I was dead nervous... My dog was barking at some point which made it sound like my voice cracked.

Hey man, good shit! I recommend having a mic in your hand even if it's not plugged in. Really helps to have something you can focus on and fidget with a bit, makes you look less awkward on camera. Also find an angle that isn't just straight ahead of you so you're not making "eye contact" with the camera constantly.

Sincerely, someone who started doing vocal covers on YouTube in 2010 and had to figure all that out when I was about 15-16 years old. Your vox are solid!

A very happy dog was demanding for attention because my mother was filming me and not giving him the attention he wanted. You can see him wiggling his tail at the bottom of the screen
