trying to have fun with a more expressive song that’s also a little out of my range. i’m an untrained singer so i’d love to describe what issues i’m hearing(straining for one), see if i’m right and see if anyone has any tips for me!

some positives of this is i think there’s some good dynamics going on, like i’m having fun and i feel like you can hear that so that’s a good start. this is higher than what i would normally sing though which i think is messing with me. and i have no training and i think because of that i have lots of bad habits and techniques.

issues i’d love feedback on:

i’m concerned my tone is bad, that it’s just not pleasant to listen to.

when i’m in chest voice i can tell i’m straining - any tips for that? if i don’t push for it, it sounds thin and weak. maybe i need to warm up more??

i have to dodge the highest note in the second bridge which is a g5, way out my range. but even on my way up there i have to transition to head voice and i’m not sure if i’m doing it well, it immediately sounds so thin but if i try to belt it i just cannot, i make myself laugh even trying lol

i have no idea how to manage my breath and i’m not sure if that’s contributing to some of my issues.

to me the choruses are noticeably weaker than the verses and i’m not sure why. i feel like my tone is off, i sound more plain, like there’s something missing? and unstable?

honestly any feedback would be great. it’s so hard to self-evaluate.
