Help Want Feedback What Do You Think Of My Singing

What do you think of my singing voice?

What kind of play is it?  I would say you are neither naturally very talented nor bad.  I think there is potential, and I think regardless you should be willing to give it a try.  This way the teacher can hear and guide you.However, you definitely sound like you are pushing your voice and yelling.  Put simply, it sounds like you're trying too hard, having to strain.  You're going nasal and you're trying too hard to work the style of the song, without really singing.  I wasn't familiar with the song so I listened to the original.  There are times when there should be some notes held with natural vibrato kicking in and I don't hear any from you.  Maybe you can try posting something simple and not stylistic, to give a better idea of your skillset.  Even singing Happy Birthday will be beneficial in evaluating your natural singing voice.I'd recommend that you find a teacher to listen to you in person and help guide you.  Pushing your voice like that can damage your voice, and yelling like this through many play practices, if your teacher isn't vocally savvy but still lets you have a role just to be included, would not be good.  If you can just learn some basics of good vocal health, it would help.  I think you have a nice tone.  Wtih training, you'd be able to remove some of the nasality and sound much better.  I can hear potential, but definitely take some lessons and get training from a good vocal teacher.

Can someone please give me feedback on my singing and guitar playing?

Hey Saurabh, thanks for the A2A!First of all, kudos for putting yourself out there, it takes a lot of guts to let go of that self-consciousness and showcase others what you can do!Now, regarding the singing, you really need to put in a lot of work IMO. You seem to be struggling with getting the notes right in a number of phrases, and I suspect this is not a hearing issue (I saw your Norwegian Wood video and your pitch is quite fine there) but rather because you are straining massively in the middle part of your range (i.e. A3-D4). The latter, to me, is due to both your breathing and a closed throat - you do not seem to have enough air to support your notes, while you are not opening your mouth enough to allow enough space to resonate your sound easily, which causes you to strain and affects your diction massively as well.Instead of telling you to ‘breathe from the diaphragm’ and ‘sing from the diaphragm, not the throat’, like what most people will do although to me that advise does not help at all if no one is illustrating you, I will instead recommend you to lay down on the ground or bed, take a book, put it your belly, and just breathe without allowing your shoulders and neck area to raise or get engaged. If only the book is moving, then you are breathing correctly, and now imagine that sensation when you are singing, this time managing the air to ensure that you do not run out of it to be able to sustain your phrases. When you do so, try imagining a subtle yawn (without actually yawning, or else the tone will sound unnatural) as well because this will help open up the back of your throat to not allow constriction when you sing, and it will also improve the clarity of your diction massively.With regards to the guitar playing, the rhythm needs to be a little bit more fluid just like in the original. At the same time, I notice that some of your chords are incorrect and do not seem to harmonise with your singing as well (particularly “They sliver while they pass…” - the chord in that line should be, if I am not mistaken, an Em7) - getting the right chords first is a must, because it does not matter how nice your voice sounds if your chords are wrong - you are going to sound out of tune to the listener even if you are singing the melody in the correct pitch.That is all I can say. Keep practicing man!
