Hi there.

I should state first off, that is not my favorite song, I think it was a bit outside for vocal range.

If an old fart can give you a couple pointers here.
When you sing, you need to sing from the diaphragm not your throat, that is why when you go for the high notes it gets squeezed out.

Stand up and exhale, then take a deep breath.

I will bet you pulled in your gut (diaphragm) when in inhaled.
Now try again, and when you get to a full breath, stick your tummy out and see how much more air you can draw in.

With the air in your lungs, you can now use the diaphragm muscles to get volume and it will take the strain off your vocal cords.


It take time to relearn how to breath, but once you get it down, you will find you can hit higher and lower notes as well as hold notes longer.

As to the rest of the video, the camera was too low, it was like we were having to look up at you. You should look into the camera, not at a lyric sheet off to the side, place the que card with a hole in the center to place the lens through. We will never see it, but you will and you will look as if you are looking at us at the same time.

Better mics and place them so the guitar isn't so tinny. If it has a pick up, run it through an amp so you can massage the tone.

All in all, you put fourth a good effort, these are just so pointers to help you take it to the next level, as they say.
