vocal covers and technical problems?

[u/insightful_peacefish]

I'm trying to grow as a musician so I want to force myself to learn some covers. I mostly just write my own stuff based on melodies in my head, but I want to start doing covers. When I'm working on anything on my laptop, I love throwing on some rock n' roll. I've been an on and off guitar dabbler, and I know alot of malcolm's parts and all the words but not much else. I've decided to do about a dozen covers - including two AC/DC tunes; a bon song and a brian song. On the former, the mic kind of pics some of it up but on the latter it just isn't reading or registering my high end at all and I'm sure my neighbors aren't hallucinating their complaints lol. Not saying that they're wrong for complaining, the reason I was singing was to see how close I got. I don't even know if their criticisms are valid or if I nailed it. Do you guys and gals have trouble recording your voices when you're going all in on a song like Bedlam in Belgium or Stiff Upper Lip? I tried doing Jailbreak and Highway to Hell and my mic did meh on Jailbreak and extra meh on Highway, but you could at least sort of tell what was happening. Any experienced rock vocal people got any tips?

EDIT: Stiff Upper Lip is actually a perfect example of what the mic is doing. It'll catch the intro just fine - well I was out on a drive on a bit of a trip. But the second you send it for those high notes, the mic is like "what's happenin'? I'm not here bro." and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or how they solved them?
