ROFL! I literally sang along to that in my head.... I'm trying to see if I can sing it and play my guitar along to it. I cannot sing and play guitar simultaneously to save my life. Definitely something I'll have to work on.

Oooooh, I love me some Alice in Chains. That's definitely on my to-do list. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Thank you guys! It's definitely a huge motivator to hear that I'm not terrible! LOL! And thanks ronws, I'm definitely going to start practicing on starting phrases "cleanly". I've been practicing non stop lately, so I'll definitely focus on avoiding the creak-ey sound. I think it definitely has it's uses, but I feel as though I do it too much. I've been practicing with some Nirvana songs as of late (my all time fave band ), so hopefully soon I'll upload another "cover" of one of their songs and see how it goes. Again, thank you guys for taking the time to listen to my singing and respond! I know there's a lot of threads created daily in this forum, so I really do appreciate it! - Alex

Hi, So I've posted here once before about a year ago (on a different account) as well as a few other forums and I've been practicing (not daily but at least once a week) and I want to hear your opinions on how I sound. I'm singing a snippet of Was It A Dream by 30 Seconds to Mars. I'm singing an octave higher because I feel more comfortable at this range, even though I have a somewhat deeper voice. The song is kinda slow so I don't get any high or loud notes in it really, but I feel more comfortable starting with a song like this... Link: One thing I can critique on my self so far is I have this somewhat uncontrollable vocal fry at the beginning of phrases. I can avoid doing it if I focus, but currently it's not "natural" for me. Please be honest (if I suck I don't wanna embarrass myself any further lol) and please give any form of criticism you can. I love rock music and my dream is to be in a band so that would be the genre I'd be in, so if anyone has any suggestions on songs i can attempt to sing so you can get a better feel of my voice thus far, let me know and I'll try to record it ASAP. All I have recording-wise is my iPhone so the quality isn't the best, btw. Thank you so much! - Alex
