    More Opinions on my Singing? Video Included!
    Hi there,

    I posted on here before, and it's always nice to get some opinions from TSR

    Please let me know what you think of my singing, and please be constructive! Future cover song suggestions would also be great

    Just had a listen to your covers of By The Way and Heart Skips A Beat, and I like them! Your top range is clearly quite strong, and it'd maybe be good to explore your falsetto a bit more dependent on how comfortable it is?

    The only thing I would say to you is to pay attention to your placement, I think you maybe (along with me) have a tendency to place the note higher than it needs to be in terms of your resonators (Chest voice, head voice, positioning of the velum, that sort of thing), and if you can stop that then you'll hopefully get a nice, thicker tone from your top notes. Drop your larynx but don't suppress it, and think up and over. But it's just tiny things really, very good otherwise! ^_^

    Oh, and watch your offsets, they seem a bit breathy every now and again.

    Maybe try something like Dance With Me Tonight, to stick with the Olly Murs theme? Or Ordinary People by John Legend, that could sound nice.

    Hope I've been helpful without sounding to ridiculous and like I think I'm an expert which I'm definitely not. xD

    Ooh, do you sing? You know a lot about breath control and how to produce different types of sounds! Thanks for all of the advice, it's really helpful!
