One problem most vocalists have is that they hate their own voice, get over that. GMC has some great singing lessons, you should check those out and really practice them and be very critical.

About this, well... get used to it, this is how your voice sounds for anybody else About intonation, timing, phrasing and all those things, practice will for sure improve your skills.

I haven't heard the clip yet, but the mental thing about hating your own voice is true. It's like how most people don't like photos of themselves either.

Good start is proper breathing and going through scales.Also this recording is pretty bad...You need to record stronger vocal signal , possibly use some compression too..Bad vocal mix in a song can make it appear much more weak than it is (voice).Just take it slowly and go through lessons...

Well, I heard you song and there are many problems ... 1- you are singing out of pitch This could be for many things : you are not hearing your song while you are singing or you are not hearing you voice while your song is playing, So there are no connection OR... You are singing in other register that isn't confortable for your voice . I noticed that you are sining in a loud register, and if you try to sing your song in an octave higher, you'll find the difference. 2- The mix of the song is not a good one I can hear that the mix isn't clear. Imagine that you must to show your song to somebody else, and this person needs to define each instrument clearly. Send me the song in a MP3 format and i'll singing for you, If you want ... If you have the lyric, send it to me too. and if you want to sing, you have to take some singing lesson, just like with other instrument. Hope it helps Luciana You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

But I think is a problem that can be solved with good practice. If you never took singing lessons the problem is you don't know how to manage your voice and your tone. Listen to the classical singers for example. They didn't born with the kind of tone you hear in the records, they had to practice a lot to get the kind of volume and to modify the tone to get that warm sounding. There are various techniques, the most known for classical singers is the Italian one. So I recommend that you have patience and study how to manage your voice in a way you get more comfortable with yourself. The voice is the one instrument you cannot change, you have a defined registre and tone but you can adjust those parameters and study to get them like you. I hope you find this usefull.
