I like yours better actually, very clean
Thank you so much! I think we've all had the experience where when we've listened back to our voices, it just doesn't sound "right" to our own ears. But I'll take your compliment nonetheless! Thank you.

Here's a clip of me singing the chorus to "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith. The highest note I'm hitting is an A4 (I'm singing it a half step higher than the original).
As a comparison, here's a guy singing it on "The Voice": https://youtu.be/zAaVoMLblDY?t=34s
To me, his sound is so much meatier and much more chesty. To me, my voice sounds like Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees or an Axl Rose. Nothing wrong with either of them, but not the effect I'm going for.
Basically, my question is:
If I continue to do meowing exercises / sirens / slides, will my tone eventually darken? Or am I doing something completely wrong to generate this tone?
Other sub questions:
Should I be enunciating these vowels more with the "ng" sound to try to resonate it more in my nose? Or should it feel more like a "ha" sound to try to bring up my chest more into the mix?
Lastly, here's another sample of me singing high notes with a more "bottom to top" approach up to G4 (Wise men(G4) say..). My problem is, I feel like I'm definitely "pulling up" my chest voice to hit the G4 with that tone is pitchy and strained. The A4 I'm hitting in Lay Me Down doesn't strain me at all but it doesn't have the same timbre quality as this G4.
How do I sound less like Mickey Mouse in my head voice?

Definitely really helps! I actually within this year had a thyroidectomy and the surgeons had to cut away a lot of the muscles around my thyroid. Hasn't been the same since
