I've been taking lessons for a bit now, and my teacher finally convinced me to let myself be recorded.
I know it's stupid, but I was nervous so I start off a bit shaky and then completely gently caress up the first high note on the "and so".



Any critique would be appreciated, even if this is mostly to have someone other than my teacher hear me sing (my friends will never hear me :ninja:)

You need to relax more. You're off-key in several places, but it follows the pattern of making mistakes at the points where you must've felt the most insecure. In the very beginning and at the refrain or something. Basically, you need more practice, that's the only thing that'll help.

Whoever made you record this is doing you good. You need to record so often that you don't get nervous about it anymore. For me, recording has been infinitely important for improvement. You can track what you're doing wrong and also just get used to it.

I'd say you just need more practice. As in, keep doing what you're doing until you've done it so many times, that you're confident and can relax.

Completely forgot to bookmark the thread, just saw your response.

Thanks for the comments. Now I'm left wondering whether I'm usually better and I was just nervous for the recording, or if I'm a regular mess :v:

I'll try and see about recording more often, I'll see if that helps.

Could you guys recommend a good mic I can use with my pc? I want to follow Rasselas's recommendation and start recording myself more often so I can actually use them for improving instead of sounding unsure.

Any critiques/tips on my singing (panicked sounding as it is :v:) would be appreciated; Rasselas already commented but every bit helps.

I started taking lessons on a whim, but I'unsure as gently caress when it comes to me singing. I'm... not sure if my voice is outright bad, if I'm just lacking practise or if I'm trying to sing way outside of my range and kneecapping myself.
