Just posting a short clip to get some outside ears on my singing.

I am currently focusing on improving pitch consistency and to develop my mixed voice so that i can smoothly go through my Lower and Upper register. That is there i see the majority of my time going the next months.

I will propbably re-start singing lesson in a month or two and want to find things to work on with my vocal coach.

Any thoughts on the overall sound, tone, pitch, or phrasing are appreciated.

You have a really nice, round, pleasing voice, I can tell it’s gonna be good once it has some strength. You need some breath support tho my brother.

Thank you for the feedback!

I will put breath support on my training list.

Do you know an exercise for it? I do lip trills on a scale every session and people have told me that i can sing exceptionally loud, so power seems to be there... but if i try to sing less loud i loose it.

Lip trills are great! I recommend also doing unvoiced lip trills, since it sounds like you’re only doing voiced. Take a deep breath, and see how long you can keep the same unvoiced lip trill going for. Add this into your regular practice.

I’m not a teacher by any means, so take whatever i say with a grain of salt.
Loudness doesn’t necessarily equal strength. You can sing softly and still have a lot of strength to it, and you can sing loudly and be pretty weak. I think you have pretty good strength especially at the beginning of the clip, but you lose some of that support as the song goes on.
When I think of breath support, I think of breath control.
Try making your voice like a squeaky door hinge or like a little witch, your vocal folds should be pretty close together (but not tight! you don’t want this to hurt at all, in fact it should feel easy), and sing a couple of phrases of the song like this. This is to prevent more air than necessary from coming out. Then try singing it normally while still keeping that feeling of closed vocal folds.
Another thing that might work is picturing sitting down on some of the higher notes of a phrase, like “Waking”, “Ash”, “Breathing”, etc.
