mind, and only 'recently' have did I finally begin to make and then solidify the breakthrough, but I made it all the same. It is jawdropping, the improvement

So, following advice from here, lately I spent ~2 nights practicing with Kareoke instead of singing along to normal songs, and the result is incredible, amazing, wonderous, spellbinding

(Although I am on some painkillers when I recorded this, which I think gives me a big generalised bonus above my normal ability, too, lol. this is, also, like take 1, just straight up)

Thank you to the people who encouraged me in the past

spent the time to download songs that i like, feel free to suggest more !

There's a fairly noticeable improvement honestly. You still need a ton of work though, so keep at it.

Good job!

Keep it up, man. I wish I had something as artsy/creative as this to cling onto. It's going to feel really satisfying to watch yourself improve if you put the hours in.

Hey mate!
I was really looking forward to hearing an update. Glad it's here now =))

You said your major breakthrough came from switching to Karaoke instead of singing along to normal songs. I can definitely relate to that. This immediately improved your singing. Nice.

So, my biggest criticism here is that you seem to be "holding back", as if you were to shy to sing. Ask yourself, can you feel that you're holding back when singing? Are you afraid to really let go and really sing? Cause that's what it sounds like

Take for example the part at 0:17. You sing that first line nicely ("and do they know"). I have no complains there. But in the following lines something is happening. For example when you sing that long ooooold. Why are you pressing your voice so hard? It sounds like you're trying to hold back, not daring to sing it.
