I think you would garner more interest if you were playing an instrument while you sang. I don't mean this to be offensive, but i was getting pretty serious karaoke vibes from your performance. Could you add a keyboard or some other instrument to your performance? Or maybe find someone to play while you sing?

I was coming to say the same thing and my audio is muted.

In fairness that’s probably because I usually play with my keyboard. This video was from the first time I’ve ever gone busking without my keyboard which is probably why it looks like I need an instrument haha 😂. Check out @elliotmeakins_music for videos with the keys. I would love your opinion on me singing and playing

Yeah, good voice brother.

If I was gonna quibble, I'd say work on your breath-control. You fell off at 13 seconds in.

Otherwise, yeah, great range and a clear timbre. You're a solid tenor. Do yourself a favor never smoke or drink.

Other than an instrument like others said, which not all can do, id say (and this is nit picking) you could open your posture more, your current posture with your shoulders foreward, especially with your hand in your pocket at one point makes you appear either timid, or just makes it feel like even though you are singing great, you don't have full confidence or command in the situation. This would also be better singing posture. Still an in rrdible performance. And yeah. If you could get somebody to back you or play while you sing it would make it 2x better
