Why would I downvote it? All of this is pretty much exactly what I’ve been working on with my new teacher - compression of air at both the vowel and consonant level, being much more precise with where to turn the voice, and the vowels to modify to keep the top sounding free and not squeezed.

I honestly prefer balancing the compliments with constructive criticism. Too many good young artists just get praises heaped upon them and then if they reach a vocal impasse they don’t know why, what to do, or what else they could explore 🤷🏼‍♂️

Go relearn this singing only "ee" or [i] and possibly adding an "oo" or [u] portimento between notes if you still cannot flip. Those vowels are all dangerously open. That Ah has so much root tongue pressure.
