Definitely do scales. Practice your reathing too. "I sang a note on the" breath "bridge the other" breath "night." Just doesn't cut it. Take a deep breath (do breathing exercises), do "I sang a note on the bridge the other night." breath. Youtube offers various singing and breathing for singing exercises.

Okay, so this is my first song I ever uploaded on here. Please look and see if it's improved.

Before: https://soundcloud.com/koalatyreke/voice-040:

After: https://soundcloud.com/koalatyreke/l...ets/real-voice

 

Also check out this new recording of one of my favorite song - https://soundcloud.com/koalatyreke/o...ed-knees-cover

 

Yep, I think it is an improvement. You should ask as many people as possible, and make up your mind which direction you want to go. Everyone is a sound expert. If you want genre specific feedback, you have to ask r & b fans. As far as I am concerned, the natural version is fuller, less pitchy, and presumable easier on your vocal instrument -- a win-win-win.

 

Here is some more kickingtone psychology (my own theories) :)

 

Hearing music is partly psychological. Just like seeing a scene, our mind's ear, just like our mind's eye, pieces together all the hints that we physically register to form the whole. So the physical note is only a hint at a sensation or emotion, which our mind interprets into the sensation or emotion. A good singer is evocative -- a good hinter.

 

The problem is that we each find that our own voice has the most powerful hinting power. After all it is part of a feedback loop made for us, alone! So we can sing a slightly duff note and still hear the intended note. Other people just hear the duff note. For them there is not enough of a hint, because it is not their voice.

 

So, listening to your own voice is actually a skill that needs to be practiced. You have to step back, relax, and pretend you are listening to someone else singing. It is not easy, but this way you don't get too involved in taking up hints and psychologically correcting errors.

 

So here is a slightly longer experiment. Keep the recordings that you are making now. Practice pitch. Try not to snatch at notes you are not comfortable with. Then compare your recordings in 2 months time. See if you are able to hear things you weren't able to hear before. When I tried this, it helped me a lot.

 

All the best. :)
