Hey man,
 
Most of it is sounding really good, very good approach, you got the phrasing down, the dynamics are good, a bit of care on the key spots, "searching, feeling, etc.", be extra careful to make sure that you time that exactly the same on all the words, and use the same divisions: listen to the first time you do "Searching, Seeking". You will notice that on searching you use a constant flow, almost sliding into the notes, on seeking you made the division more pronounced, like ssseeeUHrching, SEE EE Kehn. In my opinion, it would work much better if you kept both on the "slide" feel, think that the words should sound like a moan, if you listen to Dio you will notice he keeps it quite like that, then on one of them later on you break it and go for the stacatto idea you used here, but just one.
 
Also, observe that on the low range your voice is very ballanced, its relaxed but its open, has brightness, but as you ascend for the notes that are a bit higher, you lose the brightness and round it too much, do you notice that? To avoid doing too much when you sing, I would try singing the higher parts lower in pitch, and just exagerating the brightness AND the roundness to see how it feels like, then do it on the right pitch.
Hope it helps but I really like it, it seems like a simple song but its not easy to deliver this, the interpretation is killer.

Great song from the 40s that requires some different approaches than what I am used to, very fun, and just in time with Fallout 4  
 

From another era of Faith No More, when Mike Patton changed his approach to his vocals (for better in my opinion), awesome song, has very different characters that needs a different technical approach to handle:

Hi there, another song that will be part of the repertoire and that I was taking a look to see what I was going to do. I decided to go a bit more for the bright sound Mike Patton used at the time, please let me know if it sounds fine

This is a cool song that was in my plans to do a decent study for a while, very interesting, full of details and "traps". For example, at first my idea was on the lines of "I will just support and darken the living hell out of it", but it sounded just wrong, after experimenting a long time, I found that it sounds much better to just relax and just speak it more, working with lower intensity (kinda the same that happens with everything else haha, but, tricked me anyways).

Hope you like it! Let me know please, everyone that listens and that can drop a few lines, thanks a lot!!!

3 things that you could work toward in order to improve this sample.
1 - Same vowel through it all, no nasalance. You begin with a nasal Ah, then you add a H behind the next note, then you change it to OH. Its either AH or Oh, and dont make it nasal, oral all the way, literally keep your voice in your mouth.
2 - Before you breath, think of the highest note on the interval you are going to sing, position your mouth, tongue, everything as if you were singing that note, then inhale WITH that positon and thinking of the vowel , dont let anything change, inhale with the "high note/vowel position" and keep it until the last note is finished.
3 - Dont thin, I have no idea of what you are trying to achieve by "thinning", but in fact, given what I heard in these samples, you would benefit from going strong. You have a bit of airyness, insecure attacks, etc. So instead of "thining out", I would think "loud and clear". Think authoritative voice, or calling someone thats far, whatever you need to keep you strong. The key here is to think of volume, of "more voice", and not of forcing/pushing it.

@Simpan, can I hear how "shouted" sounds like in the present moment, go for it and blast it out, let me hear how it sounds like.

Its been a while! I was studying this one for some time but had to put in on hold to learn a bunch of other songs for a project...
Anyways, cool song that in my opinion needs an extra punch to work well. Very fun stuff to study, I recommend!

Let me know how it sounds like!  and thanks for listening!!

Hi!
Man two things that needs to be addressed right away, first, the begining is awesome in regards to position and placement, thats exactly what you need to do, BUT, please redo it and sing on the beat man, you are singing ahead of the tempo almost all the time, its distracting!
And when going high, you are exagerating the change, try to keep your voice closer to what you do on the begining, just use the vowels more on the direction of Uh (cover more). The way you are doing right now produces a huge change and it breaks the quality you have on the lower area. On Hold, either go loud with OH, or cover too. You sang it almost hEHld, doesnt work well.
Right direction, keep it up!

Hey!
Cool song, was recording some original material and did a take on it to give it a break, I liked it so here it goes:

@ronws and rotlung thanks guys
@Adolph haaha super cool!
@Anthony and Elvis thank you so much. It took a real lot of work, and really, I sucked big time ahahah, I think Ive linked a recording somewhere around here of me murdering some songs, I will try to find it. No way I could sing anything from Iron back then, in fact this one would be on the "impossible" list until more recently.
@Owen, Pekka and aravin Thank you so much for the words guys!
@Rob, Olem and Jugulator ahaha thank you guys, truth is it would be smarter to do it standing up, but my current settings are not very practical in that sense when I am making videos (nowhere to place the camera, etc), I will probably reorganize the studio to allow me to record while standing up in a easier manner. I got used to support while sitting down though, its not that different anymore.
@felipxp Thank you!!
@benny82 I will show it for sure, needs some more polishing! And thanks bro
@akarawd thank you my friend!
 
@everyone thanks so much for listening and for the words. Really appreciate it!
