Critique my technique?

Hey Guys, I'm sure you've had many of these posts but I sincerely want to improve any way I can so it would be awesome if some of you can give me little tips and pointers on how to bring the best out of my voice. In both videos I tried to sing soft/low but I had problems trying trying not to make it too breathy or so low that you can't even hear it (like the Collide video) so if anyone can explain that to me.

Thank you in advance,

Kiiaz

I forgot to say ..PLEASE?

I think that you are a pretty good singer. Pitch is good and on key. Maybe I hear a little vibrato sometimes. I think working on vibrato and tremolo could bring your voice out more.

Cool! I'll look up those terms and try to work on them

What are your goals as a singer/guitar player?

Hobby?

Amatuer performer?

I think based on your answer....should an honest critique be given:)

It is a hobby for now but it would be nice to be an amateur performer, really I dno haha I just want to be the best I can

great songs, very well performed.

I'm a poor singer but I'm a competent musician and I love listening to music. You have it. Keep playing!

that's a real kind comment dude, just work hard at it, really you can do anything

As a newb to this forum I'm gonna say about the first video that your voice sounds warm and the high notes sounded very good. But sounds a little lethargic to me, like you're not really in it.

Thank you for your input!

yeah it does seem like I was lethargic in both my body movement and effort, I was actually trying to be more relaxed since I tend to get nervous when I record (trying to make it perfect which doesn't happen) I think also I was pretty concentrated on reading the lyrics LOL

I will definitely take this into consideration for my next video
