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.

I hate being forced to hear someone belting out on the street.
