Thanks man. Any areas I need vast improvement on?

It was just 2 quick takes because I just want to know if I am singing/rapping correctly. If you could give me a 1-10 rating that would be nice, and any tips and advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks a ton for the great advice ron! hahaha good anecdote. Do you think that you have honestly seen a difference in youre singing performance since 1988, or is singing more a thing based on gift/genetics. Im 18 now, planning on becoming an investment banker , but will continue playing music. I would like to perform for people, something about performing is really fun (but I am way to embarrassed about my voice to sing in front of people). Do you sing for people, and if so, when did you start?

Ya i guess my response came off kind of the wrong way. I love music and regardless I will continue to play everyday. Its just I kind of want something to show for my time I have spent playing. I have never actually sang for anyone in person, when people ask me to play something for them, I kind of just feel awkward, cause im a decent guitarist, but not good enough to really amaze someone. I was kind of looking to see if my voice is of high enough quality, where if someone asks me to play something, I could sing a few notes, and they would be semi-impressed.

Thanks for the great responses! Very helpful. If I wanted to create original material do you think it would be something people would enjoy hearing. My main focus in life is not music, but I would like to have something such as a decent youtube following or play at small shows or maybe even festivals, do you honestly think I have the quality of voice for that, or should I just stick to playing in my room. And should I enter in my school talent show?

thanks for the advice. is there a way to get a better tone or is that innate, is my voice enjoyable to listen to or just not disenjoyable if that makes sense.

wow thanks guys for the ratings. I have a sore throat/cold right now so that might be part of it. What kind of exercises would be good for me?

Ive posted on here a few other times, but a few weeks ago I started singing with a different style (I think maybe a difference in head or chest voice or from the diaphram or something), but anyways, please give any tips/critique/opinions and a 1-10 rating. Thank you!

ya I can kind of sing 2 different styles, I just think the way where I use a lot of air sounds better? does it not? I listen to a lot of airy singers i guess like john mayer and kings of connivence.

probably should put the link up haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cyIwzd9n-M&list=LLX4EmbtXU4SPNE3hS8azG8A

Which one of the 2 parts should I write the verse over, im not great with song structure. And more importantly can you please rate my voice and singing. Thank you.

haha thanks man. both are just ideas of a song recorded pretty quickly. but any tips on singing are very welcome. Im trying to get better but not sure how
